## Exp. Share & Lucky Egg

In Generation III the **Exp. Share** is a **held item**, not a party-wide toggle. Give it to a Pokémon and it earns a share of the experience — and the EVs — from every battle its team wins, even if it never enters the fight. It's the cleanest way to raise an under-levelled or fragile Pokémon: bench it, let the rest of your team do the work, and it still grows.

The **Lucky Egg** is a held item that boosts the holder's own experience gain by **50%**. It stacks with the experience bonus a traded Pokémon already receives, so a traded Pokémon holding a Lucky Egg levels remarkably fast.

The Lucky Egg has no shop source — it's a **rare wild held item on Chansey**, carried only about 5% of the time, so catching (or stealing with Thief) a Chansey holding one is a notable prize.
