Exp. Point and Hatching Powers will save a lot of time training and breeding Pokemon.
Players of Black/White/Black 2/White 2 may recall a multiplayer-related ability called “Pass Powers”. Pass Powers and O-Powers are quite similar: they give you some sort of additional boost or help in the game, or send them through the Internet or local Wi-Fi to other players, not necessarily people you’re even Friends!
O-Powers are found by speaking with the “Mr. Bonding” character: he recurrently appears in hotels or Pokémon Centers of new towns, and simply speaking with him will give you a new power.
These powers will cost you a little bit of energy. Energy can max out at ten total units, and regeneration is caused by walking around to accumulate steps. You will earn a point of energy for having gotten less than 2,000 steps; two points for 2,000 to 2,999 steps; three points for 3,000 to 3,999 steps; and four from there on out.
Repeated use of the O-Powers should also increase their level, increasing the length they take effect in, and the intensity of the effect, but also the cost. Fair warning!
