Experience



The amount of experience (Japanese:  experience) an individual Pokémon has is an indication of how much it has battled. In the games, it is quantified as Experience Points (Japanese:  Experience Points), which a Pokémon can gain in by defeating an opponent Pokémon without fainting. After a certain amount of experience points have been gained, a Pokémon will grow a level, all the way up to level 100, where a Pokémon will no longer gain experience (in the first two generations, the game will still erroneously state that it has gained experience points).
