The climb to level 80 continues for us in _Pokemon Go_. My wife and I made it to level 75 back in mid-March and, two months later, we find ourselves landing at level 76. [](https://tagn.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pg75_levelup.png) Level 75 achieved To get to level 75 the tasks were the main barrier. The requirements were: * Earn 34 Platinum medals * Hatch 75 Eggs * Make 999 Great Throws * Send 500 Gifts to friends And of those, the 999 great throws turned out to be the gating task. We were both done with the other three tasks before we had even made it half way through the great throws. But, aside from the platinum medals, those were pretty much things you could do by just playing the game. Catch enough pokemon and you're going to get to that many great throws. Also, it helps to have around 280 people on your friends lists for sending gifts, while the egg hatching... we now get a daily 1km egg, which made 75 eggs pretty easy to hatch. So we arrived.
