Tags: pokemon-diamond-pearl-and-platinum, in-depth-guides, pageid3EC3BDE43

Each Pokémon species belongs in one of six growth rates. Each growth rate determines the number of Exp. Points required to level up, from level 1 through 100.

The Exp. Points table shows the number of Exp. Points for each growth rate and level.

The Growth Rates list shows which Pokémon species belong in which growth rates.

Here are the six growth rates:

• Erratic - Max: 600,000 Exp. Points
  • Formula for levels 1-50: Level*Level*Level*(100-Level)/50
  • Formula for levels 51-68: Level*Level*Level*(150-Level)/100
  • Formula for levels 69-97: Level*Level*Level*(N+(10*(Level-68)/3)-(Level*10))/1000 where N is 1501 if Level is divisible by 3, and 1500 otherwise
  • Formula for levels 98-100: Level*Level*Level*(160-Level)/100
• Fast - Max: 800,000 Exp. Points
  • Formula: (Level*Level*Level*4/5)
• Medium - Max: 1,000,000 Exp. Points
  • Formula: (Level*Level*Level)
• Parabolic - Max: 1,059,860 Exp. Points
  • Formula: (Level*Level*Level*6/5)-15*Level*Level+100*Level-140
• Slow - Max: 1,250,000 Exp. Points
  • Formula: (Level*Level*Level*5/4)
• Fluctuating - Max: 1,640,000 Exp. Points
  • Formula for levels 1-15: Level*Level*Level*(24+((Level+1)/3))/50
  • Formula for levels 16-35: Level*Level*Level*(14+Level)/50
  • Formula for levels 36-100: Level*Level*Level*(31+Level/2)/50
