The Exp. Share is one of the most useful items in the Pokémon series. When you use this item, your Pokémon gets experience points from a battle, even if they weren’t used in the battle. Getting the Exp. Share is different in each Pokémon game, so we’re here to tell you how to get it depending on the game you’re playing. Read on to learn where to find the Exp. Share in Gen 1 through Gen 9!
In Gold/Silver/Crystal, give the Red Scale to Mr. Pokémon. In Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, deliver the letter from Mr. Stone to Steven. In FireRed/LeafGreen, visit Professor Oak's Aide after catching 50 Pokémon. In Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, talk to Professor Rowan’s assistant after seeing 35 Pokémon.
Steps
Section 1 of 13:-
1 Have at least 50 unique Pokémon in your Pokédex. The Exp. Share doesn’t exist in Red, Blue, and Yellow because Pokémon can't hold items in this generation. Instead, you get an Exp. All that you keep in your Bag. To get the Exp. All, you first need to catch 50 Pokémon to register them in your Pokédex. - The Exp. All works slightly different from the Exp. Share. The experience points you win in a battle are shared equally among the Pokémon in your party.[1]
-
2 Talk to Professor Oak's Aide in Fuschia City. Go to the watchtower east of Fuschia City and head up the stairs. Then, talk to Professor Oak's Aide. He’ll confirm that you’ve caught 50 kinds of Pokémon and give you the Exp. All.[2] Advertisement
-
1 Get the Red Scale from the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage. Head north from Mahogany Town along Route 43 until you reach the Lake of Rage. Then, swim to the center of the lake to battle the shiny red Gyarados. Once you catch or defeat it, it drops a Red Scale.[3] - It's a good idea to catch this Pokémon, as it can help you later on in the game and is a great addition to your growing team. Plus, it’s shiny! However, catching it is absolutely optional.
- If you want to catch the red Gyarados, make sure you Save before you battle it. You only have one chance to catch it, because if you defeat it, it won’t come back.
-
2 Give the Red Scale to Mr. Pokémon to get the Exp. Share. Go to Route 30 (between Cherrygrove City and Route 31) and enter Mr. Pokémon’s house. When you talk to him, he will ask you to trade the Red Scale for an Exp. Share. Simply agree to the trade to get the item.[4] - Mr. Pokémon is the man who gave you the Togepi egg.
-
3 Play the lottery at the Goldenrod Radio Tower as an alternative. You can receive another Exp. Share by visiting the Goldenrod Radio Tower in Goldenrod City. If the last 3 or 4 digits of your Trainer ID match the lottery numbers drawn for the week, you win an Exp. Share.[5] Advertisement
-
1 Get the letter from the Devon Co. president, Mr. Stone, in Rustboro City. Enter the Rusturf Tunnel on Route 116 and battle the Grunt to receive the Devon Goods. Then, head to Rustboro City. A Devon Co. employee will stop you and lead you into the Devon Co. building. In the building, talk to the President, Mr. Stone, to receive a letter that he wants you to give to Steven.[6] -
2 Deliver the letter to Steven and then talk to Mr. Stone again. Travel by boat to Dewford Town and find Steven inside the Granite Cave. Simply talk to him and give him the letter. Then, head back to Rustboro City and talk to Mr. Stone in the Devon Co. building. He will then give you the Exp. Share. - To get to Dewford Town, you have to talk to Mr. Briney in his house on Route 104.
-
3 Play the lottery at the Lilycove Department Store as an alternative. You can get another Exp. Share by visiting the Pokémon Lottery Corner inside the Lilycove Department Store in Lilycove City. If the last 3 digits of your Trainer ID match the lottery draw for the day, you win an Exp. Share.[7] -
4 Use a Code Breaker cheat if you’re emulating Emerald. If you’re playing Emerald on an emulator, you can get multiple Exp. Shares using Code Breaker, which comes with the VisualBoy Advance emulator:[8] - Open the emulator and select the Cheats menu.
- Select Code Breaker.
- Enter the code 82005274 00B6.
- Click “OK.”
- Visit any Poké Mart and buy an Exp. Share.

-
Talk to Professor Oak's Aide after catching 50 Pokémon. In these games, you follow the exact same steps as in Red, Blue, and Yellow, except you get an Exp. Share this time. Simply catch 50 Pokémon and then talk to Professor Oak's Aide inside the watchtower outside of Fuschia City.[9]
-
1 Talk to Professor Rowan’s assistant after seeing 35 Pokémon. To get an Exp. Share in these games, you have to see (not catch) at least 35 Pokémon. Simply head to Route 206 and enter the passageway that leads to the bike trail between Eterna City and Oreburgh City. Then, talk to the man in the passage, who is Professor Rowan’s assistant, to get the Exp. Share.[10] - Professor Rowan’s assistant is also Lucas’ or Dawn’s father, depending on if you’re playing as a male or female character.
-
2 Play the lottery at Jubilife TV as an alternative. To get another Exp. Share, go to the Pokémon Lottery Corner on the ground floor of the Jubilife TV building in Jubilife City. If the last 3 digits of your Trainer ID match the lottery draw for the day, you get an Exp. Share.[11] Advertisement
-
1 Battle the red Gyarados and give the Red Scale to Mr. Pokémon. Repeat the same steps as in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Battle the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage to receive the Red Scale. Then, visit Mr. Pokémon on Route 30 to trade it for an Exp. Share.[12] -
2 Play the lottery at the Goldenrod Radio Tower as another option. Like in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, you can win an Exp. Share by playing the lottery at the Goldenrod Radio Tower in Goldenrod City. The last 3 or 4 digits of your Trainer ID just have to match the lottery numbers drawn that day.[13] Advertisement
-
1 Defeat the Janitor at the Battle Company in Castelia City. Head to Castelia City and go inside the Battle Company building. Take the elevator up to the fifty-fifth floor and battle the Janitor at the back of the room. When you defeat him, he reveals himself as the president of the Battle Company and gives you an Exp. Share.[14] -
2 Visit the Pokémon Fan Club after your Pokémon has gained 25-49 levels. Once you’ve leveled up your Pokémon 25 to 49 times after catching or hatching it, go to the Pokémon Fan Club in Icirrus City. Talk to the chairman of the club, who will give you an Exp. Share.[15] - For example, if you caught your Pokémon at level 5 and it’s now at level 54, show it to the chairman at the Pokémon Fan Club.

-
Use the same methods as in Black and White. Like in Black and White, you can get an Exp. Share from the Battle Company in Castelia City and from the Pokémon Fan Club in Icirrus City:[16] - Castelia City: Head inside the Battle Company building. The Janitor/former president is waiting on the ground floor to talk to you. He gives you the Exp. Share without asking you to battle him this time.
- Icirrus City: Level up your Pokémon 25 to 49 times after catching or hatching it. Then, talk to the chairman inside the Pokémon Fan Club.
-
Beat the first gym leader and talk to Alexa on Route 4. Go to Santalune City and defeat Viola, who is the first gym leader in these games. Then, leave the gym and head north to Route 4. The gym leader's sister, Alexa, stops you before you can leave the city and gives you the Exp. Share.[17] - In X/Y, the Exp. Share isn’t a held item. Instead, it acts like an Exp. All, meaning that all of the Pokémon in your party get experience, even if they didn’t battle. You can turn the Exp. Share on or off in your Key Items pocket.

-
Save the Scientist from the Grunt in Petalburg Woods. Head west from Petalburg City and enter Petalburg Woods. Then, find the Scientist in the woods and talk to him, which causes a Team Magma/Aqua Grunt to confront him. Simply battle and defeat the Grunt to save the Scientist. As his thanks, he gives you the Exp. Share.[18] - Like in X/Y, the Exp. Share in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire isn’t a held item and instead, acts like an Exp. All that you can turn on or off.
-
Get the Exp. Share from Professor Kukui outside the Trainers' School. In both games, the first time you visit the Trainers' School along Route 1, Professor Kukui greets you. After he talks to you, he gives you the Exp. Share.[19] - In Sun/Moon and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, the Exp. Share works like an Exp. All. You keep it in your Key Items pocket and can turn it on or off.

-
There are no Exp. Shares in these games. Starting with Generation 8, the Exp. Share is no longer an item you can get in the games. Instead, all of the Pokémon in your party automatically gain experience, even if you didn’t use them in battle. This is a core function of these games that can not be turned off.[20]
-
The Exp. Share gives experience to Pokémon even if they don’t battle. In most Pokémon games, the Exp. Share is a held item or Key Item that gives experience to Pokémon in your party, even if you didn’t use them in battle. However, the Exp. Share does not work if your Pokémon faints—they won’t get experience from battles until they are revived. This item is a great way to level up weaker Pokémon or even out your team’s experience without having to send each Pokémon into battle.[21] - In Gen 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow):
- You keep the Exp. All in your bag. The Pokémon that battled receive 50% of the experience points (split evenly) while the rest of the Pokémon in your party receive the other 50% (split evenly).
- In Gen 2 to 5 (Gold/Silver/Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, FireRed/LeafGreen, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, Black/White 1 & 2):
- The Exp. Share is a held item that you give to 1 Pokémon. The Pokémon receives 50% of the experience points earned from the battle. The Pokémon that battled receive the other 50% (split evenly among them).
- In Gen 6 and 7 (X/Y, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Sun/Moon, Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon):
- The Exp. Share is a Key Item that you keep in your pocket and can turn on or off. The Pokémon in your party that don’t battle get 50% of the experience earned. The Pokémon who did battle get 100% of the experience that they earned.
- In Gen 8 and 9 (Sword/Shield, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, Scarlet/Violet):
- All Pokémon in your party receive experience, regardless if they are used in battle, which can’t be turned off. The amount of experience your Pokémon receive is based on their level and whether they were used in battle.
