What Does Powering Up Do in Pokemon GO?

Last updated
Ever wondered what happens when you power up your Pokémon in Pokémon GO? Let’s dive into it!
Powering up your Pokémon in Pokémon GO means you’re making them stronger and more ready for battle. But what exactly does that entail?
Boosting Your Pokémon’s Stats
When you power up a Pokémon, you’re essentially giving them a boost in their CP (Combat Power) and HP (Health Points). This makes them tougher and more capable in battles against other trainers, defending gyms, and standing their ground in raids.
CP represents the overall strength and power of your Pokémon, combining their attack, defense, and stamina. By increasing CP, your Pokémon can deal more damage and take hits better. HP, on the other hand, is all about how much damage your Pokémon can take before fainting. More HP means they can stay in the fight longer.
Turning Your Pokémon into Champions with Power-Ups
To power up your Pokémon, you’ll need two things: Stardust and Candy, specific to the Pokémon you’re powering up. These resources can be collected by catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, and completing certain tasks in the game. Regularly powering up your Pokémon is crucial if you aim to conquer gyms and win raids.
Remember, while powering up your Pokémon can make them stronger, it’s also important to consider their movesets and type advantages in battles. A well-rounded strategy is key to becoming a Pokémon GO champion!
