Pokemon-go – What are all the sources of XP

pokemon-go

As the title suggests, what are all the possible sources of XP on PokemonGo? I just manually evolved a Kakuna into a Beedril last night, and got 1000 XP for that, which has never happened to me before. Obviously there could still be other sources that I do not know about.

So, what are all possible ways to get XP?

  • Win a fight with a pokemon at at an opposing team's gym: 150 XP

  • Fighting a pokemon at an opposing team's gym: 100 XP

  • Win a fight with a Pokemon at a gym that belongs to your team: 50 XP

  • Capturing Pokemon (100 XP)

  • Adding new Pokemon to your Pokedex, whether seen, caught, or evolved (500 XP)

  • Evolving Pokemon (500 XP)

  • Going to Pokestops (50 XP)

  • Hatching an egg (500 XP for new Pokemon or 200XP for existing)

  • Capturing a Pokemon with a Nice Throw (10 XP bonus) OR

  • Capturing a Pokemon with a Great Throw (50 XP bonus) OR
