Wondering whether you can turn off Exp Share in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl? The most important aspect of being a Trainer in Sinnoh is leveling up your ‘mon to ensure sure they can win in any battle that comes their way. Exp Share can help to do just that, but not using it provides more of a challenge.
Leveling up each Pokemon individually in the franchise can be a total pain – we all know the feeling. Our jobs as Trainers are made slightly easier with the Exp Share item, which literally does what it says on the tin by sharing Experience Points around your team.
It is an invaluable piece of equipment that is invaluable in everyone’s kit – so, to learn how to find one in the original Pokemon Diamond & Pearl as well as whether you can turn it off in the remakes, keep on reading.

Where to get Exp Share in the original Pokemon Diamond & Pearl
Exp Share Method #1: Cycling Road
Luckily, you can get your hands on the Exp Share quite early on in your Sinnoh adventure. There are two prerequisites before you can, though:
- Beat the second Gym Leader, Gardenia, in Eterna City.
- Record at least 35 entries in your Sinnoh Pokedex.
- Once you’ve done those, head to the Cycling Road.
- There is a building at the entrance, and inside, you’ll see Professor Rowan’s assistant, who will check your Pokedex and then gift you with the Held Item.
Exp Share Method #2: Lottery
The second, more difficult way of obtaining one is through the Lottery system. Go to the TV Station in Jubilife City and then to the Lottery Corner. Like the Master Ball, an extra Exp Share can be won if a number matches up to any of your Pokemon IDs.

This is pure luck, though, and some Trainers may never get it. Still, it’s worth trying every day because you never know – you may just end up with two and be able to level up multiple ‘mon at once like a pro.
So, there you have it – everything you need to know about Exp Share in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.
