Exp. Share

Introduction​

The Exp. Share is an essential item for trainers who wish to efficiently level up their Pokémon without requiring each one to battle. This article delves into how the Exp. Share functions, obtaining it, and its crafting recipe throughout its iterations.

How It Works​

The Exp. Share is a held item that grants experience points to the Pokémon holding it, even if they don't actively battle. As long as the participating Pokémon are not fainted, they gain full experience and effort values (EVs) from the battle. The Pokémon that holds the Exp. Share but does not participate in the battle will receive 50% of the experience points. You can use multiple Exp. Shares concurrently without any interference, allowing for efficient team development.

Obtaining the Exp. Share​

The Exp. Share can be crafted in the game using resources collected during gameplay. Here’s how you can craft it:

Crafting Recipe​

To craft an Exp. Share, you'll need:

  • 2 Amethyst Shards
  • 1 Gold Ingot
  • 2 Lapis Lazuli
  • 2 Iron Ingots
  • 1 Iron Helmet

The crafting grid would appear as follows:

Amethyst Shard | Gold Ingot   | Amethyst Shard
Lapis Lazuli   | Iron Helmet  | Lapis Lazuli
Iron Ingot     |              | Iron Ingot

Conclusion​

The Exp. Share is a valuable item that trainers can use to distribute experience points across their team efficiently. Understanding its mechanics and crafting can give you an edge in strengthening your Pokémon team.

By understanding how to utilize the Exp. Share, players can optimize their strategies to nurture a powerful and balanced team.
