In-game Description Turning on this special device will allow all the Pokémon on your team to receive Exp. Points from battles.

After helping Wally catch Ralts in Petalburg City, you can obtain the EXP Share Key Item in Petalburg Woods. It will be given to you by a Devon scientist when you save him from a Team Magma or Team Aqua grunt, depending on which version you’re playing (Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire).
