Level Up Your Squad Without the Grind: The Not-So-Shady Guide to Getting an Exp. Share in Pokemon Soul Silver
Ah, Pokemon Soul Silver. A journey of catching 'em all, battling gym leaders with questionable fashion choices, and wondering if that mysterious egg will ever hatch into anything besides a Jigglypuff. But what if I told you there's a way to streamline your adventure, to turn those low-level scrubs on your team into powerhouses without the soul-crushing grind? That, my friends, is where the mighty Exp. Share comes in.

| How To Get A Exp Share In Pokemon Soul Silver |
What is this Mythical Exp. Share?
For those new to the scene, the Exp. Share is a glorious little held item that distributes a portion of the experience points your battling Pokemon earns to the rest of your party. No more weeping over a fainted Magikarp getting zero XP – with the Exp. Share, everyone gets a participation trophy (and a much-needed level boost).
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
So, How Do We Get Our Paws on This Magical Item?
Well, buckle up, trainers, because this ain't your typical "walk into a Pok� Mart" situation. Here's the slightly-weird-but-totally-worth-it method:
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
-
Prepare for Takeoff (to Mahogany Town): First things first, you'll need to head to Mahogany Town, located east of Ecruteak City. Think of it as a vacation – you deserve a break from all that gym battling!
-
Operation Rage: Gyarados Edition: Here's where things get interesting. In Mahogany Town, you'll find a place called Lake of Rage. Now, this lake isn't known for its relaxing picnics. Instead, it's home to a grumpy red Gyarados with anger issues. Be warned: This isn't your average Magikarp evolution. This Gyarados is a shiny badass, so be prepared for a tough battle (or, if you're feeling particularly brave, try to catch it – a red Gyarados would be a total power move).
-
Shiny and Scaly: Whether you defeat or capture this raging beast, you'll be rewarded with a Red Scale. Don't toss it in your bag and forget about it – this is your golden ticket to Exp. Share heaven!
-
Mr. Pokemon Wants You (and Your Red Scale): Now, the fun part! Head back to Route 30, where you first met Professor Elm (remember the egg guy?). There's a house on this route with a friendly gentleman named – wait for it – Mr. Pokemon. This guy clearly has a thing for pocket monsters. Show him your hard-earned Red Scale, and voila! He'll be eternally grateful and hand over the coveted Exp. Share.
Congratulations, trainer! You've officially unlocked the path to a more balanced and less grindy Pokemon journey. Now, go forth and conquer Johto with your newly empowered team (and maybe give Mr. Pokemon a high five for his generosity).
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
P.S. If you're feeling particularly sneaky, you could try trading for a Pokemon already holding an Exp. Share. But hey, where's the adventure in that?
Tip: Write down what you learned.
