In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can '''Power Up''' (Japanese: '''強化''' ''strengthen'') a Pokémon using {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and [[Candy]] to make it stronger. This is analogous to raising a Pokémon's [[level]] in the [[core series]] games, but no explicit numeric level is ever given for Pokémon in Pokémon GO. Powering Up a Pokémon raises its {{stat|In Pokémon GO|stats}}, which is reflected on the Pokémon's summary screen in its HP and CP.

==Power Up level==
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can '''power up''' (Japanese: '''強化''' ''strengthen'') a Pokémon using {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and {{OBP|Candy|GO}} to increase its {{stat|In Pokémon GO|stats}}. This is analogous to raising a Pokémon's [[level]] in the [[core series]] games, but in Pokémon GO, no numeric level is visible for Pokémon.
Each Pokémon effectively has a "Power Up level". This level dictates:
* The cost of the next Power Up, and
* A multiplier that determines the Pokémon's stats.


When a Pokémon is first caught or hatched, its Power Up level may be anywhere from 1 to a limit dictated by the player's [[Experience#Pokémon GO|Trainer level]]. This is the largest reason why two of the same Pokémon the player may encounter can have different CP and HP values, and it is likewise why the player will encounter Pokémon with higher CP and HP as their Trainer level increases. However, data uncovered from the game suggests that [[wild Pokémon]] will always consider the player to have, at most, a Trainer level of 30 for purposes of limiting their initial Power Up level, and that {{pkmn|Egg}}s will always consider the player to have at most a Trainer level of 20.
==Mechanics==
Each Pokémon has a level that effectively counts how many times it has been powered up. Each level corresponds to a [[Stat#CP|CP]] multiplier, a value used to calculate the Pokémon's stats and {{OBP|catch rate|GO}}. Each power-up increases the level by 0.5, up to the {{player}}'s [[Trainer level]] + 10. The cost to power up a Pokémon increases every two levels (or every four power-ups). The highest level a Pokémon can be powered up to is 50.  


A Pokémon's initial Power Up level is completely irrelevant to a Pokémon's eventual potential. Any two Pokémon can reach the same Power Up level, and the only thing that can make a difference between their stats at that point is their {{IV}}s. If two Pokémon have the same IVs, but different initial Power Up levels, the only difference between raising them will be that the lower one will require more Stardust and Candy to reach the same stats as the higher one.
A Pokémon that is currently [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] cannot be powered up.


The player's Trainer level limits the maximum Power Up level their Pokémon are able to reach.
===Process===
<math>max = TrainerLevel * 2 + 2</math>
Players can power up eligible Pokémon by clicking the "Power Up" button on the Pokémon's summary screen. Upon pressing the Power Up button, a pop-up screen will show the following information:
This limit applies both to the initial Power Up level of caught or hatched Pokémon and to Powering Up a Pokémon from their summary screen. The half-circle gauge above or behind a Pokémon on its summary screen indicates how close it is to this limit.
* The Pokémon's current CP, with an arrow pointing to the CP it would have after Powered Up.
* The {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} cost to power Up
* The {{OBP|Candy|GO}} cost to power Up
* The [[Candy (GO)#Candy XL|Candy XL]] cost to power up, if applicable


==Costs==
The pop-up screen displays this information for one power-up by default. The screen also displays "-" and "+" buttons, allowing players to decrease or increase the number of power-ups to apply to the Pokémon. Once players have chosen how much to power up their Pokémon, they can click the "Power Up" button on the pop-up screen to apply the changes. Clicking the "Cancel" button on the pop-up screen will return players to the Pokémon's summary screen without making any changes.
Powering Up a Pokémon requires both Stardust and Candy. The amount of Stardust and Candy required for the next Power Up will be shown on the Pokémon's summary screen. If the Pokémon is at the maximum Power Up level for the player's Trainer level, then the player will not be able to Power Up the Pokémon.


Each time a Pokémon is Powered Up, its Power Up level increases by 1 and its {{stat|In Pokémon GO|stats}} are recalculated using the stat multiplier in the rightmost column below.
===Stat changes===
Powering up a Pokémon raises its CP, which is derived from its [[Stat#Pokémon GO|HP, Attack, and Defense]]; as such, some combination of these stats will also increase. The CP and HP changes are reflected through animations shown on the Pokémon's summary screen. A Pokémon whose maximum HP increases by powering up will also gain an equal amount of remaining HP; consequently, if the Pokémon being powered up has [[fainting|fainted]], it will be revived with a remaining HP equal to that amount.

Powering up a Pokémon requires both Stardust and Candy. The amount of Stardust and Candy required for the next power-up will be shown on the Pokémon's summary screen. If the Pokémon is at the maximum level for the player's Trainer level, then the player will not be able to power up the Pokémon. Each time a Pokémon is powered up, its {{stat|In Pokémon GO|stats}} are recalculated using a new CP multiplier.

If a Pokémon is transferred from Pokémon GO to [[GO Park]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] or to [[Pokémon HOME]], its resulting [[level]] will be equal to its level from Pokémon GO, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

The following table shows the CP multiplier that corresponds to each level, along with the costs needed to power-up from that level. Cumulative costs show the total amount of Stardust and Candy needed to power up a Pokémon from Lv. 1. Pokémon that have reached Lv. 40 will require Candy XL instead of Candy to power up further.

Levels above 50 are unattainable by powering up, but have been coded into the game since the [https://pokemongolive.com/post/gobeyond-level40 level cap was increased from 40 to 50]. The CP multipliers for Lv. 50.5 and Lv. 51 are only attainable by a Lv. 49.5 and Lv. 50 Best Buddy, respectively, deployed as the player's current [[Buddy Pokémon]]. The CP multiplier for Lv. 55 is only attained by [[Team (GO)|team leaders]] while {{DL|Trainer Battle (GO)|Battle Training}} in Master League.

{{DL|Trade (GO)|Lucky Pokémon}} require only 50% of the listed Stardust costs to power up. {{GO|Shadow Pokémon}} cost 1.2× the listed Stardust and Candy to power up, while Purified Pokémon only require 90% of the listed Stardust and Candy costs (rounded up). Stardust reduction bonuses for Lucky and Purified Pokémon can stack, meaning that a Pokémon that is both Lucky and Purified only costs 45% of the normal Stardust amount to power up.

===Initial level===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm what happens if a player below Level 25 purifies a Level 25 or above Shadow Pokémon}}
Pokémon can only be obtained at whole-number levels. If a Pokémon with a fractional level is traded, its level is rounded down.
The following shows the possible range of initial levels for each encounter type.
