6th Gen Delayed Evolution = Boosted Experience?

[waveguidebuizel]

So my chespin has been getting boosted experience for a while now, and I noticed that it started around the time I cancelled its evolution. It seems that if you cancel an evolution, you get a boost in experience points, but I can't be sure right now, as I've yet to test this with another pokémon. Has anyone else seen this? Or is there another factor I'm forgetting?

I think it has to do with friendship. My Chespin got boosted experience around the same time his friendship level reached 3/5 hearts in Pokemon-Amie. The same thing happened to my Charmeleon as well.

I believe that next to dodging moves and scoring more critical hits, boosted experience is another perk to using Pokemon-Amie.

It's the Exp. Share. When you turn it on it says that you get boosted exp. :P

So I assumed it was, but it isn't, sorry! I have no idea but my Eevee has all 5 affection amie hearts so it may be that?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I only got chespin up to two hearts so far in Amie. I think helioptile's at two now as well, and he doesn't get boosted experience. Also, I turned off the Exp. Share after one battle.

No, I'm getting boosted experience on all my pokemon and I didn't delay their evolution. (they're not traded pokemon either)

I play with them a lot in amie, so I assume that's what's causing it.

Okay, just checked. Helioptile's at two hearts now, and he is getting boosted experience! But the boost is less than Chespin's for some reason.

Yes, the more hearts in Amie your Pokémon has, the higher the boost~

Yeah, it deals with affection. Using the befriend o-power helps too.
