Pokemon GO trainers can attain 69,360 XP from a single catch during the Ultra Unlock: Better Together event. However, this is no cakewalk and depends on some important factors.

Let's break down the XP first for easier understanding:

  • Pokemon Caught: 800 XP
  • First catch of the day: 12,000 XP
  • Streak Bonus: 48,000 XP
  • Excellent Throw: 8,000 XP
  • Curveball: 160 XP
  • First Throw: 400 XP

These XP values are already 4x boosted because of the Better Together bonus, but other conditions need to be met as well. Firstly, you need to activate a Lucky Egg which will boost your XP further. This is the most important factor, as you will not receive this much XP without it.
