Summary
An incredibly dedicatedPokemon GOplayer reached level 50 under nine months after creating their account in the game. By participating inPokemon GOactivities such as catching Pokemon and taking part in Raids or events, players earn XP to level up their accounts. But there is one extremely challenging milestone forPokemon GOplayers, and that is getting to level 50.
The journey forPokemon GOplayers to get from level 40 to 50 is very challenging because level-up requirements increase exponentially. To level up to level 41, for example,Pokemon GOplayers need to do things such ashave a Legendary Pokemonand power it up 20 times, earn 6 million XP, and catch 200 Pokemon in a single day. The difficulty is bigger to make level 50 a reality, withPokemon GOplayers needing 999 Excellent Throws, 30 million XP, and other things. But onePokemon GOtrainer was undeterred and showed that not only is it possible to achieve this feat, but in an incredibly short period.
Reddit user matthewormatt has reached level 50 inPokemon GOin less than nine months. The screenshot they shared shows the status of their account, which was created on June 28, 2025. With more than 72,000 Pokemon caught and over 13,000 PokeStops visited, the player explains that they began by playing for a few hours every day. As they became more familiar with the variousPokemon GOevents, they began to focus on events with double XP as a reward.
Level 50 is the Pokemon GO “Endgame”
To help push their rush towards level 50, they said they bought Remote Raid Passes, Premium Battle Passes, and Lucky Eggs. Now that they’ve reached level 50 inPokemon GOin less than a year, the player plans to “truly enjoy the events,” rather than focusing on the XP reward.Pokemon GOplayers who reach level 50like matthewormatt, get rewards such as Ultra Balls, Elite Charged TM, and an exclusive jacket to equip their avatar.
As well as becoming a more casual player, they said they will wait for the maximum level inPokemon GOto increase. At the moment, level 50 is the maximum a player can go, although there are rumors about Nianticincreasing thePokemon GOlevel capto 60. Until that happens, feats like this trainer’s will continue to be impressive, as manyPokemon GOplayers take a long time to reach level 50, and some don’t even come close after years of playing the game.
