How To Get A Exp Share In Pokemon Fire Red |
The Professor's Not-So-Secret Assistant (Unless You Haven't Caught Enough Pokemon)
First things first, you'll need to head to the verdant pastures of Route 15. Now, this isn't exactly the Safari Zone, so don' caterpies and weedles won't cut it. We're talking variety, my friend! You gotta catch at least 50 different Pokemon species. Think of it as your own personal Pokemon catching challenge! Butterfree today, majestic Arcanine tomorrow - you get the idea.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.![]()
But wait, there's more! Once you've amassed a respectable collection of Pokemon pals (and maybe a participation trophy for catching a Rattata), head to the building situated between Route 15 and Fuchsia City. Don't worry, it's hard to miss. It practically screams "Important Trainer Stuff Here" (though maybe a bit more subtly than that giant Slowpoke tail in Vermillion City).
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.![]()
Here's the key part: Head on up to the second floor. You'll find one of Professor Oak's assistants diligently...well, assisting the Professor, probably. Talk to this fine fellow, and if you've snagged 50 Pokemon varieties, he'll be impressed by your trainer prowess and bestow upon you the glorious Exp. Share!
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.![]()
Pro-Tip: Feeling overwhelmed by the catching spree? Don't forget about the wonders of the Safari Zone! With a little patience and some well-placed bait, you can snag a bunch of different Pokemon in no time.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.![]()
So You Got Your Exp. Share... Now What?
Now that you've got your hands on this legendary item, equip it to your lagging Pokemon and watch the experience points roll in! Just remember, the Exp. Share divides the experience from defeated Pokemon between your entire party, not just the holder. So while your weakling will get a nice boost, your powerhouse Pikachu might level up a little slower.
There you have it, trainers! With a little dedication and maybe a few Poke Balls thrown your way, you'll be well on your way to a well-balanced and leveled-up team. Now get out there and catch 'em all (or at least 50)!
