The Level 80 update in Pokémon GO was released starting October 15, 2025. The rollout began around 12 AM Pacific Time (Los Angeles) on that day, though there was some variation in exact timing by region with the update appearing globally around that time. The update increases the trainer level cap from 50 to 80, introduces rebalanced XP requirements, new tasks for levels 71 to 80, and includes additional rewards like increased storage and new avatar items.

The update did not arrive precisely at midnight local time for all regions; it was instead tied to a global Pacific Time release schedule. Some players reported delays, with the update appearing a few hours later in certain time zones.

In summary, trainers worldwide could begin leveling past 50 up to 80 starting October 15, 2025, from around midnight Pacific Time as the update rolled out globally.
