Which is better; Exp. Share or Sub-in sub-out?

Apr. 30, 2014

As I go through the Elite Four in X and Y to get my newly trained Pokemon up, I’m wondering if by subbing them in then out is better than the Exp. Share. Please help me, I want to get through it fast and effectively.

Well, the Experience Share is very good for leveling up weak Pokémon without having to use up a turn each time the opponent sends out another Pokémon. However, as you may know, Pokémon who only gain experience via the Exp. Share willonly get half the experiencefrom battling and will not get boosts, i.e. from being traded or with the Lucky Egg.But my recommendation would be to just use the Exp. Share. It is far less annoying than having to switch over and over, and without wasting turns, you won’t need to use many healing items if your Pokémon are powerful enough.

But if the reason you’re going through the Elite Four is to level up your Pokémon, I have a couple of much better ideas.

Method #1: Fast and efficient, gives you money

Method #2: Easy Way
