Experience Point (Pokémon GO)

A trainer can receive an amount of Experience Points to gain a level in Pokémon GO, marking their progress.

To level up, the trainer must catch a certain amount of Pokémon to receive Experience Points, XP. The first level requires 1000 XP and every consecutive level requires an equal amount of XP as the previous level + 1000 XP until level 10. After level 10, every next level requires 10000 XP. Each time the trainer levels up, the XP scale is set back to 0. Leveling up allows the trainer to obtain greater merchandise. Any amount of XP can be doubled by using a Lucky Egg.

The trainer can receive an XP from certain actions. These are:
 * Capturing Pokémon: 100 XP; plus bonus the way the Pokémon was captured:
 * Nice: 10 XP
