I was leveling up for a while in mt.silver and I discovered this annoying bug, which is that when I switch to x pokemon and it dies from explosion I don't receive any exp from this battle. really annoys me a lot cause it wastes my time while training to fast level up a weak pokemon.

Explosion never gave or will give exp.

151303 Explosion never gave or will give exp.

 

Actually, exp isn't awarded whenever both pokemon die. It will also happen when the attacking pokemon dies from recoil damage, for example. It's no particularity of the explosion move.

Also, If your pokemon resists the explosion damage, you will get exp as normal.

Here's the scenario I'm talking about:

 

lvl 20 poke leading the party >> switch to strong pokemon = if the strong poke dies from explosion the lvl 20 poke still don't receive any exp :)

 

So at the end of the fight the lvl 20 poke is alive and should receive exp for being in the fight..?

Hangather is right, blue663. No experience rewarded if both Pokemon happened to faint in the same turn.

Makes no sense but whatever, ty :)
