Do you get bonus Exp. for defeating more than one Pokemon in a horde battle?

Say I use Surf and KO all five pokes, do I get any bonus Exp. for that?

You do not get any bonus exp. for sweeping a horde in one move.

After testing this further, I have found that you do not get any bonus experience for sweeping a horde of wild pokémon.

I used two pokémon to test this; a locally traded (1.5x exp.) Venusaur, and my own Hippopotas.

n.b. - I fainted all five opposing pokémon in one move.

Test 1: 5x Level 23 Durants, Terminus Cave. Traded Pokémon

What I would normally get for 5 single Durants:

What I received:

Test 2: 4x Level 8 Zangoose + 1x Level 8 Seviper, Route 8. Traded Pokémon

What I would normally get for 4 single Zangoose + 1 Seviper:

What I received:

Test 3: 4x Level 8 Zangoose + 1x Level 8 Seviper, Route 8. My Own Pokémon

What I would normally get for 4 single Zangoose + 1 Seviper:

What I received:

If anything, what this little experiment has uncovered is that Gamefreak’s rounding system is a little odd, or they purposely decrease the amount of experience by approximately 5 points for some reason. Either way…

…no bonus experience.

I’m pretty sure the experience earned is the total amount of accumulated Exp multiplied by the amount of pokémon defeated by one attack.

Example:

Defeating 2 Pokémon with one attack:100exp + 100exp = 200exp X 2 =400exp

Defeating all Pokémon with one attack:100exp + 100exp + 100exp +100exp +100exp = 500exp X 5 =2500exp

Yes you do :OI’m not sure how much though, but you even get a message saying that you get extra experience (well, its more like “You fainted all 5” and you get like a chunk of points)Source: Experience.

Also I don’t know the boost that it is, so don’t BA me if someone puts in the percent increase.
