To become as powerful as possible in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, you'll need to reach level 250 – a pretty high number, considering most players won't even reach level 100 for very long. Once you've defeated Buu, there's a lengthy post-game quest to take on the deadliest enemies in the open world. New “villainous” enemies with glowing auras will appear on each map, and your goal is to defeat them. They are very high level, and there is a super secret boss waiting at the end.
It's a worthwhile quest, and if you want to get the most XP you can, you'll need to come prepared. Reaching level 250 isn't really a milestone or anything - it's just a fancy number to aim for. The real goal is to push your level as high as possible in order to defeat the secret boss and complete all remaining challenges. You will need to eat well and rank up your community boards for the most benefit.

How to earn XP faster and reach level 250
Before we start, it's probably worth saying that you don't need to grind for XP in the main story. Completing Story Battles will net you tons of XP – you'll basically stay at the level you need. If you're struggling with fights, you'll want to buy healing items, or play with the community board, or complete training missions.
- NOTE: Don't forget to equip know-how and dump skill points into your abilities! Other than that, grinding for XP is really not necessary.
Grinding is useless until post-game, where you'll need all the XP you can get.
Post-Match XP Grinding Tips
At the end of the game, you will want to fight nasty enemies to reach the highest levels, but there are ways to increase your XP gains while hunting down nasty enemies.
- Improve the Formation of the community council to the maximum level for +100% Battle XP. That's double XP!
- Eat the Super Deluxe Meat Course meals for a temporary XP boost that you will earn. Eat before you face nasty enemies!
- Delete all Wicked enemies on each card. After clearing enemies, much tougher variations will respawn – clear them again and even tougher variations will spawn.
It's quite simple. Give gifts to improve your community board and aim to increase the formation board to the maximum level. After that, you'll want to eat Super Deluxe Meat Course Recipes to increase the amount of XP you earn in battle.
Finally, you'll want to track down the nasty enemies - they glow red - on each map. Defeat them all and more will respawn at higher levels. You can keep repeating this, fighting tougher and tougher enemies, until you reach max level.
