Level

Level is a number from 1 to 100 that scales every stat and gates level-up moves and evolutions

In review Under fact check; out of search until accepted.

Stats scale with level in the stat formula, so a level 50 Pokémon carries about half the non-fixed part of each stat it would have at level 100. A Rare Candy raises level by one. Competitive formats commonly set every Pokémon to level 50 for the battle.

Main-series games; introduced in Generation I, Red and Green.
