At level 40 you get a whole lot of hyperballs, max potions, revives, razzberies, and four of each extra items- incense, lucky eggs, incubators and lure modules. Which is to say that Pokemon Go player Luca, Reddit name _problemz, has hit the level cap of 40. The Master Ball is indeed available in the source code of the game and presumed to be essential for capturing some of the Legendary Pokemon including Mew and Mew Two in the game, but it still hasn’t been located yet.
This news also answers the question of the Master Ball, which some fans had speculated would be given out at Level 40. He said he used 131 lucky eggs, buying five 25 packs and getting six from leveling. he started playing when the game launched in Germany on July 13.
So far, only one player has reportedly reached Level 40 and they did it with the help of an automated bot in order to test the game’s capabilities. However, later in the thread, he acknowledged using a bot, and has asked Niantic to delete his account.
Niantic has promised that there are more secrets and Easter eggs hidden in Pokemon GO, but apparently none of them are hidden behind the level cap.

Reaching Level 40 takes an accumulated total of 20 million XP, and 5 million of that is used just to climb from Level 30 to Level 40. It seems likely that more world events and special Pokemon are on the way, so hopefully that motivation will keep the community engaged.
