Where to Find this Legendary Loot?
The EXP Share isn't exactly handed out like candy (which, let's be real, would be a terrible battle strategy). You'll need to put in a little effort, but hey, that's what being a Pokemon trainer is all about, right?

Professor Oak's Sneaky Stash: Here's the deal. Tucked away on Route 15, there's a little building between Fuchsia City and... well, more Fuchsia City. Inside, one of Professor Oak's assistants (probably tired of cleaning up after your Pokedex-filling sprees) will dole out the EXP Share. But there's a catch (because there always is, isn't there?). You gotta catch at least 50 different Pokemon. That's right, 50! So dust off those Poke Balls and get catching, because diversification is the key to... well, EXP sharing!
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.![]()
Pro Tip: Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of Pokemon? Don't forget about the glorious Safari Zone! It's basically a buffet for catching (and potentially fleeing in terror from) all sorts of creatures. Just don't anger the Chanseys... trust me.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.![]()
The Grind is Real, But So Are the Rewards
Let's be honest, catching 50 Pokemon can feel like a chore. But hey, think of it this way: you're not just helping your weaker Pokemon level up, you're also becoming a Pokemon encyclopedia! Imagine the bragging rights at the next trainer gathering: "Oh, you only caught a Charizard? Cute. I've got a Muk, a Voltorb, and a whole army of Zubats in my Pokedex."
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.![]()
Plus, with the EXP Share, your entire team will be reaping the benefits of every battle. No more over-leveled starter hogging all the spotlight! It's basically like Pokemon communism, but way cooler (and without the whole seizing-the-means-of-production thing).
So Get Out There and Catch 'Em All (Especially the EXP Share)!
The quest for the EXP Share might not be a walk in the park (especially if you keep running into Brock's Onix), but the rewards are worth it. A well-balanced team, a happier trainer, and the satisfaction of knowing you've aced the ultimate test of catching and companionship. Now go forth, trainer, and spread the EXP love! Just remember to share your extra potions with Pikachu, even if he is a glory hog.
