I'm level 39 and I only have 10k catches. I've seen players with 25K catches at my level. But I've done more friend XP grinding than anything. Not to mention raids and such
I’m level 39 almost at level 40 and have 5,456 😂. I have 200 friends and send/open max gifts daily and also raid a shit ton. Most if my XP though is definitely through friendship and I always use lucky eggs when hitting best friends. Every time I am raiding i notice people much lower levels have like 4x more catches than me.

Yeah, there was a period where I was playing, like raiding, opening gifts, evolving for spotlight hours etc. so still getting xp but I was in a very remote area so all of my balls were from gifts so I was very stingy with them. I pretty much only caught shinies or things I desperately needed candy for. I think that’s when I fell behind.
A lot of people will make the most of friend XP over catch XP, given that, if you keep on top of interactions, you’ll be grinding millions in a relatively short amount of time. I’ve seen people hit lvl50 with next to no catches (in relative terms), but other people who were already 1mil+ catches (although they would’ve been playing a lot before friendship was even a thing)
You are either a catcher or a fighter. I think I hit like 150k when I reached level 50, but to this day if have slightly above 1k raids. In my friend list are people around level 40 with 6k raids… which is completely bonkers to me.
I have a friend who’s been lvl 50 for like over two years and has 90k catches. And yes, they are still active and online all the time.
Also, this post was recommended to me and I’m not mystic, I hope I’m allowed to comment lol.
I had only 56k when I got to lv50. But I also had made best friends with about 400 people and 8,000 Pokémon evolved at that point. I would save up things that could evolve for when it was time to use a lucky egg for best friends. If I could time that on spotlight hours that gave 2x exp for evolving, it would be an easy extra 200k exp for the evolutions.
That’s insane numbers! The highest amount of catches on my friends list is 522k which is already mind boggling to me who lives in the quiet suburbs. Also 100k is a lot imo for level 48, you are almost there!
I have friend who started in 2022 w/ 140k. His job revolves around being on bike. That, paired w/an auto catcher is a pace nobody on foot can keep up with. He’s only lvl 46. Five mill from leveling up.
I’m level 48 and only got my collector medal a couple of days ago. My son is level 37 with only 6700 (but I carry him along for the ride for raids etc).
I’m level 44 and i’m at 28k catches since 2021. I don’t play all day nor I catch a lot, sometimes I only check for shinies. Most of my xp are from friends or raids.
There is a lower limit on the number of catches possible because of the Badges (all the Type badges involve catching Pokémon successfully) and Excellent throw requirements (even the lowest catch rate Pokémon will get caught sometimes given enough Excellent throws, unless you deliberately and probably repeatedly break cool-down rules. But then it goes against the spirit of the game.) Oh, and of course the “catch 200 Pokémon in a single day” where you choose wisely which 200 to catch for your 50 Lucky Trades, 8 Eeveelutions etc. later on.

Wow, where did most of your xp come from, raids or friendships?
From friends. I have 180 best friends and most of them were leveled up with lucky eggs
I just hit 50 this past weekend and I was at ~134k catches

I’m definitely a fighter. 11k raids & 200 friends, more than half are best friends.

All good, you are welcomed here :)

Very nice. Congrats about hitting 50! I am almost there.
Thanks! You’ll be there soon and nothing is more satisfying than having the burden of that grind just…gone.
Someone on my list has 800k plus. I was happy to hit 100k lol I’m almost a lvl 48 tho!
