Effect
Held: Half the experience from a battle is split between Pokémon holding this item.
Held : Experience is split across two groups: Pokémon who participated in battle, and Pokémon holding this item. Each Pokémon earns experience as though it had battled alone, divided by the number of Pokémon in its group, then divided by the number of groups. Pokémon holding this item who also participated in battle effectively earn experience twice. Fainted Pokémon never earn experience, and empty groups are ignored; thus, if a single Pokémon is holding this item and the only Pokémon who battled faints from Explosion, the holder will gain full experience.

Where to find it
Game abbreviations follow the standard Pokémon series conventions.
Generation I
- In Generation I (when the item was known as the Exp.All in English), if it is in the Bag , Exp. All halves the experience and stat experience earned by the player's Pokémon that participated in the battle in order to distribute experience and stat experience to all party members.
- Half of the earned experience and stat experience is distributed evenly among party members who participated in the battle. Then, due to a bug , experience and stat experience equal to the amount received by a single participating party member is distributed evenly among all party members. If only one of the player's Pokémon participated in the battle, this amount is equal to half of the total, functioning as intended; however, if multiple Pokémon participated, some experience and stat experience that would have otherwise been earned is lost. Experience that would be distributed to a fainted Pokémon is always lost. For example, in a party of five, each Pokémon would get 20% of the shared experience. If two Pokémon are fainted, the remaining three still only get 20% of the shared experience each, and 40% of the shared experience is lost.
Generation II
- If any non-fainted Pokémon in the party holds an Exp. Share, the total experience and stat experience earned when an opposing Pokémon faints is split in half, with 50% evenly distributed between all non-fainted Pokémon who participated in the battle and 50% evenly distributed between all non-fainted Pokémon holding an Exp. Share (rounded down to the nearest whole number).
- When the Pokémon holding this item receives experience, the amount of Exp. Points gained is shown twice. Furthermore, a Pokémon whose Original Trainer is the player that both participates in battle and holds an Exp. Share will gain approximately 50% (due to rounding) of the experience twice, meaning that it does not receive 100% of the experience.
