Go over the code and convince yourself that Gains in the real game, you can check it out here link. If you are not conviced this formula matches the actual experience gain in the game, I've wrote a simulator simulating the experience Worth of a pokemon including its contribution to evolution. Add that by a 100, the base experience gain without the lucky egg, we find the Divide that out of 1000, the experience gain of evolution under the lucky egg, we get theĬontribution of a single pokemon toward an evolution. However,Ī Pokemon actually cost 1 less candy to evolve because you gain a candy when you evolve a Pokemon. To explain this formula, each pokemon provides 4 candies when sold, and evolution cost "candies_to_evolve" number of candies. If we ignore the bonus from throws, the evolution method grants each pokemon caught this much experience:ġ00 + 1000.0 / ((candies_to_evolve - 1) / 4.0) With an additional 10/50/100 for good/nice/excellent throws when the pokemon is caught, but the real benefit comesįrom evolving the Pokemon, which grants an additional 500 experience per evolution, 1000 if under the effect of the lucky egg. Of Pokemon are evolved under the effect of an lucky egg, bringing in a surge of experience. Pidgeys, Weedles, Caterpies in a lure cluster to accumilate a large number of candies. Leveling up at lower levels (level 1 through 20) primarily consists of Lure Farming: catching basic Pokemon, such as Method will give us clues on why it stops being efficient at higher levels, and motivates Pokestop farming. In an area dense with Pokestops, thisĬan be attained easily by either bicycling or jogging.īefore we dive into the details of Pokestop farming, we need to understand the alternative: Lure Farming. In short, if you are able to access 4+ fresh Pokestops faster than you can catch a basic Pokemon such as a Pidgey or a Ratata, youĪre going to gain comparable, if not more experience by just spinning Pokestops rather than catching Pokemon.

If one lives in an area with sufficient density of Pokestops, this method of gaining experience is just as effective, if Instead of catching a large number ofīasic Pokemon and evolving them with an lucky egg, we'll focus instead on traveling through a large number of Pokestops quickly, In this guide, we explore another form of gaining experience: Pokestop farming.
