Experience
(XP and levels)
You earn experience (XP) by defeating Pokémon, and many Tasks give XP as a reward too. Two rules decide how fast you level: the higher your level, the less XP you get from each Pokémon, and from level 50 on, every death costs you XP.
How much XP you get at each level
Every Pokémon has a base XP value, and your level decides how much of it you get. At level 150, for example, a Pokémon worth 1,000 base XP gives you 400. The share drops the moment you enter the next bracket: at level 199 you still get 40%, and as soon as you hit 200 you’re down to 12.5%.
| Your level | XP you get | A 1,000 base XP Pokémon gives you |
|---|---|---|
| 1–99 | 100% | 1,000 |
| 100–129 | 80% | 800 |
| 130–149 | 60% | 600 |
| 150–199 | 40% | 400 |
| 200–319 | 12.5% | 125 |
| 320–399 | 5% | 50 |
| 400 and up | 1% | 10 |
The 1,000 base XP Pokémon is only an example to compare brackets: at high levels you hunt in tougher areas, where Pokémon give far more base XP. The table doesn’t include your XP bonuses.
Note: Wildscape hunts (the ones marked with a skull) only give XP from level 150 on.
XP calculator
Enter your level and the percentage on your experience bar. You’ll see the total XP for that level, how much it takes to get there from the previous level, how much you still need to level up, and how much you’d lose if you died right now: unprotected, with Bless and with Bless Plus.
- Total experience for the level
- 15,694,800
- From the previous level
- 475,400
- To the next level
- 485,200
Loss on death
- No protection
- 356,550
- Bless
- 106,965
- Bless Plus
- 28,523
Dying and losing XP
Up to level 49 you can die without losing anything. From level 50, every death costs you XP, and the amount grows with your level and with how full your bar is. Die right after reaching level 100 (bar at 0%) and you lose 356,550 XP; with the bar at 99%, 366,227. At level 400 with the bar at 0%, it’s already 17,775,900 XP.
| Protection | Share of the loss | XP you lose |
|---|---|---|
| None | 100% | 17,775,900 |
| Bless | 30% (−70%) | 5,332,770 |
| Bless Plus | 8% (−92%) | 1,422,071 |
Bless and Bless Plus cover a single death caused by a creature: they’re used up on that death, and then you need a new one.
Bless is sold by Nurse Joy, at the abandoned Pokémon Center east of Fuchsia, and in the Diamond Store (Character category) for 2 Diamonds. Bless Plus costs 5 Diamonds in the same category; you also get it from the level 350 Achievement (3) and at level 13 of the Game Pass Premium track (2).
To check whether you’re covered, open your Profile (Ctrl+T, or the Profile button on the top bar → “Main”). Next to the VIP icon you’ll see “Life Insurance” with Bless, “Life Insurance Plus” with Bless Plus, or a faded icon, “No Life Insurance”, if you have neither.
XP bonuses
These items raise the XP you earn while they last. A +100% bonus doubles it: if a Pokémon gives you 400 XP, it gives you 800 with the bonus active.
