For many starting Pokemon Go players, when catching Pokemon like Pidgey, Caterpie, and Weedle, due to their low combat stats, they often sell or trade them immediately. This is a serious mistake if you want to increase your experience points while playing Pokemon Go on iPhone or Android.
Ways to increase experience points while playing Pokemon Go:
Successfully evolving a Pokemon usually rewards you with 500 experience points. In comparison, Pokemon like Pidgey, Caterpie, and Weedle only require 12 candies (Candy) for evolution, a relatively low number. If you didn't know, the closest Pokemon, Rattata, demands a staggering 25 candies for evolution.
Apart from the mentioned Pokemon, almost all other Pokemon typically need 50 candies or more for evolution. When aiming to evolve them further, you'll need to double the initial candy count, meaning you'll need over 100 candies to evolve those Pokemon once again.
Not to mention the case of Pokemon Magikarp, which requires a whopping 400 candies for evolution.
As mentioned earlier, with each evolution, the Pokemon upgrade grants you 500 experience points. Therefore, to earn experience quickly and maximally, evolving and upgrading Pokemon is one of the most effective ways. You should save your Pokemon, especially the three Pokemon Pidgey, Caterpie, and Weedle, as when you receive a Lucky Egg - an item that doubles experience gains for 30 minutes.
Now you know why it's crucial to reserve Pokemon like Pidgey, Caterpie, and Weedle. When using a Lucky Egg along with successfully evolving 4 to 5 Pokemon, you'll receive an impressive 4000 - 5000 experience points. Quite an impressive number, isn't it?
