The EXP Share evenly distributes the amount of EXP each Pokemon gets in battle.

Only reason to not use it is if you want your game to take longer. Which can be valid with how short these games are.

I use it when it’s a held Item to help get a new Pokemon up to par, but since it’s been a Key Item, no.

In UM I used it a bit when grinding.

At the aether arc after finishing the third island and difficulty has actually been not bad. All of my party is only moderately leveled so it makes it at least not completely braindead.

I played with it on but didn’t use Refresh so I didn’t get boosted Exp. It actually feels balanced this time around if you have it on but don’t get the boost from Refresh, eliminates the need for grinding entirely and doesn’t leave you obscenely over leveled like it did in 6 regardless of Amie usage.

You can leave it on for replays if you don’t feel like grinding now and not be over leveled, it’s nice.

Even just 6 is fine as long as you don’t use Refresh, the XP boost doesn’t seem that big at first but by the end of the game the difference is night and day, you might even say the difference is Sun and Moon.

It does give you extra exp, but not nearly as much as it used to in XY.
They toned it down.

They fixed it in Gen 7, if you leave it on but don’t use any Exp. boosting methods then a full team of 6 will be around the same level as enemy trainers for most of the game, they actually balanced it properly unlike Gen 6.

I always want to use more than 6 in USUM, changing half the team just because at any point makes Exp Share convenient. It doesn't feel overleveled, and using Refresh only for status conditions saves money. The only overkill so far is keeping Magnemite with Thunder Wave + Sturdy

I could not be bothered with levelling up Pokemon one by one. I don't use it any longer because I only catch Pokemon I want and will breed and use.

essentially it gives you instances of experience now. lets say you get 2000 experience from a kill, the second instance of 2000 is split among the other 5
in xy it would give 2000 to every other pokemon

So for example's sake, let's say you earn 5000 EXP from defeating a powerful Pokemon, and you have a full team of six

The Pokemon that was victorious gets the full 5000 EXP
While it splits for the rest of the team, and since there are five other Pokemon to distribute the EXP to, the rest of the team all get 1000 EXP each?

I'm using it on and off. Right now it's on because I've realised I'm severely underlevelled for Lusamine.

If only I had Probopass. Too bad I can't get him until fucking near the end of the game.

Ultra Sun was the first time I played without the exp share on at all.

It was alright, but I liked having stronger Pokemon ready at post-game. The only thing that really determined the difficulty of battles for me was speed, anyway. I honestly would rather use it.

How it works exactly in Gen 6 is that all Pokemon that participate in a battle against a specific opponent Pokemon get full XP once that opponent Pokemon faints, while all other Pokemon on your team get half of the full yield XP. So if you have only one Pokemon participate in a fight and have a full team of six, you get 250% more XP with XP Share on (50% × 5).

I believe that it's the same way in Gen 7, except that XP yields also scale up and down inversely to a specific Pokemon's level.

I had it off from the moment I got it, but after reaching Nanu I turned it on again because of the intense level-spike during that part of the game and I didn't want to grind. I turned it off again once I wasn't behind no more. When I reached Ultra Necrozma, my team was around all Lv. 53.

I did in Moon, since I wasn't really looking for difficulty, but by the end of the game I didn't like how my team was leveling up uniformly rather than naturally since I like to rotate my team (namely who is sent out first) based on levels.

So I'm not using it at all this time.

Yeah, but I used a rotation of pokemon rather than a set team of six. In the end, I had 21 pokemon I was using and even with the exp share, I was underleveled except for my starter.
