O-Powers are bonuses that you can give another player or use it on yourself, similar to Pokemon Black and White. These powers give various bonuses ranging from increased stats, experience points, money or even boosting the hatching speed or encounter rate. The effects last for three minutes however, you can make them more powerful and efficient by increasing their levels up to LV3. You can increase the levels by regularly using the powers or giving them to other players. The exception are the Encounter or Stealth powers. They don't have any levels and you can't give them to other players as well.
You spend energy points to use an O-Power which can be replenished over time. The rate on how the energy point is recovered depends on the number of steps you made in a day.
O-Power Recovery Rate Multiplier
x1: 0-1999 steps
x2: 2000-2999
x3: 3000-3999
x4: 4000 above
You can get new O-Powers by talking to Mr. Bonding. He usually hangs out in different hotels or Pokemon Centers.
