If you haven’t noticed, Pokemon GO has an intriguing experience system. At first, you gain levels at lightning speeds. Your first twenty levels seem to just fly by. After that, though, things really start to slow down. It’s more than noticeable. After 20, it doesn’t take long to feel like you’re not even moving at all.

That’s entirely by design. Games like Pokemon GO are made to initially hook players by making quick progress at the start. Then, they keep you around for a long time by slowing your progress later on. This whole system does bring up one question, though. Exactly how long would it take to reach the level cap of 40 in Pokemon GO?

Other than “very very long”

There’s good news here. There’s a tool for that exact thing. The team over at PokemonGOHub.net have compiled a neat tool to help calculate how long level 40 will take you. It takes current experience and how long you’ve been playing into consideration. So if you’ve ever been curious about it, now you can know for sure.
