Why Don’t You Have Exp Share in Pokemon Emerald?
You don’t have Exp Share because it is not given automatically in Pokemon Emerald.
Why It Feels Missing
You have been playing for a while but never received Exp Share.
Because it is such a common item, it can feel like you should have gotten it naturally during the story.
How to Get Exp Share
- Deliver the Letter to Steven in Dewford
- Return to Rustboro City
- Talk to the Devon President
He will give you the Exp Share.
Important
If you do not go back to the Devon President after delivering the Letter, you will not receive Exp Share.

Related Moments
In Short
Exp Share is easy to miss because it requires you to return to the Devon President after delivering the Letter, and it is not given automatically during progression.
