ASB Rules

[Byrus]

Can you choose whether or not to "activate" your exp share, or is it automatically taken into account if one of your active squad is holding it?

 

[Negrek]

If a Pokemon has a Lucky Egg, and then someone uses a move like Thief to get it, does it still give double EXP for each KO the original Pokemon holding it scores?

Yes. The pokémon that used thief doesn't get the bonus.

Can you choose whether or not to "activate" your exp share, or is it automatically taken into account if one of your active squad is holding it?

No; EXP share is always "on," whether you want it to be or not.

A Pokemon can be told to "wait" before performing an action, effectively decreasing its Speed Priority, right? This could be useful in increasing Payback's power, helping to decide which of the 2-3 conditionals to follow, inflicting a status before use of Hex or Facade or something...I figure it's a good thing to ask about.

Yes, a Pokemon can be told to wait.

Adding on to this, does a lower priority move "outwait" a higher one even if the Pokémon who uses the latter is told to wait?

Waitwaitwait a second Negrek. I'm not getting you.

So if you have... a Rattata or something go into battle and it gets EXP, the Pokemon with the EXP Share gets the EXP no matter what? I could understand that with fully evolved Pokemon, but not Pokemon that could still get EXP...

I think I remember seeing it explained somewhere that you can say at the end of the battle that the Pokemon with the ES can take an Experience point from one of your Pokemon that participated in the round and give it to the ES'd Pokemon instead.

Negrek, your current take on how the EXP share works seems to contradict what you've said before, specifically in this post. It seems to say that you can choose whether it activates. I'm just pretty confused right now; I was planning to buy an EXP. Share, but I'd like to have this clarified before I buy one.

Yeah, that's the post I was talking about.
Thanks for linking it~

Well to be precise, it's not just one EXP point - all of it must be transferred, or none of it. Unless that's what you meant, though you seemed to be referring to a single EXP point in your post.

Yeah, I hadn't read that post in awhile.
But yes, all of the experience points.
AAAAAAAALL OOOOOOOOF IIIIIIIIT

Pokémon A is wearing a Lucky Egg and Pokémon B an Exp. Share.

1 vs 1 battle, Pokémon A is sent out and wins, and the player decides to send the exp to Pokémon B. How much experience does Pokémon B gain?

4, I suppose?

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

why four?

(Lucky Egg only doubles exp by knocking out iirc)

Right. I've been meaning to change the effects of EXP Share for a while; the new ones should be easier to understand:

EXP Share ($15/$9): A bizarre device worn on a pokémon's head that bristles with wires and rods of unknown purpose. If this item is equipped to any number of pokémon in a trainer's active squad that is not used in a battle, those pokémon and a pokémon that actually battles evenly split the EXP earned, rounded down. Thus, if a pokémon that fights would earn 2 EXP and one of its teammates has an EXP share, it instead earns one and the holder of the EXP share earns one. If the fighting pokémon would instead earn one EXP, neither gets anything at the end of the battle.

Pokémon A is wearing a Lucky Egg and Pokémon B an Exp. Share.

1 vs 1 battle, Pokémon A is sent out and wins, and the player decides to send the exp to Pokémon B. How much experience does Pokémon B gain?

One each. If there were a second pokémon with EXP Share, all three would earn one.

 

[Karkat Vantas]

Is this change retroactive, or does it come into effect during the August update?

 

[Negrek]

It affects all battles started after the time that I posted that message above.

 

[Byrus]

How exactly did it work before?

 

[Karkat Vantas]

At the end of a battle, you may choose to give all of a Pokémon's gained experience during the battle to the mon holding the EXP share.

 

[bulbasaur]

Is it possible for a Pokémon to be both Poisoned and ToxicPoisoned?
