Struggling to Train Your Pokemon Posse in Pokemon Ruby? Fear Not, the Exp. Share is Here to Save the Day (and Your Sanity)!
Ah, Pokemon Ruby. A classic journey filled with epic battles, adorable creatures, and...the struggle of grinding experience points (EXP) for your entire team. Let's face it, battling wild Poochyenas for the 87th time to get your starter to level 10 can be enough to make even the most patient trainer tear their hair out.
Enter the Exp. Share: Your Ticket to a Less Grindy and More Glorious Pokemon Adventure!
This magical held item is a lifesaver for any trainer who wants their entire team to be powerful, not just their main battler. But how do you get your hands on this legendary item? Don't worry, aspiring Pokemon Master, because I'm here to guide you through the not-so-secret, but sometimes confusing, path to Exp. Share acquisition.
Step 1: Deliver a Letter (No, Not a Hogwarts Acceptance Letter...Yet)
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
Your first task is to become a glorified errand runner for Mr. Stone, the president of Devon Corp. in Rustboro City. Don't worry, it's not like he's making you fetch coffee (although a fresh cup of Lumiose Tea would be nice). You'll be entrusted with a very important letter for Steven Stone, a young man with a knack for rocks and a potentially impressive beard (it's implied, okay?).

Steven? Who's Steven?
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
Don't worry about that now, rookie. Just focus on finding Steven and delivering the letter. He might be hanging around Granite Cave on Dewford Island, so pack your best hiking shoes and maybe a Zubat repellent (those things are annoying).
Step 2: Return to Devon Corp. Like a Boss (Who Just Delivered a Letter)
 |
Once Steven has received his top-secret correspondence (probably about the best way to polish a fossil), head back to Devon Corp. in Rustboro City. Remember Mr. Stone, the big cheese himself? Here's where things get exciting.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Behold! The Exp. Share Awaits!
Impressed by your valiant mail-carrying skills (and maybe a little grateful you didn't lose the letter), Mr. Stone will bestow upon you the glorious Exp. Share! This little beauty ensures that even Pokemon chilling in the back of your party receive a portion of the EXP gained from battles. No more excessive grinding! Now your entire team can level up at a decent pace, making you a well-rounded Pokemon trainer and not just a Poochyena pummeling pro.
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
Bonus Tip: There Might Be Another Way (But It's a Gamble)
Feeling lucky, punk trainer? The Lilycove Department Store has a Pokemon Lottery Corner. Here, you can spend your hard-earned prize money on lottery tickets. If the last three digits of your Trainer ID match the winning number, you might just snag yourself an Exp. Share! But be warned, this is a game of chance, and the odds are definitely not in your favor. So, unless you've got a lucky horseshoe or a talking Meowth by your side, stick with the tried-and-true method of becoming Mr. Stone's favorite mail carrier.
There you have it, trainers! With the Exp. Share in your grasp, you can ditch the endless grinding and focus on the truly important things: catching new Pokemon, battling gym leaders, and maybe even winning the Pokemon League Championship (with a well-trained team, of course). Now go forth and conquer, but don't forget to thank Mr. Stone for his generosity (and maybe bring him a souvenir from your adventures).
