Are you tired of feeling left behind by your friends who seem to be leveling up faster in the game? Fear not, my friend! I have a sneaky suspicion that a simple yet effective strategy is being employed, and I am here to share it with you. By implementing the tips I am about to divulge, you will not only increase your friendship level but also maximize your XP by grouping up and using a Lucky Egg. And, as a cherry on top, you can coordinate with your pals using the latest Campfire app. So, sit back, relax, and let me guide you through these foolproof techniques. Trust me, after reading this, leveling up will feel like a walk in the park, and you’ll be well on your way to being a Pokemon master!
Friendship Levels and Their Rewards
Before diving into the strategy, let’s first recap friendship levels and their corresponding XP.
Here is a handy chart to show you friendship level XP awards:
Good Friend | Play together for 1 day | 3,000 XP |
Great Friend | Play together for 7 days | 10,000 XP |
Ultra Friend | Play together for 30 days | 50,000 XP |
Best Friend | Play together for 90 days | 100,000 XP |
You can increase your friendship level with a trainer once per day by engaging in certain activities. These activities include: Opening and sending gifts, participating in a raid together, battling a gym together, trading a Pokemon, or battling each other. You’ll know you have interacted with a trainer because of the blue “halo” or circle around the trainer’s picture. Be cautious of when you interact with your friends when you are one or two days from leveling up.

The Strategy: Grouping Friendship Increases and the Lucky Egg
Ah, the sweet satisfaction of finally reaching those hard-earned friendship level milestones after patiently waiting for 30 or even 90 days! But wait, there’s more! Don’t let all that effort go to waste by missing out on the extra XP you can gain by grouping those friendship increases together. Picture this: basking in the glory of an event like Community Day or a Spotlight Hour, with not just one, but several friendships ready to level up all at once! Here’s a nifty example to drive the point home:
You have 3 friends one day away from Ultra Friends, and 2 friends one day away from Best Friends. The next time you increase your friendship level, you will get:
Ultra Friends | Best Friends | |
Quantity | 3 | 2 |
XP | 50,000 | 100,000 |
Total | 150,000 | 200,000 |
The total here is 350,000, but grouping isn’t advantageous without this important item in your item bag: the Lucky Egg. Using a Lucky Egg doubles the XP you earn for 30 minutes. Open a lucky egg right before you’re going to level up with your friends and your 350,000 XP will become 700,000 XP. Having patience pays off in an enormous way!

Coordinating with Your Friends
Whether you’ve befriended fellow trainers from Reddit, Discord, or even made new buddies during a raid in a far-off land, the Campfire App is about to become your new best friend. With this slick new feature, syncing up your level-up date and time has never been easier. And if you’re feeling a little hesitant, fear not! I’ve got some helpful screenshots to guide you through the process. Get ready to fire up that Campfire chat tool and ignite some serious camaraderie amongst your fellow trainers! Here’s a handy example to show you just how simple it can be:
Step 1 Click the Campfire Logo

Step 2 Click the Pencil/pad Icon

*Note you do not have to coordinate with your friends and vice versa, but it’s definitely a great way for you to get tons of XP and give your fellow trainers a chance to benefit as well. It’s a win-win for all!
In conclusion, if you’re looking to up your Pokemon Go game and level up like a pro, then it’s time to implement these simple yet effective tips. By maximizing your XP, grouping up with friends, and using the Campfire app to coordinate, you’ll be well on your way to achieving Pokemon master status. So don’t waste another minute feeling left behind by your speedy friends. Follow these techniques, sit back, relax, and watch as your Pokemon journey takes you to new heights of success!
