Sharing is Caring: How to Snag an Exp. Share in Pokemon Platinum
Ah, the Exp. Share. That glorious little item that turns your weakling Pokemon into experience-sucking machines. But where, oh where, do you get this magical device in Pokemon Platinum? Fear not, weary trainer, for I, your friendly neighborhood guide (with questionable fashion sense), am here to show you the way!
Method 1: Professor Rowan's Assistant Hooks You Up (Unless They're Busy)
First up, we have the tried-and-true method. Head to Eterna City, that lovely little place where bicycles reign supreme. Now, remember that gatehouse you used to exit the city before you got your fancy wheels? Yeah, the one that always seemed a little suspicious? Well, that's where the magic happens!
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.![]()
How To Get A Exp Share In Pokemon Platinum |
Here's the Lowdown:
Tip: Review key points when done.![]()
- Talk to Professor Rowan's assistant. They're the one chilling behind the counter, probably judging your questionable team choices (don't worry, we've all been there).
- The Catch: You gotta see at least 35 different Pokemon. Just catching them all isn't enough, you gotta be a Pokemon paparazzi first!
- The Reward: If you've fulfilled your quota of Pokemon sightseeing, Professor Rowan's assistant will gift you an Exp. Share. Boom! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Method 2: The Daily Lottery: Get Lucky or Get Grinding
Feeling like a gambler? Then this method might tickle your fancy (or drain your wallet). Head over to Jubilife City, the bustling metropolis of Pokemon Platinum. Now, find that flashy building that screams "we totally have a lottery here!" - yep, that's the TV Station.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.![]()
Here's the Deal:
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.![]()
- Play the Pokemon Lottery. It's a daily thing, so check back every day for a chance to win.
- Match the Digits: If the last 3 digits of your Pokemon's Trainer ID number match the last 3 digits of the lottery number, congratulations! You just snagged yourself an Exp. Share!
- The Gamble: This method is pure luck. You could win on your first try, or you could be grinding for lottery tickets for weeks. Just remember, addiction is a real problem, trainers.
Pro Tip: Want to increase your chances of winning? Train a bunch of Pokemon and check their Trainer IDs. The more Pokemon you have, the more chances you have of matching those digits!
Bonus Round: Sharing is Caring (But Not Really)
Alright, so you finally got your Exp. Share. Now, who gets the privilege of being a walking EXP sponge? Well, that's entirely up to you! But here are some totally unbiased suggestions:
- The Underdog: That poor little Magikarp who just can't seem to level up? Give them the Exp. Share and watch them become a majestic Gyarados in no time!
- The New Recruit: Just caught a Pokemon that's way lower leveled than your team? Slap that Exp. Share on them and get them up to speed ASAP!
- Yourself (Because Why Not?): Look, trainer, we've all been there. Sometimes your starter Pokemon just isn't cutting it. There's no shame in using the Exp. Share to give yourself a little leg up. Treat yo' self!
There you have it, trainers! With a little know-how and maybe a sprinkle of luck, you'll be swimming in Exp. Shares in no time. Now get out there and conquer Sinnoh with your newly leveled-up team (and maybe a few fashion tips from someone who clearly doesn't have any)!
