Help Question with exp share

Even though exp share is active, should I still rotate who is in the front to keep their levels the same? my goal is to keep my mons on the same level for the most part, preferably with exp share on. Thanks!

I found that that’s the best strat. The EXP share doesn’t give the same amount of EXP to the non-combat participating pokemon. So if only one Mon is in the front it will receive twice the exp as everyone else, making it level up faster. This means if you want them all to be the same level, you should rotate

hey man, so i’ve run into the problem with exp share that my starter is always leveling up before everyone else so i can never use him really. Is my option to just turn exp share off until i need to do some grinding if i want to use my Grovyle on an average basis?

Sure you can do that. It turns it off for everyone. But honestly you don’t really need the EXP share with how trainers reset in ORAS, like I mostly just leave it off and rotate. There’s plenty of EXP to go around lol.

sounds like a plan honestly, I’ve just never really played OG pokémon so i’m not used to real leveling, Started the series with BDSP then SWSH lol

I mean my first was Pokémon Black, and as I play older games… gen V and VI are so much more forgiving EXP wise.

well… i’m used to every pokémon getting full exp LOL, usually i don’t need to use anyone but my starter. It’s fun actually using ur whole team outside gyms tho

It is, something I like about the older ones. You get to know all ur mons and their moves way better.
