Pokémon GO has officially unveiled its new leveling journey update. This patch brings big changes to the game’s leveling system. At the same time, the latest update adds several offerings for its fans. In particular, there will be new cosmetics, Daily Adventure Egg, rewards, and many more. All of these changes make in-game progression faster and more fulfilling.
Increased Trainer Level Cap
According to Niantic, one of the key changes in the update is the increased level cap for trainers. Specifically, the maximum level a player can reach goes from 50 to 80. At the same time, the developers will rebalance the overall leveling system. It enables trainers to earn levels and rewards more often. XP already earned by players will also be applied to this new curve. Plus, no one will drop in level. Trainers at level 23 and above can even go up by at least one level. Similarly, only levels 71-80 will have level-up research tasks instead of levels 41-50.
Note: The changes in level cap do not affect Pokémon.
New Daily Adventure Egg
Another highlight of the patch is the arrival of the Daily Adventure Egg, said the Pokémon GO team. Particularly, it will be available to trainers at level 14 and higher. All they have to do is log in every day. Then, the Egg will automatically be placed in an incubator. To hatch it, players need to walk a distance of 1 km. Doing this will also get them 10,000 XP as a reward. The Daily Adventure Egg does not count toward regular Egg storage. However, trainers can only incubate one at a time.
