Sharing is Caring (Especially When It Comes to EXP in HeartGold)
Ah, Pokemon HeartGold. A classic journey through the Johto region, catching 'em all and battling your way to the top. But let's face it, training that whole team can feel like a chore sometimes. Enter the glorious EXP Share, the ultimate tool for turning your weaklings into powerhouses... almost.
Here's the thing, trainers: getting your hands on an EXP Share in HeartGold isn't exactly a walk in the park. It's more like a slightly-challenging hike with a maybe-real Gyarados encounter. But fear not, fellow Pokemon enthusiasts, for I, your friendly neighborhood guide (with a questionable sense of direction), will be your sherpa on this EXP- zdobywanie (that's Polish for "acquiring," because apparently, English doesn't have a word dramatic enough for this quest).

| How To Get Exp Share Heartgold |
Option 1: The Gyarados Gamble (with a guaranteed win... maybe)
This route is all about facing your fears and possibly getting chomp-chomped by a giant red fish-snake. Buckle up, because we're heading to the Lake of Rage.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
- Unearth the Mystery: First things first, you gotta get yourself to Mahogany Town (east of Ecruteak City). There, you'll find a house with some shady Team Rocket activity going down. Help out, learn how to Surf like a pro (it's important, trust me), and prepare for your aquatic adventure.
- Surf's Up, Gyarados is Out: Now, head north of Mahogany Town. You'll stumble upon a raging lake (because, you know, Lake of Rage). There you'll find the one and only Red Gyarados. Shiny? Terrifying? A combination of both? You decide! Battle it, catch it (highly recommended, it's basically a red Gyarados!), or just run away screaming (no judgment).
- The Reward (and a slight detour): After your Gyarados encounter (hopefully victorious, but hey, participation trophies exist, right?), you'll be the proud owner of a Red Scale. Now, here's the slightly confusing part: head back to Professor Elm's lab in New Bark Town (where you started your journey). There's a friendly fellow named Mr. Pokemon who apparently misplaced his scale collection. Reunite him with his shiny red treasure, and voila! The EXP Share is yours!
Important Trainer Tip: This method is pretty straightforward, but be warned: the Lake of Rage Gyarados is a strong opponent. Make sure your team is leveled up before attempting this.
Option 2: The Radio Roulette (for the thrill-seekers)
Feeling lucky, punk trainer? Then this option is for you! Every day, the Goldenrod City Radio Tower holds a lottery. The prize? You guessed it, the coveted EXP Share! Here's the catch (and it's a big one): you need the last three digits of your Trainer ID to match a specific number.
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
Trainer's Lament: This method is purely based on chance. You could be checking those radio waves for weeks before snagging that EXP Share. But hey, if you're feeling adventurous (or incredibly bored), give it a shot!

Sub-heading: Pro Tip: If you're really desperate, you can always try befriending a Radio Tower employee and subtly inquire about the winning numbers. Just saying...
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
Option 3: The Trading Post (for the social butterflies)
Do you have friends, unlike some lonely trainers out here? sobs internally If you said yes (lucky you!), then this option might be your best bet. Perhaps a fellow Pokemon master has an extra EXP Share lying around gathering dust in their PC. Strike up a deal, offer them a bargain (maybe a Pidgey? Everyone loves a good Pidgey!), and become the ultimate EXP-sharing champion!
Trainer's Note: This method relies on the kindness of strangers (or the desperation of your friends to get rid of that pesky Pidgey). But hey, who knows? You might just make a new Pokemon-loving buddy in the process!
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
So there you have it, trainers! Your ultimate guide to acquiring that sweet, sweet EXP Share in Pokemon HeartGold. Remember, there's no right or wrong way to do it (unless you upset Mr. Pokemon by, you know, not returning his Red Scale). Now go forth, level up your team, and become the ultimate Pokemon champion... or at least the champion of patience in that darn Radio Tower lottery.
