level 39 pokemon

Reached level 37 recently, and can now power things up to level 38.5. So when i next level up i can only power them up once more and that's it.

Why do they only let you power up to 39, why not 40? And what's the point of even reaching 40 in that case?

I fear i'm at the endgame.

Seems to be a bug of some sort because it's possible to power up Pokemon to level 40 by logging into multiple devices with the same account, or using airplane mode apparently works, by turning it on and then powering 3 times, and then turning it back off.

Not sure if it's bannable but I wouldn't risk it for an extra ~50 CP or something, even if it was a damage breakpoint. If you're considering powering up to 40 then keep your Pokemon at 38.5 tops.

But for the airplane mode you still need three phones, right? Or can you really do it with one phone by the method you described?

I guess no. What the point of using airplane mode if you already using 3 phones?

Well as I read it you switch on the airplane mode on two devices, then you power up your mon on the phone without airplane mode, and after that you can switch off the airplane mode and quickly power up on phone number 2. And then again on phone number 3.

The alternative without airplane mode would be pressing all 3 powerup buttons simultaneously.
But in both cases you need three phones.

And I only have two, I'm 500k exp away from level 38, so I'm really considering to acquire a third phone. But I wouldn't need it if it's possible with one phone (or two). So I'm very interested if someone really did it...?!

Once again, ask Niantic (not GamePress)! ;)

I'm not sure there is anything in the PMG terms of service about 1 person logging into thier account on multiple devices.

A buddy if mine unintentionally did that. He has left his phone at home and a Snorlax spawned during one of our meet ups. Logically, he asked some us to let him log in. He got shadowbanned after that for more than a week.

Well that might just be the game registering he's in Place X and then Y at same time. And he got shadowbanned for Spoofing.

If the devices were together, I don't think it is listed as illegal in the TOS
