Pokémon Go Leak Reveals XP and Level Up Tasks Needed for Game's New Level 80 Cap — And Some Fans Are Saying it's Too Easy

Pokémon Go has recently raised its level cap to 80, and the new requirements have been leaked. According to the leaks, the XP needed to reach level 80 is significantly lower than expected, and some extra tasks required for level-ups are considered relatively easy by a section of the game's fanbase. The leaked information suggests that the total XP required to reach level 80 is around 234 million, which is significantly less than the previous cap of level 40, which required 20 million XP. Additionally, some of the new level-up tasks, such as earning a certain number of Pokémon candies or completing a specific number of raids, have been deemed too straightforward by some players. While the new level cap and its requirements aim to provide a fresh challenge for dedicated Pokémon Go players, the perceived ease of the tasks has led to mixed reactions from the community, with some feeling that the grind has become too lenient.
