Level Up Your Life with the Exp. Share in Pok�mon Y: A Guide for Trainers Who Aren't Here to Grind
Ah, the Exp. Share. That magical little keychain that turns your weaker Pokemon into XP-sucking black holes. But where do you find this glorious item in the dazzling region of Kalos? Fear not, fellow trainer, for I, your friendly neighborhood guide (and resident meme connoisseur), am here to help you navigate the treacherous waters of early-game grinding (or lack thereof)!
How To Get Exp Share In Pokemon Y |
The Classic Capers of Lumiose City
- A Gift from a Fan (or Rather, Their Dad): Head over to Lumiose City, that sprawling metropolis that makes New York look quaint. Once there, navigate the labyrinthine streets (don't worry, we've all gotten lost at least once) until you find yourself on Boulevard Lumiose. Look for a house with a giant blue X on the roof. Inside, you'll find a room filled with ecstatic fans. Talk to the dad of the overzealous trainer (depending on your gender), and he'll, in a moment of desperate parental pride, bestow the Exp. Share upon you.
Trainer Tip: Be prepared for the sheer volume of screaming from the aforementioned fans. Earplugs might be a good investment.

Alternative Avenues for the Ambitious Trainer
- The Black Market (Well, Sort Of): Now, listen up closely, because this next one requires some audacity. Head back to Lumiose City (because, let's face it, that's where all the cool stuff happens). This time, you're looking for the Department Store on Avenus Centrale. Once inside, wander around the second floor until you find a suspicious-looking salesman. Engage in conversation (don't worry, it's not illegal... entirely), and you might just stumble upon the Exp. Share hidden amongst his "rare" merchandise. Just be prepared to pay a hefty price (or question the legitimacy of his entire stock).
Trainer Tip: This method is a bit more shady, and the salesman might try to sell you a slightly used Magikarp plushie at the same time. Buyer beware!
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.![]()
But wait, there's more! While these are the main ways to snag an Exp. Share, remember, this is Kalos, the region of fashion and flair. Keep an eye out for events or giveaways happening throughout your journey. You never know when a free Exp. Share might be thrown your way as a promotional item (especially if it involves dressing your Pikachu in a tiny beret).
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.![]()
So there you have it, aspiring trainers! With the Exp. Share in your possession, you can focus on catching 'em all and leaving the tedious grinding to the true champions: your underleveled Pokemon. Now get out there and conquer Kalos (and maybe win some fashion contests along the way)!
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.![]()
