The power of friendship isn’t enough to become the very best Sujimon Master in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. You’ll need to make your Sujimon physically stronger, too. This guide will go over how to level up your Sujimon.
What are Sujimon in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
Sujimon are Infinite Wealth’s human Pokemon, and function similarly to the source material they’re inspired by. You collect Sujimon, train them, level them up, evolve them, and battle them against Gyms and other Sujimon Trainers. In short, Sujimon is a Pokemon parody of the highest caliber, with robust gameplay mechanics to complement it.
You’ll first learn about Sujimon from the Sujimon Sensei near the beginning of Infinite Wealth, but you won’t start collecting and battling them until you reach a certain point in the story. As you near District Five and the Anaconda Mall in Hawaii, you’ll have the opportunity to reunite with the Sujimon Sensei, and he’ll tell you all about the hidden underground world of Sujimon fighting.
Of course, one of the most important things to learn about Sujimon after you start collecting them is how to level them.
How to Increase Your Sujimon’s Levels in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
There are two ways to increase your Sujimon’s levels: winning in battle and feeding them Sujimunch shakes. If you’re starting with a fresh Level 1 Sujimon, it may be difficult to level them in battle, making Sujimunch shakes your best option. Once your Sujimon are in the 30’s, however, battles generally become a better source of experience.
How to Feed Your Sujimon a Sujimunch Shake
You can only feed your Sujimon Sujimunch shakes at a Suji Spot. To feed your Sujimon a shake:
- Find a Suji Spot and open the Suji Spot Menu.
- Select “Strengthen Sujimon.”
- Select the Sujimon you’d like to power up.
- Select up to 10 Sujimunch ingredients to blend together.
- Once you’ve decided what ingredients you’d like to blend, select “Enhance.”
Different types of Sujimunch ingredients give different amounts of experience points. Check the right side of the screen to see what level your Sujimon will become with the shake you’ve concocted before hitting “Enhance” so you don’t accidentally go above their level cap and waste your Sujimunch. Your Sujimon’s max level is determined by the gym badges you’ve collected from the Discreet Four, and you’ll need to earn more badges to increase your Sujimon’s max level and train them further.
The following table lists the different kinds of Sujimunch and how much experience they each grant.
| Sujimunch Type | EXP Amount |
| Sujimunch | 8 EXP |
| Super Sujimunch | 44 EXP |
| Hyper Sujimunch | 168 EXP |
| Extreme Sujimunch | 1160 EXP |
| Ultimate Sujimunch | 10280 EXP |
What Are Huge Gains?
“Huge gains” is the percent chance that your Sujimon will get a 1.5x extra experience bonus from their shake. Each type of Sujimunch ingredient adds 10% to the chance of huge gains the first time it’s added. You can get a max of 50% chance of huge gains if you use at least one of each type of Sujimunch ingredient in a shake. This will be important once your Sujimon reach Level 30 and above; at that point, Sujimunch shakes won’t increase their levels as quickly, making the huge gains bonus that much more valuable.
How to Buy Sujimunch
You can buy Sujimunch to make shakes from Suji Spots.
- Find a Suji Spot and open the Suji Spot Menu.
- Select “Sujigami PC Shop.”
You won’t have access to each type of Sujimunch right away. You will unlock the different types of Sujimunch in the shop as you obtain the gym badges from the Discreet Four and increase your Trainer Rank.
The following table lists the different kinds of Sujimunch and how much they cost in the shop.
| Sujimunch Type | Cost |
| Sujimunch | $5 each |
| Super Sujimunch | $21 each |
You can also exchange Stadium Points for Sujimuch. The following table lists the different kinds of Sujimunch and how many Stadium Points they cost in the Stadium Points Exchange.
| Sujimunch Type | Cost |
| Sujimunch | 50 points each |
| Super Sujimunch | 200 points each |
| Hyper Sujimunch | 800 points each |
| Extreme Sujimunch | 2000 points each |
How to Find Suji Spots Around Honolulu
Unfortunately, Suji Spots are not marked on the map. They are generally near Sujimon Trainers, however, which are marked on the map.
Suji Spots come in various forms, from parking meters to laptops. On the overworld, Suji Spots are indicated with an icon of a shield with the letter “S” in it. Suji Spots will give you a random Sujimon-related item when you interact with it the first time; the glow that indicates you can obtain an item helps the Suji Spots stand out.
Gaining Experience Through Sujimon Battles
Finding Sujimon Trainers on the Map
Sujimon Trainers are marked with red shield icons with the letter “S” on them on the map. Hovering your cursor over or near the icon will display the Trainer’s rank.
You can battle these Trainers to gain a lot of experience for your party’s Sujimon as well as to increase your Trainer Rank. You need to increase your Trainer Rank to be able to battle the Discreet Four and earn the gym badges to progress in the Sujimon substory and increase your Sujimon’s level cap.
While on the map, you can press the right stick to toggle the map icons until only Sujimon-related icons appear. This includes Trainers and Raids.
Sujimon Sparring
Sparring is another way to battle to gain experience for your Sujimon. To spar:
- Find a Suji Spot and open the Suji Spot Menu.
- Select “Sparring.”
- Choose the Rank of your opponent.
Sparring is a convenient way to earn experience for your party’s Sujimon, but these battles won’t count towards increasing your Trainer Rank.
How to Increase the Sujimon’s Level Cap in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
When you first start your Sujimon journey, your Sujimon will all have a level cap of 10. To increase their level cap, you’ll need to defeat the Discreet Four and earn badges. Your Sujimon’s level cap will increase with each badge you earn.
The following table lists all the badges and the level cap they unlock for your Sujimon.
| Badge Name | Level Cap Unlocked |
| Hotel Badge | Level 20 |
| Resort Badge | Level 30 |
| Dojo Badge | Level 40 |
| Underground Badge | Level 50 |
| Stadium Badge | Level Max |
