Now more than one year into the game’s lifespan players often find it hard to gain the required XP to level up to some of Pokemon GO‘s higher ranks. Going from level 39 to 40 requires an unreasonable 5 million XP, which means that more and more trainers will soon be making use of the game’s new raid battles in order to boost their levelling.

What’s also important to note about the raid battles is that almost any Pokemon GO player can participate in them after Niantic lowered the level requirement. Originally, access to raids was very exclusive, but eventually the doors opened wider and wider. So even low ranking players can take advantage of this “trick,” even if they might not be fully prepared for taking on Pokemon raid bosses.

Competing in a raid battle will provide players with 3000 XP as a standard, but this can be doubled to 6000 when using a Lucky Egg. Previously, Pokemon GO players were disappointed that the useful item didn’t work with gyms but a few observant fans online seem to have discovered that the eggs do in fact double raid battle XP, though they’re a little deceptive about it.
