In Pokémon GO many trainers try to reach the maximum level, but the journey there is difficult. A player has finally succeeded and shows why the effort was worth it for him in every way.
What level is it about? In Pokémon GO, trainers can not only catch monsters and level them up but also level up themselves. While one could only reach level 40 until the end of 2020, the maximum level is now level 50. However, achieving this is a tough road.
A trainer has finally reached this level and received an incredible reward. What it is and why he received it, we have summarized for you below.
Trainer secures legendary shiny from level 50 research
What reward did he receive? Many trainers have been trying to reach level 50 for years, but the numerous tasks along the way present special challenges. Trainer Creepy-Phone has finally succeeded and, as he shares on Reddit, was rewarded with a special encounter.
He proudly shows a picture of a shiny Mewtwo, which he received from the special research for level 50. He writes (via reddit.com): I guess it was worth finishing the level 50 research. I finally pushed through and finished it today. It took so long because I REALLY didn’t want to play the GO Battle League. Just finished it and got this beauty. Can’t complain.
How did he get the Mewtwo? If you, like Creepy-Phone, have finally reached level 50, you will receive a special special research. This includes a total of 4 tablets with 3 tasks each, rewarding you with plenty of stardust as well as incense, super incubators, premium raid passes, or even an encounter with Mewtwo.
If you are lucky like Creepy-Phone, you may even encounter the legendary Pokémon in its shiny form.
Why is the road to level 50 so difficult? While for the first 40 levels you only need a lot of experience points, these alone are no longer enough for the last 10 levels. Trainers must therefore also complete additional tasks to level up.
And these tasks can be quite challenging. For example, you have to catch 200 Pokémon in one day, complete 100 field research tasks, battle Team GO Rocket or play in the GO Battle League. Especially the latter causes headaches for trainers who do not like to play PvP. But the efforts can pay off, as Creepy-Phone’s post proves.
Players celebrate the encounter and progress of the trainer
Catch causes excitement: The special shiny reward from the level 50 research is also celebrated by the Reddit community. At the current time (09/05/2023 at 12:00 PM), the post has already received more than 2,700 upvotes and over 170 comments.
And that is not surprising, as the legendary Pokémon is incredibly popular among players. Other trainers are now also hoping to encounter such a specimen upon reaching level 50 and completing the corresponding research. However, some are still stuck at other levels, as they report in the comments (via reddit.com):
- Simple_Mastodon9220:
Really now! I have been playing occasionally since 2016 and am still only at level 36.
- Cytogal:
I am crying at level 48 – no one here to trade with.
- TheOuterDimensions:
I have been at level 49 for over a year. I refuse to play GBL [GO Battle League].
Shiny luck of other trainers: But Creepy-Phone is not the only trainer who has had luck and secured a shiny Mewtwo. Other trainers have also had a great stroke of luck after completing the research.
For example, Alfredwondo even secured a shiny with an IV of 100%, as he writes in a comment (via reddit.com): Congrats, man! I finished mine in June and got my first legendary Shundo. I can’t wait for its Megas to be released!
Why is Mewtwo so popular? This is mainly because Mewtwo has strong stats and is among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. It is also a real all-rounder, as it has not only its psychic attacks but also strong attacks of other types, which is why it is also useful in raids outside of its own type.
And it is also very prominent in the Master League and should not be missing in any team. However, since it is not found very often in the game, trainers particularly aim for its shiny form.
What trainer level are you at in Pokémon GO? Are you also stuck on one of the tasks? Or have you perhaps had shiny luck with Mewtwo yourself? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and share your thoughts with other trainers.
In Pokémon GO, you can finally secure a second Master Ball. The first trainer completes the research for the 2nd Master Ball and draws an important conclusion.
