Learn about the trade bonus and Lucky Egg EXP multipliers in Pokémon Platinum. Understand how Base EXP affects your gains.
- Pokémon must be traded to your game.
- The traded Pokémon must be holding a Lucky Egg.
Walkthrough
- 1The base EXP calculation is: Special Bonuses (Base Exp x Opponent Pokemon's Level / 7).
- 2A traded Pokémon receives a 1.5x bonus to the calculated EXP.
- 3If the traded Pokémon is also holding a Lucky Egg, this 1.5x bonus is applied again, resulting in a total of 2.25x EXP (1.5 x 1.5).
- 4The source notes that some Pokémon, like Chansey, may have hidden decimal values in their Base EXP, making exact calculations difficult without consulting game code.
- 5For example, battling a Level 59 Chansey with a base EXP of 255, a traded Pokémon with a Lucky Egg would gain approximately 7479 EXP (calculated as 1.5 x 1.5 x (255 x 59 / 7)).
- 6Battling a Level 59 Rapidash with a base EXP of 192, a traded Pokémon with a Lucky Egg gains exactly 5460 EXP (calculated as 1.5 x 1.5 x (192 x 59 / 7)).
- 7The maximum EXP obtainable in a single battle is estimated to be around 12,000 for a Pokémon with a base EXP of 255, potentially reaching up to 72,000 EXP if battling six Level 100 Pokémon with high base EXP, though this scenario is not possible in Pokémon Platinum.
