  • Frostbite is healed by refresh
  • Frostbite boosts Guts, Facade, and similar effects/abilities
  • Frostbite increases the catch rate by 50% instead of the 100% offered by being frozen

Experience System

Pokemon Voyager combines aspects of older-generation and newer-generation Pokemon for its experience system. Exp. Share and Exp. All are both obtainable items which can be dynamically deployed to adhere to your preferred playstyle. Whatever your configuration, the total amount of experience gained by your party remains the same, so all configurations should fit well into Voyager's level curve.

Exp. Share

The Exp. Share is a held item. A Pokemon in your party holding one gains experience and effort values though it had participated in the battle. A Pokemon in that participates in the battle while also holding an Exp. Share gains an extra share of experience.

Exp. All

The Exp. All is a key item obtained early in your journey. It has several different modes which distribute earned experience to your party in different ways.

  • Off: experience is distributed only to battle participants and Exp. Share holders.
  • Even: experience is distributed evenly amongst all party members. Pokemon holding Exp. Share count as two party members and get an extra share of earned experience.
  • Skew: experience is distributed throughout your party, with lower-level Pokemon earning more experience. The amount of experience each party member earns is based on the proportion of its level to the total level of your whole party. Pokemon holding Exp. Share are treated as though they are half of their current level.

In contrast to experience points, effort values are gained only by Pokemon who participated in the battle or Pokemon holding an Exp. Share. Pokemon who meet neither condition do not gain effort values.

When the Exp. All is on, a window appears each time you defeat a Pokemon during battle to detail the way that experience is distributed to your party.
