The Pokemon Go level cap is increasing once again, but this jump is a whole lot larger than what's come before. As of October 15, the level cap will go from 50 to 80, rebalancing the curve for smoother progression, and the devs are making sure that players who've already reached the current cap – or get it done by mid-October – have a little something to show for their efforts.
"On October 15, Pokémon GO will rebalance its leveling system to create smoother progression for all players," as a press release puts it. "This update will let Trainers level up more frequently and receive improved rewards throughout the journey. On the same date, the game’s level cap will increase from 50 to 80, the largest maximum level increase to date in the augmented reality mobile game."
