Pokemon Tower Defense 1 Experience

Gaining Experience Points

Aside from learning new skills, a Pokemon gains status increases by leveling up - their HP, damage and other stats will rise and make them more effective against other Pokemon. This is why having a level 90 Fearow is better than having a level 50 Spearow. Here are a few tips for getting your Pokemon to increase levels as fast as possible.

To maximize experience gain:

• Enemies that a Pokemon attacks and defeats yield experience points.
• Experience points are split evenly among all towers that participated in defeating the enemy.
• Place the Pokemon you want to level up closest to the enemy spawn point to ensure they receive a share of the experience, regardless of who delivers the final blow.

Pokemon earn experience points when an enemy they attack dies. The experience points (exp) are then split evenly among the towers that attacked the target. This means that if three towers attack and kill an enemy Pokemon, they equally share the exp gain. To earn the most exp, place the Pokemon you want to prioritize in leveling at the closest possible position to the enemy spawn point. This ensures that regardless of who gets to kill the enemy, the primary Pokemon still gets a share of the exp.

To make this strategy more effective, it is important that your main Pokemon is able to attack as many of the enemies as possible, rather than focusing on killing them. One good strategy is to use an attack that hits multiple targets; try the ice beam attack for starters. If you are in a corner of a path - like in chapter 4, route 8, an attack with a radial area of effect is pretty effective. Status effect abilities also apply, so try an ability that slows enemies down and prioritize "fastest" targets first. This will allow your Pokemon to target one enemy after another, maximizing the number of enemies hit and thus the exp gained.

If the main Pokemon you are leveling is relatively weak (like a level 1 gained from a trade or a low-tier wild Pokemon), it is likely that they would not have any powerful attacks that can kill enemies easily. The next Pokemon in the line should have a really powerful attack - possibly one that is able to kill enemies instantly. This is why the next Pokemon should be your most powerful one. The logic here is that this will ensure that the experience points split is reduced as much as possible, allowing the weaker Pokemon to gain more exp quickly.

Additionally, it's important to consider the type of enemies you'll be facing on each stage. Knowing the types and weaknesses of your opponents can help you choose the best attacks and Pokemon to maximize your efficiency. For example, if you're facing a lot of grass-type Pokemon, having a fire-type Pokemon in your team can help clear them out quickly, allowing your main Pokemon to get more hits in and gain more exp. Similarly, using items like experience share can help spread the exp more evenly among your team, ensuring that all your Pokemon level up together and become stronger as a unit.

To optimize leveling:

• Use attacks that hit multiple targets or have area-of-effect (AoE) damage, like Ice Beam or radial AoE abilities, to maximize the number of enemies attacked.
• Utilize status effect abilities, prioritizing enemies tagged as "fastest" to maintain a continuous flow of targets for your Pokemon.
• If leveling a weaker Pokemon (e.g., low-level or traded Pokemon), pair them with a stronger Pokemon that can deliver finishing blows to reduce the splitting of experience points.
