In December 2020, the [https://pokemongolive.com/post/gobeyond-level40/ level cap was increased from 40 to 50]. '''Candy XL''' was introduced as a requirement for powering up Pokémon beyond level 40, taking the place of standard Candy. Players can start acquiring Candy XL after reaching level 40. | |||
Candy XL can be obtained randomly from most normal Candy-yielding activities: | |||
* Catching a Pokémon can potentially yield 0 to 3 Candy XL. The odds of receiving more Candy XL increases with the caught Pokémon's level. | |||
** [[Pinap Berry|Pinap Berries]] do not appear to affect the amount of Candy XL rewarded. | |||
* Hatching an Egg may yield a several Candy XL. | |||
* Transferring a Pokémon may yield one Candy XL. | |||
* Trading away a Pokémon may yield one Candy XL. | |||
Players may also convert 100 regular Candy into one Candy XL. | |||
