How to Upgrade to 50, All Tasks, Rewards, and XP Requirements
We don't have all the requirements yet, but will update this list as they arrive (this test is currently underway in Australia only). Below are all the tasks players need to complete to get from 40 to 50. Some tasks will count previous achievements, like the Pokemon you caught, while others will not. If you want to manage these, try saving tasks after you have them available, rather than completing them before reaching that particular level. Some tasks, rewards, and XP requirements have yet to be discovered. So we'll update this guide as we find them. For those we don't know, we've included Niantic's ambient text, which gives a good idea of what you'll need to do.
