Experience Points

Exp is how much experince a pokemon has. When you make a foe's pokémon faints, all of your pokemon who didn't faint particapted in the battle will split the exp. When a pokémon gains enough exp, it will level up. You will not gain any exp when you catch a wild pokémon thou. The stronger the fainted pokémon, the more exp will be earned. The stronger a pokémon, the more exp it needs to level up. If a pokémon in your party hold an Exp. Share it will gain exp even if it doesn't particapte in a Battle. A popular cheat/strategy when you don't have an Exp. Share is to put a weak pokémon at the front of your party, and then as soon as the battle begines, switch it out. The pokémon will gain Exp even thou it didn't attack. Since it was in battle for a turn, it counts as particapting. It will have to spilt exp with the pokémon that did the real work thou.
