While Pokémon Go trainers thought they had seen it all, one player caused a stir when he claimed to have reached level 30 without catching any Pokémon.
When Pokémon Go debuted in 2016, gamers around the world were immediately hooked by this augmented reality mobile game that allowed them to fulfill a childhood dream of going on a real-life adventure to capture Pokémon and try to become the best trainer.
However, the goal is not the same for everyone. While most Pokémon Go players dream of capturing only as many Pokémon as possible to complete their Pokédex, for others the goal is slightly different.
For fun, some focus on a particular Type, others only aim for a certain rarity and still others simply prefer not to go through the capture box.
Even today Pokémon Go continues to seduce the crowds.
Going without capturing to level up is an amazing feat in Pokémon Go. although it may take months or even years to reach level 30.
Trainer reaches level 30 without catching Pokemon
Trainer notAKawaiiCatGirl caused a stir on Reddit when he shared his feat, “Today I hit level 30, only having grabbed my starter and only adding friends I actually know IRL.”
The post contained screenshots showing that he had reached level 30 as well as proof that he had only caught his starter. His statistics also indicate that he started this atypical adventure on October 30, 2021.
Incredible, but true notAKawaiiCatGirl therefore managed to reach level 30 without catching any Pokémon in addition to the starter, and this in 6 months. How did he accomplish such a feat?
According to the words of the trainer, he earned every experience point thanks to Pokéstops, arenas, eggs, gifts and evolutions. Indeed, although he did not make a capture, he was still able to obtain new Pokémon with eggs, and this is also how he was able to obtain candies to make them evolve.
If many Internet users were surprised that such constraints were imposed on themselves just to “the challenge”most were full of praise for his prowess.
