Do you gain Xp from arena battles?

[Nemesis]

Arena battles are all I have been doing and my meter is almost full for its level.

However I checked it after a single battle and xp points did not go up

That’s because as you already suspected, you don’t earn XP from arena battles. The XP you do earn in normal battles are shown as blue stars dropped by the pigs. No stars means no XP.
