How to Upgrade Items in Pokemon GO
Upgrade is one of the most prized items in Pokemon GO. It lets trainers transform Porygon into Porygon2 and also gives them a chance to progress in their Pokedex.
While this item is quite rare, players can find it by spinning the photo disc at a Pokestop, or as a reward at special occasions. But what exactly does this item actually do?
Components
Upgrade components are things that can be slotted into weapons, trinkets, or gathering tools to give an additional bonus or effect when the item is used. They are a crucial component in the crafting process. They can be gathered by salvaging or buying from vendors. You can also find them as drops, either from enemies or item spheres. They can be used to upgrade any weapon or armor with an upgrade slot.
Utilizing upgrade components to maximize the experience gained when upgrading gear and weapons is key to achieving the highest degree of progression in the game. Incorporating organic components into an upgraded item will increase the multiplier of experience, whereas mechanical components will decrease its. The best combination is a high experience-multiplier organic component followed by a low-experience-multiplier mechanical component. This will increase your experience and enable you to move up the levels of equipment or weapon a lot easier to achieve.
The upgrade system is a bit complicated, and it's important to know how it works in order to get the most out of your upgrades. The system keeps a daily total for the item you're upgrading. Each component has an multiplier of experience that can be negative or positive. When the total reaches a certain threshold, it is reset to zero.
The amount of experience gained from every upgrade component can be influenced by the item's hidden rank as well as its multiplier of experience. The higher-ranked items will be more difficult to upgrade, while lower-ranked items are simpler to acquire.
It is important to remove all connections and fasteners that hold the old component. Save these for later in an inventory tray for easy identification and safe-keeping. After the new hardware has been installed, reconnect any wires or cables, and connect the power supply to electrical power. Test the computer by turning it on. If everything is connected correctly, the computer should boot up normally. This is a crucial step to ensure that the new hardware is compatible with your current systems and will operate seamlessly.
Glyphs
Glyphs can be a fantastic tool to make your gear better, but you need to know how to use them correctly. Each glyph can be used to enhance a substat, and the higher the rank of a Glyph the more powerful it is. Choose wisely since you can only upgrade glyphs once. Glyphs can also be used only once and disappear after you use them on an item or artifact.
The most effective glyphs are the ones that increase the chance to roll an affix that is of the desired type or tier. These are usually found on the top weapons or armor and other accessories. They are also available on the Paragon Board and are usually worth the effort, however they can be hard to get.
You can find Glyphs in the Black Lion Chests or purchase them at the Trading Post. Certain glyphs are only used once, while others will remain in their original position. The latter are great for items that must be rerolled often. The Glyph of Hope allows you to increase your chances of getting a specific affix by making an item appear magical.
Certain glyphs can also be used to change existing affixes. This is most common on gloves, boots and belts, all capable of hosting four different affixes. The Glyph of Insight for example transforms a prefix into an experimental affix. This is a great tool if you are looking for an affix that is of high-quality in a certain slot or you wish to maximize the damage output.
Once you reach 50, the game shifts drastically. You'll no longer be able depend on the campaign. Instead, you will have to navigate the Paragon Board, Nightmare Dungeons and grinds that are new to optimize your build.
The most effective glyphs are ones that are compatible with your character's type for example, the Exploit Glyph, which increases damage to vulnerable enemies. Other useful glyphs include the Control Glyph, which boosts damage to enemies that are stunned, frozen or slow. Each glyph has its own radius which grows as it is upgraded. This makes glyphs an excellent option to upgrade your gear later in the game.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens are an upgrade item upgrader that allows players to alter one of the attributes of an item. You can do this in the item's window by selecting an item, and then clicking an orange button with the arrows that circle. The cost of an reroll is determined based on the rarity of the item.
Reroll tokens are available in the Mystery Box or as rare drops from skulled monsters. They can be purchased from the Trader. They are also obtained through Event Items and may be gifted from other players. They can be used for rerolling weapons, armors and rings in increments of 2. Each token that is rerolling gives players the chance to reroll an attribute that can be higher or lower than the previous roll.
The reroll token is not just used to upgrade the reroll however, it can also be recycled to recycle items. The rarity of the item determines the number of points players will earn by recycling it. This is a great way to get rid of old equipment that hasn't been upgraded.
The rerolling token can be used to provide the player a new weapon characteristic. These are displayed to the player, who has the option to choose whether to accept them or not. The player is able to provide a total of six items at a time and the number of options increases as the item's value and rarity increase. This option is accessible via the Upgrade tab on the forge.
A reroll token can also be used to roll the set bonus of an item. It is triggered when three or more items from the same set are fitted on an item upgrader. The set bonus can only be applied to units that belong to the same class. It is not applicable to other classes.
Other upgrade items, such recipes, can also be Rerolled. These items aren't sold in the shops or through rerolls, but are transferred to the non-droppable Pool when players choose the Food Card that requires new ingredients or equipment. Reroll tokens can be used to reroll extra bonuses associated with these items however, the basic stats and levels (including any upgrades) remain the same.
Leveling

In the upper-left corner an icon in blue will appear when the item has been upgraded. The item will also display a number that is below its maximum level. The maximum level of the item will increase if there are more upgrades. A player can upgrade items in as many instances as they like. This will allow them to reach gear breakpoints which will increase the chances of rerolling certain attachments.
Item upgrading provides players with the ability to upgrade the level of weapons, helms, and armor. This process requires items, which are exchanged at the upgrader NPC to exchange them for currency. The upgrader will show an image of the item's new status and accept either Happy Tickets or Happy Stars to complete the upgrade. The item used for materials will be gone. However the upgraded item level upgrade will be able to keep Item EXP to upgrade it further.
There is no way of ensuring that an Upgrade will appear however it has an extremely low chance of appearing when spinning Pokestops or Gyms. Players can also use an upgrade on a Porygon to transform it into the form of a Porygon2, which will consume the item.
