Calling All Trainers Tired of the Grind? Your Exp. Share in Ruby Awaits!
Let's face it, trainers. We all dream of a team that throws down like champions. But let's be honest, grinding levels can feel about as exciting as watching paint dry (unless it's a particularly sparkly paint, in which case, maybe that's not entirely true). That's where the legendary Exp. Share comes in, the ultimate shortcut to a well-rounded team ... or at least a team that doesn't faint after battling a Zigzagoon.
Now, if you're a seasoned Ruby trainer, you might already know this. But for those new trainers just starting their Hoenn journey, fear not! This guide will have you rolling in that sweet, sweet experience like a Zigzagoon in tall grass (although hopefully with less fainting).
Step 1: Devon Corp. Calling! (But Not About That Internship You Applied For)
First things first, you gotta head to Devon Corp. in Rustboro City. Think of it as your chance to impress a billionaire (with helpful errand-running, not your amazing Pokémon battling skills... yet).
Here's the catch: You won't just waltz in and snag an Exp. Share. You gotta deliver a letter to Steven Stone, the big cheese himself. This letter's more important than your overdue library book (hopefully), so make sure you get it to him.
Step 2: Patience, Young Grasshopper (Unless You Have a Mach Bike)
Once you've become Steven's official mail carrier (don't worry, the uniform is super casual), head back to Devon Corp.. This time, you'll be greeted by Mr. Stone himself. Prepare to be showered with gratitude (and hopefully an Exp. Share).
Word to the wise: Don't be a youngster who forgets. If you haven't delivered that letter, Mr. Stone will look at you with the same enthusiasm as a Magikarp staring at a mountain.
Step 3: Party Time! (For Your Entire Pokémon Team)
And there you have it! With the Exp. Share in your bag, those long training sessions are about to become a thing of the past. Now your whole team can level up at the same time, making you the envy of every trainer on Route 101.
Trainer Tip: Exp. Share is like a friendship bracelet for your Pokémon team. It shows them you care (and that you really don't want to spend all day battling Poochyena).
So there you have it, trainers! With this guide, you're well on your way to becoming a Hoenn champion. Now get out there, explore, catch 'em all, and most importantly, enjoy the journey (and the shared experience)!
