By Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. local time, all
players will receive a special medal commemorating their highest
achieved level (1 to 50). Also, Trainers who have reached level
50 can show off their Level 50 Jacket and an all-new avatar pose
highlighting this achievement.
The level cap will increase from level 50 to level 80. The overall leveling curve from level 1 to 80 will be rebalanced, and players can earn levels more frequently. Tasks for Level-Up Research for levels 41 to 50 will be removed. New Level-Up Research tasks will be added to levels 71 to 80. Players at level 70 and higher have an increased chance of becoming Lucky Friends with other players. New rewards will be added to level-up progression, like increased storage capacity for Pokémon, items, and Gifts. This includes new avatar items starting at level 25! Based on previously earned experience, some players may automatically jump in level on October 15. Those players will receive rewards associated with reaching those levels at that time. Details about which players will jump in level, and by how many levels, will be shared later. No players will go down in level, but the amount of XP needed to reach the next level may change depending on your current level. Stay tuned for details.

Additionally, Timed Research will be available to all Trainers who are level 5 and above. This research will give Trainers the chance to earn over 7 million XP!
Finally, a level 47 Level-Up Research task will be adjusted. Instead of requiring you to explore 25 km in a week eight times, you’ll only need to do so twice.
