[[ | '''Levels''' are as a measurement of how strong a [[Pokémon]] currently is. They are portrayed differently in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|games}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}. | ||

Levels are featured predominantly in the Pokémon games. They are determined by how much [[experience]] that Pokémon has. A Pokémon's level will range from 1 to 100. When a Pokémon gains a level, its stats increase by a small amount. It may also learn a new [[move]] or [[evolution|evolve]]. Opponent's levels may be viewed in-battle, and {{player}}s may see their own Pokémon's levels in-battle, in the [[PC]] or by using the [[menu]]. | |||
A Pokémon's level will also affect its [[happiness]], raising it slightly when the Pokémon levels up. This means that a {{p|Pichu}} trained in battle will eventually evolve into a {{p|Pikachu}}, with its happiness going up slightly each level. Using Rare Candies will also raise happiness, though for a long time people thought it did not, due to a Pokémon's happiness also being raised by the large amount of walking that a player must do in long grass to encounter wild Pokémon or recharge such items as the [[Vs. Seeker]]. | A Pokémon's level will also affect its [[happiness]], raising it slightly when the Pokémon levels up.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!|two Mystery]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Dungeon specials]], levels are mentioned, but not explained. This may mean that Pokémon themselves understand the concept of levels in the anime but humans do not. | In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!|two Mystery]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Dungeon specials]], levels are mentioned, but not explained.
