I was about to post a thread about this, actually.
The math is hard to determine here. It can be argued that half the experience goes to the non-battling party members and half goes to the ones battling. But then, what if five members battle? Does one non-battling member trump the others on experience? Doesn't seem right. I think it gets split among all six (or five, four, etc. if others fainted).
EDIT: So I just checked numbers on a battle. Zigzagoon needs 169 to level up. She gained 123 just now, leaving 46. Math checks out. There must be a strange formula deciding what everyone gets. I'm going to test some scenarios. Will report back.
EXPERIMENT 1: Zigzagoon defeated a Lv.6 Bunnelby for 40 Exp. Azurill gained 20 Exp. Hmm. Next test I'll have all numbers noted and will see what happens to everybody each battle.
