This trainer reached the maximum level in Pokémon GO in just a few days, although he only caught one monster. He primarily turned PokéStops for his success.
What happened? Trainer Dennis, who goes by @IAdeptI on Twitter, managed to reach the maximum level in Pokémon GO in less than 5 days. He only caught a single Pikachu. Other trainers have been playing since summer 2016, catching more monsters, and have yet to reach the maximum level.
How did he achieve this? He took advantage of the Adventure Week that is currently active in Pokémon GO, where a lot of experience points are being given away.
Visited 12 cities, turned 4387 PokéStops
On Twitter, Dennis announced that he achieved a new goal. It took him only 4.5 days to go from Level 1 to Level 40 in Pokémon GO. Instead of frantically searching for wild monsters, he primarily relied on PokéStops in his strategy. To be precise, he caught one single Pikachu and turned 4387 PokéStops.
For this special achievement, he visited twelve cities and traveled many kilometers by car. The Jogger medal only credited him with 7 kilometers.
According to his own statements, he used a total of 21 Lucky Eggs. He purchased eleven and also used those given as rewards for leveling up. In Pokémon GO, Lucky Eggs double the experience gained.
That’s why he received so many experience points: The Adventure Week in Pokémon GO is currently running. During the event, you receive additional experience points for spinning Photo Discs at gyms or PokéStops. If you spin the Photo Disc of a PokéStop or a gym for the very first time, you get ten times the experience points.
A little math:
- During the event, there are 2100 experience points for the very first spin of a Photo Disc.
- With a Lucky Egg, that’s 4200 experience points per spin.
- Additionally, every 10th unique PokéStop gives double experience points, making it 8400 XP.
The trainer took advantage of these bonuses and planned a route to quickly visit as many new PokéStops as possible by car.
He now has the worst level 40 account
As Dennis himself writes on Twitter, he now has one of the worst level 40 accounts in Pokémon GO worldwide.
But why is it bad? While his trainer level is now at 40, he does not have strong monsters in his collection. Additionally, he lacks a lot of Stardust, which is usually earned by catching Pokémon to strengthen new monsters.
He can participate in raids, but he can hardly contribute any damage at the higher levels. Therefore, a lot of work still needs to go into the account if he wants to use it seriously.
Would you take on such a challenge?
