There are multiple stages to work through in this XP Challenge, with each step offering greater rewards including encounters with the likes of Cranidos, Togetic, Shedinja, and Goomy, so it’s worth taking the time to finish it.
Below, you’ll find out how to complete the XP Challenge, as well as all of the rewards on offer for working your way through this limited-time quest.

How to unlock the Pokemon Go XP Challenge
Players will need to purchase a ticket for the Pokemon Go Tour: Johto event before Monday, January 10, 2022, to unlock the XP Challenge. Tickets cost $11.99 / £9.99 from the in-game Shop.
By pre-purchasing a Tour: Johto ticket, you’ll also get access to February’s Catch Challenge – and, of course, the Tour: Johto event on February 26, 2022.
How to complete the Pokemon Go XP Challenge
Earning all of that XP is going to take you quite a while, but there are more than a few ways to speed up the process and get that Goomy Hat firmly on your Avatar’s head in no time at all.
Here’s how to earn more XP fast in Pokemon Go:
- Catch as many Pokemon as you can, especially species you haven’t caught before.
- Make sure you’re landing Curve Balls and Excellent Throws.
- Evolve any cheap Pokemon you have lying around in your Pokemon Storage.
- Spin PokeStops and Gyms, especially ones you haven’t visited before.
- Send as many Gifts to Friends as you can, and open the ones you receive back.
- Try and reach Best Friend status with another Trainer, as that rewards loads of XP.
- Beat any Gym Defenders or Raid Bosses you see while out walking.
If you’re looking to grind XP, now is the perfect time to use any spare Lucky Eggs you have lying around (or purchase them from the Shop), as they’ll double the amount of XP you’ll earn for 30 minutes.
You’ll also earn double XP for every ‘first catch of the day’ you get throughout January, so make sure you log in and catch at least one Pokemon every day to make the most of this limited-time bonus.
