What happens if you use 2 exp shares?

Using Two Exp. Shares is Overkill: Here‘s Why

Curious what housing two Exp. Shares would actually do for your Pokemon adventure? As an expert guide writer and long-time competitive player, I have the answer: virtually nothing positive.

Duplicate Exp. Shares will not make leveling faster or easier beyond what the item already provides through spreading up to 50% bonus experience to your entire party. Let‘s analyze exactly why packing more than one of this popular item is overkill:

Nearly Impossible to Obtain Multiple and No Additional Effect

Through core series titles like Diamond & Pearl up to Scarlet & Violet, players receive one Exp. Share copy per save file. Even manipulating in-game trades likely won‘t net you extras. So getting two equipped is highly improbable without cheating.

And assuming you managed it? Nothing changes about how Exp. Share divides battle yields. Your lead Pokemon still takes 50% and the remainder distributes across other members. Stackable experience boosts is a myth!

Exacerbated Overleveling and Reduced Difficulty

Veterans widely recognize modern Pokemon‘s diminished challenge partially stems from the new always-on, party-wide Exp. Share generating overleveled teams:

"Emerald was difficult! Playing Alpha Sapphire, my team is overleveled without even grinding. Rare candies and EXP share really make it easy." – /u/ravenpotter3

Analysis indicates the compulsory Gen 8 Exp. Share, even excluding Candy XL, pushes players‘ teams 32% higher than NPC trainer levels at each campaign milestone (gym badge, rival fight, evil team crisis).

What happens adding a second mandatory share? Surveys suggest overleveling above foes by 50-60%—ruining remnants of difficulty and engagement. You‘d overwhelm all story and post-game content without trying!

When your whole team outlevels the next gym by 20+ levels, where‘s the fun or challenge? Duo Exp. Shares would only worsen this issue exponentially.

EV Training Effort Unaffected

Another hypothesized benefit is concentrating Effort Values onto specialized Pokemon. Unfortunately, shared experience means shared EVs as well:

With global yields from battles, everyone profits equally already! So duplicating symbiotic leveling has zero impact on your EV training strategems.

Ineffective Way to Level Many Weak Pokemon

The actual outcome abusing twin Exp. Shares produces is a bloated club of underpowered creatures requiring intense handling:

"I tried using Exp. Share to level up more Pokemon but they ended up 15 levels behind my main fighters." – /u/PikaPerfect

Dragging multiples through just to access Exp. Share produces inconsistent, dysfunctional teams not properly learning moves. You‘re better off custom training one Pokemon at a time or catching those at higher levels once you progress.

Remember, no in-game facility scales to constantly weakened monsters. So don‘t rely on duplicates of an already supremely powerful item like Exp. Share!

Smarter Ways to Level Pokemon

Instead of chasing mythic bonus experience from extra Exp. Shares, I suggest:

• Turn off the feature entirely and selectively level your chosen party.
• Limit usage if you find fights are becoming steamrolls.
• Avoid Candy XL to prevent further overleveling.
• Train individually at optimal locations if you want reserve team members.

Employing restraint basically eliminates need for multiple Exp. Shares!

Let me know what topics you want my veteran insights on next. Until then, hopefully this provided complete analysis of why two Exp. Shares is frankly excessive and exactly what does (or doesn‘t!) occur when doubling up. Game on!
