How to Evolve Pokemon Quickly
If you're looking to level up a specific Pokemon quickly, then you're in luck. Pokemon Sword and Shield have the 'Exp. Share' feature automatically turned on, which means that no matter which Pokemon you send out from your party to battle, all the other five Pokemon in your party will earn a smaller amount of XP when the battle is over and won.

This is really useful, because it allows you to level up weaker Pokemon without putting them in combat. Instead, you can send out one strong Pokemon into combat, while having as many weak Pokemon in the rest of your party as you want, and the weaker ones will get a nice chunk of XP at the end of the battle.
