Tags: pokemon-red-blue-and-yellow, in-depth-guides, growth-rates

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

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

Here are the four growth rates:

  • Fast - Max: 800,000 Exp. Points
    • Formula: floor(Level*Level*Level*4/5)
  • Medium - Max: 1,000,000 Exp. Points
    • Formula: (Level*Level*Level)
  • Parabolic - Max: 1,059,860 Exp. Points
    • Formula: floor(Level*Level*Level*6/5)-15*Level*Level+100*Level-140
  • Slow - Max: 1,250,000 Exp. Points
    • Formula: floor(Level*Level*Level*5/4)

The parabolic Exp. Point value at level 1 is -54, truncated to a 24-bit unsigned value, 16,777,162.
