Leveling up Pokémon can be hard. Read this guide to help you level your Pokémon up in Pokémon Black and White!
Steps
-
1Battle Wild Pokémon or trainers around your Pokémon's level or higher. Audino is a good Wild Pokémon to battle, since it's a commonly-found Pokémon that gives a lot of experience. You can find one in shaking grass.
-
2Give your Pokémon a Lucky Egg, which you receive from Professor Juniper at Chargestone Cave.Advertisement
-
3Give two other Pokémon Exp. Share. You can find Exp. Share in Castelia City and in Icirrus City.
-
4Try to get the Pokérus. Pokérus is a Pokémon virus, which causes your Pokémon to grow better. There is no guaranteed way to get it, but you can catch it from wild Pokémon on special occasions.
-
5Try trading your Pokémon to a friend, then get them to trade back. This will cause the Pokémon to level up faster.
Rustling Grass
This can be a fast way to level up.
-
1After you get the first badge, you have access to rustling grass. Most times it will be Audino but on small occasions there will be others.
-
2Fight these special Pokémon. This will give you more experience than the other Pokémon you run into in the tall grass.
-
3Keep trying. Rustling grass will come up every once in a while. The best thing to do is walk/run next to grass, but not in it, until the grass moves.

QuestionI battled in Pokemon Black, but my Pokemon don't get experience points. What's wrong?
Lugia2453Top AnswererThis means that you're playing a pirated copy of the game, in which Pokemon don't level up because of the game's copy protection. They'll level up if you get a store-bought copy of the game. -
QuestionWhy does my Pokemon only get a small amount of XP when I fight Audino, even with the lucky egg?
Community AnswerYour Pokemon may be one that has a slow XP gain (i.e Metang or Braviary). Or, your Pokemon could be at such a high level that XP gain is lowered. -
QuestionIs the Pokérus contagious to other Pokémon?
Community AnswerYes, it is.
Warnings
- Pokerus only lasts 24 hours, but to keep it, you can put one Pokémon with Pokerus in your PC box.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- To make other Pokémon in your party get Pokerus, you can do double battles, or start off with one Pokémon (that has Pokerus) and switch to another in the middle of a battle.⧼thumbs_response⧽
