In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', {{an|Brock}} mentions [[Barry's Empoleon]] has leveled up a ton since last seeing it, referring to how its battle against a {{p|Mothim}} went. In ''[[DP173|Dealing with a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', when teaching [[Narissa]], Brock says "Now let's level you up. And the only way to do that is to get [[experience]] from battling." These mentions confirm the ability to inflict damage on certain Pokémon becomes easier when a Pokémon grows a level.

In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} comments that [[Ash's Charizard]] is on a higher level than he thought, as it was able to withstand a series of {{t|Electric}} attacks from his {{p|Electabuzz}}. Prior to this, Tracey had reminded Ash that level had to be taken into account as well as type when Ash used Bulbasaur against Electabuzz when the battle started in the hope of using Bulbasaur's Grass advantage over Electric types.
In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', when Ash chose Bulbasaur to battle {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Electabuzz}}, Tracey reminded Ash that level had to be taken into account as well as type despite Grass Pokemon being strong against Electric types. After Bulbasaur was defeated, Drake comments that [[Ash's Charizard]] is on a higher level than he thought, as it was able to withstand a series of Electric attacks from Electabuzz.


In ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Pokédex]] mentions that the length a {{p|Donphan}}'s tusks indicates its level, allowing Brock to deduce that the short-tusked Donphan they encountered was a young and low-level one.

[[Dawn's Piplup]] also shows that the anime does not strictly follow the games' system. In its debut episode, it used {{m|Bide}}, a move Piplup normally does not learn until level 18, by which point it would be showing signs of evolution (which did not happen until ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]''). Therefore, level up moves can generally be learned at any time in the anime.

However, when [[Ash's Staraptor]] evolved into its final state in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', it immediately learned [[Close Combat (move)|Close Combat]], just like it would in the game if it evolved at level 34. Therefore, level up moves can generally be learned at any time in the anime.


In the [[SS019|two Mystery]] [[SS020|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.
