Level

A trainer with their level and XP

See: Experience

During normal play, the player will gain Experience Points (XP) by engaging in various activities in-game. The amount of XP the player has determines their Trainer Level. As the trainer's level increases, higher-level Pokémon can be found in the wild. The current maximum level a player can get is 40. Each time a player levels up, rewards are given based on what level has been achieved. The maximum CP of your Pokémon will also depend on your trainer level.

Gaining XP

XP can be gained through various in-game actions. Capturing Pokémon, hatching Eggs, interacting with PokéStops, and battling rival Gyms are the most common methods of obtaining XP. If the player has used a Lucky Egg, any XP gained in a 30-minute period afterwards is doubled.
