In Pokémon GO there are some achievements waiting for you. One particular trainer has now achieved one in a record-breaking time while spending a small fortune.
Pokémon GO now offers you many aspects in the game that you can devote yourself to. These include, in addition to catching and collecting Pokémon, building increasingly stronger teams for raids and the battle league, as well as now also for Dynamax raids.
Another aspect is leveling your character to the maximum level of 50. For this, you not only need a lot of experience points, but from level 40 onwards, you also have to complete some tasks.
On Reddit, a trainer reports that he has reached level 50. And the time it took him is quite impressive.
“Big grind, but it was fun”
How long did the trainer take for this? As the player reports on Reddit and substantiates with a screenshot, he started playing on December 27, 2023, and just a few days ago reached level 50. So he took less than 10 months to reach the maximum level.
As he writes himself, it actually only took him 7 months for this level. This is because he did not play for a full 3 months out of the 10 months.
What did he spend the money on? In a further comment, he also mentions that he spent between $600 and $700 during that time.
He states that he spent an average of $50 a month on PokéCoins as well as purchasing some unspecified tickets.
What does the trainer say about his success? The trainer himself comments on this achievement with the following words:
Big grind, but it was fun. Reasonable time for completion. Could do it much faster than in 10 months if I had known back then what I know today.
I live by 6 PokéStops. Made daily routes. Very active. I was away for 3 months, so it’s actually 7 months. I could do it in much less time; at the beginning of the game, I was clueless.
Well, managed in under a year. Get the achievements.
When asked how he achieved this goal, he also states that he gathered a lot of experience points, mainly by benefiting from the experience point bonus when reaching new friendship levels.
What does the community say about it? In the post, there are several commentators who are impressed by the trainer’s time and comment on how long they have been playing and what level they have reached. Some of the comments include:
- “I have been playing for 8 years and I’m only level 45,” writes Fun-Outlandishness35.
- “Meanwhile, I’m aiming for level 50 in 10 years lol,” comments Menirz.
- “I’ve been here since day one and hit 50 a few months ago. And I thought I was playing too much,” notes trainer MulletOnFire.
In the game, you can also focus on other aspects and work more on your Pokémon collections rather than your level. A good opportunity for this are the events, of which there are several in the game.
