If you read my OP you'll see I'm asking if he's right.
You played yourself.

I don't know the specifics of the system, but that sounds like it could be right. I get several thousand exp per catch as long as it isn't something I've already caught at least 10 of. The more I catch the more exp I get.

Sounds like it could be right, probably helps with level scaling as it becomes harder and harder to gain a level. I think right now I'm getting 1100xp per capture, of Pals I don't have more than 10 catches of.

Edit: That or the game scales with your level rather than how many pals you catch.

Either it works the way they say it does or it's a flat amount for each pal for the first 10 catches. Or it's a % of your exp.
But, yeah, you get a large chunk of bonus experience for the first 10 catches or hatches of each pal.

Thanks you all, so the best way to get XP from capturing is to get 10 Pal A, then 10 Pal B, and so on. Do you know if the order matter? Like, getting A, B, C, A, B, C... or just go A 10 times, then B 10 times? By the way, that special version (the ones making sound) is a different catch? I got a huge chicken in my first playtrough, I don't know if the game defines that by a different catch or the same, but rare/legendary.

It does not. The bonus is applied per numbered paldeck entry. No matter if its caught, liberated, hatched, or other. you get it, it counts. Lucky, big, boss, doesn't matter. That's also why humans don't grant a bonus, no paldeck entry.

[Dsc]

If you check your Pokedex Paldeck you can see how many of each thing you've caught. The special spawn ones are considered the same as the normal ones for the purposes of catch bonuses.

I did a hatch and catch method. I got a nightwing and it's harness and flew around collecting eggs, effigies and teleport points. And while the eggs were hatching I'd go out and catch pals or collect more eggs. Do what ever you find fun. You might find it boring just hunting 10 and then the next 10 and then the next 10.
I have hours where I don't get much exp and hours where I get two levels done.

Bosses and shiny pals are treated as a regular catch.

Thanks, good to know.
So, just get 10 of each, doesn't matter the order, doesn't matter the rarity.
