Generation 1

The experience-sharing feature was introduced in Pokémon games starting with Generation 1. In these early titles, the Exp. Share was not as common, but it was available. Here's where to find it:

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow

In Pokémon Red and Blue, the Exp. Share can be obtained in Celadon City. You must visit the Pokémon Center and speak to a character in the back room who will give it to you. Pokémon Yellow has a slightly different method:

• After obtaining the Surfing Pikachu, visit the Celadon Department Store and purchase it.

Generation 2

In Generation 2, the Exp. Share was available in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The method to obtain it required you to:

Pokémon Gold and Silver

The Exp. Share is located in the Goldenrod Department Store. After defeating Whitney, head to the store and go to the top floor. Speak to the clerk to receive your Exp. Share.

Pokémon Crystal

In Pokémon Crystal, you can acquire the Exp. Share from a character in the Pokémon Center in Goldenrod after you have defeated the Elite Four.

Generation 3

In Generation 3, the Exp. Share was further refined. Here’s how to find it:

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

The Exp. Share can be obtained from a scientist in the Slateport City Oceanic Museum. After defeating Team Aqua, you will be rewarded with it.

Pokémon Emerald

In Pokémon Emerald, you can find the Exp. Share in the same location as Ruby and Sapphire, but you also have the option of receiving it from the trainer who has it in Battle Frontier.

Generation 4

As the series progressed, the Exp. Share became more accessible. In Generation 4:

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

In these games, you can find the Exp. Share in the Veilstone Department Store. After you defeat the Gym Leader, head to the store and purchase it for 1,000 Poké Dollars.

Generation 5

In Generation 5, the Exp. Share was slightly modified. Here's how to locate it:

Pokémon Black and White

In Pokémon Black and White, the Exp. Share is given to you by a character in the Pokémon Center in Castelia City after you defeat the Elite Four.

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

In these sequels, you can find the Exp. Share in the same location as the original titles, but you can also receive it from the professor in the beginning of the game.

Generation 6

Generation 6 introduced several new features, including a new way to obtain the Exp. Share:

Pokémon X and Y

The Exp. Share is obtained early in the game from your friend Shauna after you leave Santalune City. It's automatically given to you as part of the story.

Generation 7

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Exp. Share was further improved. Here's how to get it:

Pokémon Sun and Moon

In these games, the Exp. Share is turned on by default after you receive it from Professor Kukui. It functions automatically and shares experience among your Pokémon without needing to hold an item.

Generation 8

Generation 8 continued the trend of improving the Exp. Share:

Pokémon Sword and Shield

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the Exp. Share is also automatic. As soon as you start your adventure, all Pokémon in your party gain experience from battles without needing to hold any item.

Generation 9

The latest installment in the Pokémon series, Generation 9, maintains the trend of automatic experience sharing:

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

In these games, the Exp. Share works similarly to Sword and Shield, with all Pokémon in your party receiving experience from battles. There is no need to obtain an item, making it more convenient for trainers.
