About this converter

Red and Blue pay base EXP per species from 53 to 255 before level math. Caterpie opens at 53, bulbasaur and mew tie at 64, charmander at 65, squirtle at 66, pikachu at 82, raichu at 122, ivysaur at 141, charmeleon at 142, wartortle at 143, snorlax at 154, venusaur at 208, charizard at 209, blastoise at 210, articuno at 215, dragonite at 218, mewtwo at 220 and chansey at 255. That makes one chansey equal almost five caterpies at base. Every value here is the Red base yield with real battle gains scaling on top.

How to use it

Pick two Pokemon and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in XP. Try 1 Chansey against Caterpies.

Real EXP divides by 7 times level plus bonuses for trainer, traded and lucky egg, which stay out of base rows. Pikachu lists 82 in Gen I and 112 later, so the table pins 82 with the variant noted. Catch rates run on the companion catch page with the same dex set.
