Many of you probably saw Reversal’s Tweet about the guy who caught only one pokemon and spun a crap load of pokestops to get to lvl 40 in less than 5 days. Here we can discuss the possibilities of ways he used to do it (spoofing, Go+) as well as math to figure out how much $$ he spent on lucky eggs

I’ll take a guess.
It most likely was during a Double XP or Triple XP event.
A heap of $$$ would have been put on the account to increase bag storage and possibly Pokémon Storage, buy Lucky Eggs and Incubators
Spoofing would have played a part to keep moving and spinning new Stops.
Lucky Egg would have been running every minute and 9 Incubators running all the time.
If a Go Plus or Gotcha was used it must have been set to Stops only as in the original post it’s stats only caught one Pokémon.
This gets me to Raids which is an easy source of XP under Lucky Egg but there’s one problem in that if the person wasn’t catching Pokémon they would have nothing to battle with so Raid has to be excluded.
In summary
Spent Dollars
Increased storage
Loaded up on Lucky Eggs
9 Incubators running
Lucky Egg running all the time.
Evolve egg hatches when possible.
GPS Spoofing to spin new Pokestops most of the time.
Some Raids maybe once enough Pokémon had hatched from eggs.

Some of those things yes but he didnt do any raids if I remember right and it was only spinning stops during this event. Plus I think he did it with just driving to a total of 7 high population cities.

It was entirely spinning new pokestops, the guy had one pokemon caught

What is the point of doing that? I’ve almost played 2 years and I’m still only Level 38. But I enjoy the game.

I think the question was asked in the OP from the point of view how it could be done without having seen the vid of how it was done.
Personally I couldn’t care how it was really done and there was no way I was going to waste my time looking for a vid on it.
May as well shut this thread done if everyone’s going to watch the video as there’s nothing to discuss apart from why bother doing that?

to discuss the why instead of how?
i personally think it’s an awesome achievement to have the crappiest TL40 account + world record fastest TL40

I think you need to re read the question asked in the OP.
I’ll give you a hint, the word HOW gives it away.
Not Really…Remember, he only has one pokemon caught…the starter. He got all of his xp from spinning stops with lucky eggs on. Also remember that you get 2100xp per unspun stop. Lucky egg that and boom.

The problem is that the number of stops he visited, 4387, times 4200 for each new stop is only 18,425,400, is he trying to say his first Pokémon was worth 1.5 million experience?

Lamest thing i heard about Pokemon Go. Why even do this who knows. If he caught mons i would of been impressed but just stops sounds like a Bot.

According to reversal, every 10th new pokestop gives 4x xp as well. So he got about 430 ish stops at 16x xp…which is 33600 xp per spin. Times 430, that equals about 1.4 million xp…almost the amount he is “missing”

Don’t forget !
It’s 2100 (normal XP for new stop during event) + 5000 (normal bonus XP for 7 day streaks).
That’s 14200 XP per first day streak with a lucky egg on at a new stop.

Wasn’t he driving though? Still,no matter how he did it I’m just going to keep plodding on; I’ve been playing from day 1 apart from a break for a few months once when it got a bit boring and I’m on level 35. I’m hoping to get to level 40 by the end of the year though.

But how?! I’ve spun much more than he, and I’m not even 35…
But if it works like that, I’m going to try that😋

They really have to be unspun stops for you to really load up

REMEMBER: He did this in less than 5 days, so HE ONLY GOT 4 STREAKS(4000xp)

It was so easy and achievable with a little to no planning. Inspired by this guy I went to 3 different towns/cities and done 1.2mil xp in less than 6h
