The Fast experience group is one of the four experience groups introduced in Generation I, with 800,000 experience points making for a level 100 Pokémon. Many common {{type|Normal}} Pokémon are in this group, among them the {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}} families. | The Fast experience group is one of the four experience groups introduced in Generation I, with 800,000 experience points making for a level 100 Pokémon.

Among all Pokémon, the most plentiful experience group is the Medium Fast group, which was also introduced in Generation I. Requiring Pokémon to have an even 1,000,000 experience points to be at level 100, it is by far the most average of the experience groups, and the one with the simplest equation: to be at a given level, any Pokémon in this group requires experience equal to that level {{wp|cube (algebra)|cubed}}. This group is also often called "cubic", due to its function being a simple cube of the level. | Among all Pokémon, the most plentiful experience group is the Medium Fast group, which was also introduced in Generation I.

The Medium Slow experience group, like the Medium Fast group, accounts for many Pokémon, containing the second largest amount of them. All normal [[starter Pokémon]] are in this group, as are several smaller legendaries, such as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. Requiring 1,059,860 experience points for a Pokémon to reach level 100, it is the only experience group whose level 100 experience is not evenly divisible by 10,000. | The Medium Slow experience group, like the Medium Fast group, accounts for many Pokémon, containing the second largest amount of them.

The {{wp|inflection point}} for this polynomial function is actually at level 4, not level 0. Thus, it actually takes more experience points to go from level 2 to 3 than it does to go from 4 to 5. In Generations I and II, this mislocation of the inflection point causes the experience underflow glitch. | The {{wp|inflection point}} for this polynomial function is actually at level 4, not level 0.

The starter Pokémon are all at level 5 at the start, and are all in the Medium Slow group, so it appears that the Medium Slow group's experience formula was calculated with the starter Pokémon in mind. It is the only function to do so - all the other functions, being simple multiples of the cube of the level, have inflection points at Level 0, meaning that the number of experience points required to advance one level will always increase as the level increases because the level is positive. <!-- speculation at its finest, but it has a point. --> | The starter Pokémon are all at level 5 at the start, and are all in the Medium Slow group, so it appears that the Medium Slow group's experience formula was calculated with the starter Pokémon in mind.

After a Pokémon is defeated, each member of the team will gain the full share of experience points.
