Experience
Each time your Pokemon defeats an opponent Pokemon, it will gain some
experience (EXP). EXP helps you grow levels and levels help your Pokemon
evolve and learn new moves. All Pokemon need a certain amount of EXP
to reach lvl. 100 and all opponent's give a certain amount of EXP.
EXP Totals
These are the six categories that each Pokemon will fall into when determining
how much EXP they will need to reach lvl. 100.
Erratic - 600,000 EXP
Fast - 800,000 EXP
Medium-Fast - 1,000,000 EXP
Medium-Slow - 1,059,860 EXP
Slow - 1,250,000 EXP
Fluctuating - 1,640,000 EXP
Each of these numbers are arrived at by using specific mathematical
formulas. For those of you interested in these formulas, you can check
them out at Bulbapedia.
For those of you that don't like math or don't care, move on.
EXP Yield
The amount of EXP that a Pokemon will give you all comes from one single
formula:
EXP = ((Base EXP yield x Level of opponent) x Trainer x Wild)/7
In order to figure this out, you need to know the Base EXP that the
Pokemon you're fighting gives. Base EXP is explained below. Level of
the opponent is self-explanatory.
The Trainer value is either 1 (if the Pokemon's Trainer ID matches your
Trainer ID) or 1.5 (if the Pokemon's Trainer ID doesn't match yours,
meaning you got it through a trade).
The Wild value is either 1 (if the opponent is a wild Pokemon) or 1.5
(if the opponent is trained).
Base EXP
All Pokemon have a Base EXP given to them that tells how much EXP you'll
gain when you defeat them.
The Pokemon with the lowest Base EXP yield is poor little Magikarp with
only 20. The ones that have the highest Base EXP yield are Chansey and
Blissey, with 255. So fighting a team of Chanseys or Blisseys will give
you more EXP than fighting any other Pokemon.
Let's see how much EXP a trained Lv. 100 Blissey will give a Pokemon
that you obtained through a trade.
EXP = ((255 x 100) x 1.5 x 1.5)/7 = 8,196.42857
This number rounds to 8,196. That's a lot of EXP! If you can
somehow manage to fight a team of six of those Blisseys, you'll gain
a whopping 49,176 EXP!
There are a couple items that affect Experience - the EXP. Share and the Lucky Egg.
How to get EXP. Share
The EXP. Share is a hold item that the divides the experience between the battler and every team member holding the item. This means a Pokemon holding EXP. Share doesn't have to actually battle and it will still gain EXP.
R/S/E - Match 3 numbers at Lilycove Dpt. Store's lottery, then talk to Mr. Stone in Rustboro City.
FR/LG - Talk to Prof. Oak's aide on Route 15
D/P/Pt - Match 3 numbers at Jubilife TV's lottery, then talk to Prof. Rowan's aide on Route 206
How to get Lucky Egg
This special hold item increases the EXP you gain by 50%. However, it is very rare and only obtainable from wild Chanseys (who only have a 5% chance of holding one).
