# Gaining XP

Leveling up your Pokémon will increase its stats and in some cases cause your Pokémon to evolve, and to do this you need to gain XP.\
\
There are currently two ways to gain XP in Pokébest, chatting or by using the bot.\
\
When in a Discord server with our Pokébest bot, simply chatting with someone in a channel will gradually gain XP for your currently selected Pokémon.
