How Do I Get Exp. Share in Crystal?

"Pokemon Crystal" for the Game Boy Color is the sixth main game in the Pokemon franchise. In "Pokemon Crystal," you play as a character who goes on an adventure with his Pokemon. Nintendo introduced the Exp. Share in "Pokemon Crystal," "Pokemon Gold" and "Pokemon Silver." When a Pokemon holds the Exp. Share, it will gain half of the experience points from every battle, even if the Pokemon didn't fight. The Pokemon with the Exp. Share also will receive the full amount of Effort Values. A fainted Pokemon holding the Exp. Share will not receive experience points.

Instructions

  Head north of Mahogany Town and fight all the Pokemon trainers on Route 43. Defeat any wild Pokemon you come across. At the end of Route 43, you will reach the Lake of Rage, also known as Gyarados Lake.
