Pokemon's competitive scene started in 2000 with a regional championship held in various cities near London. The rules set for that championship were simple: trainers were only allowed to use Pokemon from Blue and Red versions. But, of course, players had to ensure their Pokemon were at the maxed level and had the best moves possible.
From that point forward, the competitive scene has extended to the TCG and mobile games like Pokemon Unite and Pokemon GO. But, leveling up Pokemon in Pokemon GO is quite different from traditional Pokemon games since it's directly tied to a player's «Trainer Level.» Sometimes earning XP in Pokemon GO isn't as straightforward as it should be, especially without proper guidance.
No matter the XP earning method a player chooses to use, they should always use a Lucky Egg. A Lucky Egg doubles XP gain from any source for 30 Minutes. Some Events extend the duration of Lucky Egg's, so players should always keep an eye for upcoming Monthly Events.
Catching Pokemon is an effective way to earn XP, but it highly depends on the number of Pokemon that spawn in an area. Players that live in rural regions may find it challenging to earn a decent amount of XP by catching Pokemon. In addition to from earning XP, players will also earn Stardust, which is needed to level up Pokemon.
Players can make this method easier by using a Pokemon GO Auto-Catcher. These devices catch Pokemon without the player needing to be online, but they can only use Poke Balls, not Great/Ultra Balls. The major downside of using an Auto-catcher is that it uses many Poke Balls, so players will need to stock up beforehand.
