In other words, most of them will be less than double what they are now.Starting on November 30, 2020, you’ll earn more XP from catching Pokémon, evolving Pokémon, hatching Eggs, registering new Pokédex entries, and more. In some cases, the XP earned will be as much as double what it was before, so it’ll be easier than ever for Trainers to catch up to their higher-level friends!
I try to follow the rule of EBT: Evolve Before Transfer. If you have enough candy to evolve something and it's something don't have any reason to save candy for, evolve it before you transfer it. That way you can have your cake and eat it, too.Evolving Pokémon: is this still a good way of gaining XP? I haven't been collecting Pokémon to do an evolution session in quite a long time because, well, I need the box space.
It will probably be easier than it sounds. Rocket leaders pause in their attacks after you use a charge move and switch, so with some careful planning and something that charges uhh charge moves quickly it should be possible to chain those pauses.Well, this is certainly... interesting...
- Level 50: This is it! The home stretch! To reach the highest available level in Pokémon GO, you must master all aspects of the game. Some examples include making Excellent Throws, catching Legendary Pokémon, and defeating Team GO Rocket Leaders with Pokémon under 1,500 CP, so you can tell this will be the ultimate test of whether you’re ready to stand among the most accomplished Trainers in Pokémon GO. And, of course, you might also find yourself with a surprise avatar item at the end!

My reaction went straight from "Damn, I'm working late that day" to "oh, okay then" so fast.Serebii spoiled the surprise mon and it's exactly as boring as I thought it would be.
Unfortunately, my old tablet suffered the same thing. I suppose it is time to rely only on my newer phone, and it's already pain.Well, time to unfollow this thread unfortunately. The latest update removed my ability to even play the game due to having an old phone so it looks like that's it until i get a new one (which I can't justify as this one works).
Still really annoyed that I never got to open my last Meltan box and find out if I could catch my first shiny of it :(
