Fastest EXP in pokemon legends z a: Farm Mega Shards for Small XP Candies or battle wild Pokemon. Get 7,000 XP per loop with the Mega Shard method.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Farm Mega Shards around Prism Tower; they respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) fairly quickly.
  2. 2
    Check the shopping center roof near the middle of the map for additional shards.
  3. 3
    Collect Colorful Screws (glowing purple Pokeballs on scaffolding and rooftops).
  4. 4
    Trade Colorful Screws at the construction site near the station to buy the Pink Canari Plush charm, which dramatically increases Mega Shards per node.
  5. 5
    You can also buy a Red Canari Plush charm for more XP to further boost your gains.
  6. 6
    Trade shards at Quasartico Inc. for Small XP Candies. You’ll walk away with around 20 small candies or 7,000 XP per farming loop.
  7. 7
    For more natural XP gains while exploring, battle wild Pokemon in Wild Zones. Pokemon that are up to 7 levels below your current Pokemon still give decent XP.
  8. 8
    During night time, battle other trainers in Battle Zones. You can sneak up on them or use over-leveled Pokemon.
Tips
  • An interactive map is available for other areas with big clusters of Mega Shards and Colorful Screws.
  • Some EXP candies grant level ups, which are best used for later level XP level ups. Smaller or bigger EXP candies are better earlier on.
  • This Mega Shard method is excellent for early to mid-game leveling, especially for new team members that are significantly underleveled.
  • When you start reaching level 30 odd, battling becomes more necessary due to needing a bigger EXP per level.
  • Wild Zones are effective and rapid for pokemon leveling.
  • When battling trainers in Battle Zones, use your Pokemon to counter other trainers with sneak attacks.
  • If using an over-leveled Pokemon to beat others, let your other party Pokemon get some XP passively when they are close to leveling.
  • Do not let a Pokemon faint at all costs as you won't get XP for it unless you use a revive on it.
  • This method is especially important for post-game content where side missions require you to train specific Pokemon to certain levels before challenging NPCs.
