Everything was easy back when Pokemon Go had only 30 levels, but now the level cap has increased up to 50.
At first, it increased to 40 levels, and back in 2020 as a part of the major Go Beyond update, Trainers got another 10 levels, thus increasing the level cap to 50. And the path to the maximum level has proven to be quite hard.
Unlike the previous levels, to go beyond level 40 you would need a new type of Candy called XL Candy. You would also need to obtain a certain medal type, finish a task in a set amount of time and many other requirements that can become very hard and frustrating.
To make things a little bit easier, we have decided to write down the requirements for levels 41 to 50, including some tips of our own:

The trickiest ones are the power-ups, the evolutions and winning x amount of battles (raid, gym and whatnot).
Now, as for the power-ups, specifically for Legendary Pokemon, the easiest way to do that is to search for the one with the lowest level. Power it up with as few candies as possible because as you are powering the Legendary up, the Candy cost goes up. Once it gets high, move on to the next Legendary.
To win 30 Raids you would need a whole month, but that process could be sped up if you either spend real money or try to earn 50 PokeCoins per day through Gym defense, in which case, the time will be cut to 15 days.
The other tricky requirement is to get all Eeveelutions. You all probably know the name tricks, and many of you already used it, so for those unlucky ones, you need to go the normal and boring way to get all Eeveelutions (through Lures, walking requirements and others).
Have you reached level 50? And for those who haven’t yet, is it hard?
