How to level up your Pokemon fast

Leveling up in Pokemon Unite is fairly simple and occurs naturally throughout each battle. Players' Pokemon always start off in their first evolution at Level 1. Though everyone will generally level up at the same pace, there are a few tricks you can use to level up even faster. Don't stay idle and you should be evolving your Pokemon in no time.

Defeat wild Pokemon

Wild Pokemon are easy to defeat and they are plentiful. While they won't reward the most experience, it's certainly a good farming method to level up fast, especially in the early game. They won't put up as much of a fight as another trainer's Pokemon and you won't have to worry about constantly being defeated.

Defeat other trainers

Defeating other trainers is much harder, but the risk is worth the reward. Not only do you earn a good amount of experience, but this also leaves their bases vulnerable so that you can score points with the Aeos Energy you've collected. You'll be able to tell a trainer's Pokemon from a wild Pokemon by their larger health bar and name.

Score points

No matter how many Pokemon you defeat, the real challenge of Pokemon Unite is scoring points. This is how you'll win a match, and it's also how you can gain experience to level up. By knocking out opposing Pokemon, you can collect Aeos Energy. Deposit it in an enemy's goal and you'll earn experience while getting your team one step closer to victory. Should you be hit by another Pokemon while you're trying to score, this will interrupt the process.

Get the last hit on Pokemon

Pokemon Unite is a team game, and that means your teammates may be attacking the same Pokemon as you. This gives you a huge advantage in a fight, but it also means you may not earn as much experience as you had hoped. The trainer who delivers the "killing blow," so to speak, and gets the last hit on a Pokemon will earn the most experience in that fight. Obviously, if you're taking on a Pokemon by yourself, you'll earn the maximum amount of experience.

Use an EXP Share

Though it acts a little differently than its mainline counterpart, the EXP Share is all about boosting your experience. As a held item, holding it can grant you additional experience in a match, making it much quicker to level up your Pokemon. Players can purchase the EXP Share in the game's item shop.

How to level up your trainer

Your Trainer Level in Pokemon Unite is completely separate from your Pokemon's level in a match. You increase your Trainer Level by winning matches and earning Battle Points. There are ways to track this experience.

Win battles

There are three types of matches in Pokemon Unite: Quick Battles (unlocked at Trainer Level 8), Standard Battles, and Ranked Battles (requires at least five Unite licenses). Quick Battles reward the least amount of Battle Points while Ranked rewards the most, with Standard Battles coming up in between. Losing any of these will still reward you with Battle Points, but winning nets you a lot more.

During the screen where you select your Pokemon, you'll also want to take note of Beginner Bonus mark, displaying a little arrow in the lower righthand corner of the card. Using a Pokemon with this symbol will earn you extra Battle Points in a match.
