A summary screen in Pokémon GO. The semi-circle shows how close a Pokémon is to the Power Up limit, and the cost is displayed next to the Power Up button
In Pokémon GO, the player can Power Up (Japanese: 強化 strengthen) a Pokémon using Stardust and candy to increase its stats. This is analogous to raising a Pokémon's level in the core series games, but no explicit numeric level is ever given for Pokémon in Pokémon GO.
Mechanics
|
This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Initial Power Up level of Pokémon obtained from Raid Battles and Field/Special Research must be confirmed
|
Powering Up a Pokémon raises its stats, which is reflected on the Pokémon's summary screen in its HP and CP. Upon pressing the Power Up button, the game will show how much the CP will be increased and ask the player to confirm.
Each Pokémon effectively has a "Power Up level". A Pokémon's Power Up level determines the cost to Power Up a Pokémon (measured in Stardust and candy), its CP multiplier, the value of its HP, Attack and Defense, and (during wild encounters) its catch rate. Each Power Up increases a Pokémon's Power Up level by 0.5, up to the player's Trainer level + 2. The half-circle gauge above or behind a Pokémon on its summary screen indicates how close it is to this limit. The highest possible Power Up level is 40.
A wild Pokémon's Power Up level can be a whole number ranging anywhere from 1 to the Trainer level + 2, up to a maximum of level 30 (or level 35 if it has a weather bonus). For Pokémon hatched from Eggs, the initial Power Up level will be the same as the Trainer level at the time the Egg was originally obtained, but capped at level 20.
The level of Pokémon a transferred from Pokémon GO to GO Park in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! is equal to its Power Up level, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Levels
Powering Up a Pokémon requires both Stardust and candy. The amount of Stardust and candy required for the next Power Up will be shown on the Pokémon's summary screen. If the Pokémon is at the maximum Power Up level for the player's Trainer level, then the player will not be able to Power Up the Pokémon. Each time a Pokémon is Powered Up, stats are recalculated using the CP multiplier, which increases with level. Lucky Pokémon require only 50% of the listed Stardust costs to Power Up.
The following table shows the CP multiplier that corresponds to each Power Up level, along with the costs needed to Power Up to the next level. Cumulative costs show the total amount of Stardust and candy needed to Power Up a Pokémon from level 1. Cells that have been grayed-out denote values that cannot be attained or used, but are still coded into the game for conventional purposes.
