Underleveled Pokémon: Difference between revisions
→Underleveled Pokémon from Pokémon GO: Galarian Birds can be as low as 1, my sister caught one like it within the first week. Also, Ultra Beasts can be level 15, not 20. I have a level 15 Buzzwole and Guzzlord from timed research.
(Adding some details about low-level Pokémon in GO. Not going into too many specifics though, as the exact Pokémon obtainable at low levels (and the minimum level) is changing as new Pokémon and events are released.) |

Due to the way levels and evolution work in [[Pokémon GO]], most Pokémon in the game can be obtained at levels as low as level 1, which can then be transferred to {{g|HOME}}. In Pokémon GO, a Pokémon's starting [[power up]] level is affected by how it is obtained, with some methods allowing extremely low levels. Pokémon can be evolved without ever powering them up, so if a Pokémon can be obtained at a particular level in GO, so can all of its evolved forms (that it can evolve into in Pokémon GO). | Due to the way levels and evolution work in [[Pokémon GO]], most Pokémon in the game can be obtained at levels as low as level 1, which can then be transferred to {{g|HOME}}.

Any Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild can be encountered at levels between 1 and 35 (with the maximum depending on the player's [[Trainer level]] and the weather). While [[Legendary Pokémon]] usually cannot be encountered in the wild (usually being exclusive to Raids, {{OBP|Research|GO}} rewards, or [[Team GO Rocket]] Boss [[Giovanni]]), some have been made available in the wild—in particular, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} during 2019; {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} during {{DL|Ticketed event (GO)|Pokémon GO Tour: Johto}} | Any Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild can be encountered at levels between 1 and 35 (with the maximum depending on the player's [[Trainer level]] and the weather).

When a Pokémon is [[Trade (GO)|traded]], its level is capped at its new Trainer's level + 2. Since trading is unlocked at Trainer level 10, this means that all tradeable Pokémon in GO can be as low as level 12 after trading. Most Pokémon can be traded, except [[Mythical Pokémon]] (other than {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) and [[Shadow Pokémon]] (which cannot be transferred to HOME until after being purified, which changes their level). | When a Pokémon is [[Trade (GO)|traded]], its level is capped at its new Trainer's level + 2.
