The concept of levels in the anime is not as detailed, nor as frequently mentioned, in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The first time levels were referred to was by students at the [[Pokémon Tech|Academy]] in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. {{ka|Joe|One of them}} was able to quote the levels at which {{p|Pidgey}} and the rest of its family [[evolution|evolve]] and learn certain [[move]]s. The main characters and their Pokémon, however, remain seemingly oblivious to the idea. | |||
[[Brock]] mentions them once, in [[EP201|''Doing What Comes Natu-rally!'']]. He states that moves become more powerful as a Pokémon's level is raised; and {{Ash}} adds that the best way to raise levels is by battling. Despite this, Ash's most used Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, doesn't show signs of being at a higher level than any other Pokémon. After appearing in more than 600 episodes, and battling in most of them, its level would be expected to be high: but it is still defeated easily by some other Trainers' Pokémon. | |||
[[Dawn's Piplup]] also shows that the anime doesn't strictly follow the games' system. In its debut episode, it used {{m|Bide}}, a move Piplup normally doesn't learn until level 18, by which point it would be showing signs of evolution. This did not happen until [[DP122]]. Therefore, level up moves can generally be learned at any time in the anime. | |||
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!|two Mystery]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Dungeon specials]], levels are mentioned, but not explained. This may mean that Pokémon themselves understand the concept of levels in the anime but humans do not. | |||
