In the [[Pokémon games]], the level cap is level 100. When a Pokémon has reached level 100, it cannot gain any more [[experience]] or level up. Due to this, level 100 Pokémon cannot [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|evolve in any way which requires leveling up]].

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, when a Pokémon has reached level 100, even if it has not gained maximum {{EV}}s, it cannot continue gaining EVs through battle (except {{p|Deoxys}}). [[Vitamin]]s can still be used to raise EVs. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the player can use the [[Box trick]]. In Generation {{gen|V}} stats are recalculated after every battle, so a level 100 Pokémon gains and applies EVs normally.

By exploiting the [[old man glitch]] in Generation I, a Pokémon can be acquired at a level higher than 100. Also in Generation I, any Pokémon can also be raised to a level above 100 via the [[Pokémon merge glitch]]; however, Pokémon in the Slow experience group need to be merged with a [[glitch Pokémon]] who requires even more experience at level 100. These Pokémon can continue to be leveled up with [[Rare Candies]] until level 255. Whenever a Pokémon over level 100 gains any amount of [[experience]], its level will revert to 100, and if a Rare Candy is fed to a level 255 Pokémon, it will revert to level 0.
