Calculate EXP for traded Pokémon in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Learn the formula for battles like against Chansey at level 59.
When a traded Pokémon battles, its EXP gain is calculated using a special formula that includes bonuses. This is different from how a Pokémon obtained within your game receives EXP.
The formula for EXP gained by a traded Pokémon is: Gained EXP = Special Bonuses (Base Exp x Opponent Pokemon's Level / 7).
For example, if you fight the same Chansey (which has a Base Exp of 255) when it is at Level 59, the calculation proceeds as follows:
- Calculate the base EXP: (255 x 59) / 7 = 15045 / 7 = 2149 (Rounded).
- Apply the first 1.5 bonus: 2149 x 1.5 = 3324 (Rounded).
- Apply the second 1.5 bonus: 3324 x 1.5 = 4986 EXP.
The reason the 1.5 multiplier is applied twice is due to how the game calculates EXP for traded Pokémon. Instead of adding the two 1.5 bonuses together, the game multiplies them separately, resulting in a significantly higher EXP gain.
- This calculation method applies specifically to Pokémon that were traded into your game.
- The opponent's level is a crucial factor in the EXP calculation.
- Ensure you round the numbers at each step of the calculation as shown in the example.
