Catching Pokémon is the most straightforward method for gaining XP. Beyond adding creatures to your collection, you acquire resources like candy and Stardust for powering them up. However, maximizing XP requires strategic catching:
| XP Reward | Action |
|---|---|
| 500 | First capture of a Pokémon |
| 1000 | Excellent throw |
| 100 | Every 100th capture of the same species |
| 300 | Using AR+ |
| 1500 | First capture of the Daily Pokémon |
| 1000 | Using a Master Ball |
| 6000 | Catching Pokémon daily for a week straight |
