EXP System Guide

[Houndstone]

 

Hello again, Trainers. This guide will serve to teach you about the experience (EXP) mechanics of PRO; how it works, what has changed over the years and how to efficiently reach Level 100. The grind begins...

 

The Facts

 

Experience points are gained by all Pokémon who have been sent out against an opposing Pokémon and then divided evenly between them upon the opposing Pokémon fainting. The amount of Experience points earned is determined by the fainted Pokémon's level and it's species. Since the 2023 EXP rework, the Experience points earned by a Pokémon from battle will remain consistent throughout the entire evolutionary line. This means that preventing your Pokémon from evolving offers no advantage whatsoever in regards to the EXP earned from battle. The formula for how EXP is earned is as follows:

 

 

Candies and Boosting EXP

Candies are a great way of earning instant EXP outside of battle. Here is a list of which candies are obtainable and their effects:

 

• Rare Candy - Increases a Pokémon's level by 1, up to level 100. After leveling up, it will have the minimum required experience for its current level.

• Exp. Candy XS - Yields 100 Experience points

• Exp. Candy S - Yields 800 Experience points

• Exp Candy M - Yields 3,000 Experience points

• Exp Candy L - Yields 10,000 Experience points

• Exp Candy XL - Yields 30,000 Experience points
 

Rare Candies can be obtained from many sources, like rewards from Bosses and Digspots and they are tradeable between players here in PRO. Exp Candies are primarily found from Pokéstops and are untradeable.

There is a bunch of ways to boost the amount of EXP earned from battling here in PRO. These include:

 

• Exp. Booster Potion - Boosts Experience points earned from battle by 25%

• Membership - Having an active Membership boosts Experience points earned from battle by 50%

• Guild Boosts - Being in a large Guild offers a boost of Experience Points earned from battle (2.5% for 40 or more members, 5% for 75 or more members, 7.5% for 95 or more members); Being in a Guild in the Top 10 of the monthly Guild Ladder offers an additional 25% boost of Experience points earned from battle. This boost of Experience Points is applied to every player in the Guild in the previous Ranked season.

• Exp. Share - If any non-fainted Pokémon in your party holds an Exp. Share, the total experience earned when an opposing Pokémon faints is split in half between all non-fainted Pokémon which participated in the battle and the Pokémon holding the Exp. Share.

• Party Exp. Share - A seasonal, server-wide boost of Exp which is applied to all non-fainted Pokémon in your party, even Pokémon which did not participate in battle. Active during some events.

Reaching Level 100
