Catching Pokémon is the most straightforward way to earn XP. Beyond adding creatures to your collection, it provides resources for powering them up. However, certain actions yield bonus XP:

XP Reward	Action
500	First capture of a Pokémon
1000	Excellent throw
100	Every 100th capture of the same species
300	Using AR+
1500	First capture of the Daily Pokémon
1000	Using a Master Ball
6000	Catching Pokémon daily for a week consecutively

Mastering precise throws for bonus XP takes practice, but significantly accelerates leveling.

Friendship XP

Friendship Level	Days to Achieve	XP Reward
Good	1	3000
Great	7	10000
Ultra	30	50000
Best	90	100000

At higher levels, friendships become a primary XP source. Joining online communities dedicated to friendship leveling can greatly enhance this method.
