How to complete the Level 48 Challenge in 'Pokémon GO' explained:
Now with an idea of what is needed to complete the Level 48 Challenge, you can start making strides to finish the research tasks in Pokémon GO. Of course, the easiest of the bunch will be powering up Pokémon, catching them, and spinning the PokéStop in a row.
However, coming out on top of challenging raids and defeating a Team GO Rocket Leader will require a skilled team layout.
We advise building a line-up of Pokémon or filling it out over time with strong members, which naturally will help with meeting other conditions. And while hunting for fresh Pokémon, be mindful of how you throw PokéBalls to fulfill the first two tasks for the Level 48 Challenge.
Regardless, it will take some time before you nail every research task available, but super worth it to earn account experience and resources to grow your team of critters.
