A '''Pokémon daycare''' is a place for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to drop off their [[Pokémon]] to be raised in the care of other people, usually an old [[Daycare Lady|couple]] or an old man. Pokémon left at a daycare gain [[experience]] based on how many steps the player takes.
[[File:Pokémon Day Care Entrance LGPE.png|thumb|250px|Inside the Day Care on [[Kanto Route 5]]]]
A '''Pokémon Day Care''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン　{{tt|育て屋|そだてや}}''' ''Pokémon Day Care'') is a place for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to drop off their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be raised in the care of other people. Most locations are staffed by a [[Day-Care Couple]], but some are only staffed by a Day-Care Man and one is staffed by the Day Care Lad and his older sister. Pokémon in Day Care gain one [[Experience|experience point]] per step the player takes. Where it is possible to leave two Pokémon, it is also possible for them to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} and produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s.


In the [[main series]], it is free to put a Pokémon into the daycare and to take it out costs {{PDollar}}100, plus an additional {{PDollar}}100 per level gained while in the daycare.
The Pokémon Day Care was removed after [[Generation VI]]. In [[Generation]]s {{gen|VII}} and {{gen|VIII}}, the [[Pokémon Nursery]] replaces it for breeding, while [[Poké Pelago#Isle Evelup|Isle Evelup in Poké Pelago]] and [[Poké Job]]s, respectively, replace its function of increasing experience and leveling up. In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], [[picnic]]s allow for breeding instead.


This is not a preferred method of Pokémon raising for many reasons. Aside from the cost, Pokémon will not [[Evolution|evolve]] while in a Pokémon daycare, though if ready they evolve if raised one level after being taken out of the daycare.  The [[move]]s Pokémon learn in the Pokémon daycare will be dependent on level - the Pokémon will automatically learn new techniques and forget the old ones, including [[HM]] moves and [[egg moves]]. This problem is usually caused when all of the moves in that particular Pokémons' moveset move upward in their listing by one space each, which effectively eliminates the move listed at the top and adds the new move at the bottom of the list. This means that a Pokémon could end up learning unwanted moves, but this can be remedied with the [[move relearner]] depending on the deleted move or by changing the order of the moveset before putting that Pokémon into daycare to avoid losing more essential moves. In addition, a Pokémon can not gain [[EV]]s while left in the daycare.
==In the core series games==
The player can leave their Pokémon at Pokémon Day Care, where they gain experience over time. At Pokémon Day Care centers that can raise two Pokémon at once, if the player leaves a compatible pair of Pokémon, they will produce a [[Pokémon Egg]] in a process known as [[Pokémon breeding]]. All Pokémon Day Care centers except those in [[Kanto]] and [[Orre]] can raise two Pokémon at once, facilitating Pokémon breeding.


However, daycares are good for two things. One is leveling up Pokémon so that it's easier to record evolutions in the [[Pokédex]], without having to spend much time using the Pokémon in {{Pkmn|battle}}. The other use is {{pkmn|breeding}}.
Leaving a Pokémon at the Day Care is free, but withdrawing it will cost {{PDollar}}100 plus an additional {{PDollar}}100 for each level the Pokémon has gained while in Day Care. Any Pokémon left in the Day Care is completely healed.


Some Pokémon daycares can keep up to two Pokémon at a time. Pokémon kept there will occasionally breed and have a [[Pokémon egg]], if certain conditions are right. Breeding is not possible at Pokémon daycares that only raise one Pokémon at a time.
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Pokémon Day Care will initially only raise one Pokémon at a time; two Pokémon may be left after the player has received the [[Bicycle]] in [[Nimbasa City]]. In {{B2W2}}, the Pokémon Day Care is not accessible until the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], as [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is blocked until the player has completed the game.


In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], leaving a [[Shadow Pokémon]] in the daycare will help purify it. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], though, Shadow Pokémon are no longer allowed.
===Experience===
Pokémon left in the daycare gain 1 experience point per step walked by the {{player}}. As they level up in the Day Care, Pokémon will not undergo [[evolution]]. If a Pokémon reaches a level where it can learn a new move, it will always learn that move; if the Pokémon already knows four moves, all of its moves will be shifted up one move slot, so that it forgets its earliest known move, and the newly learned move is placed last. From Generation II{{fact}} onward, a Pokémon may even forget [[HM]] moves this way; in Generation I, the player cannot deposit Pokémon that know HM moves in Pokémon Day Care.


In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and [[Generation II|II]], when taking a Pokémon out of the daycare, its experience will reduce to the minimum experience necessary for its current level. Thus, if a Pokémon were to be left in the daycare and taken out without gaining a level, it will actually ''lose'' experience points.
In [[Generation II]] only, when a Pokémon is taken out of the Day Care, its experience will [[List of glitches (Generation II)#Day Care experience loss|lower to the minimum value for its current level]]. Therefore, if a Pokémon with more than the minimum amount for its level is deposited in the Day Care, and it is then withdrawn before it gains enough experience to level up, then it will effectively lose experience in the Day Care.


==Locations==
In {{g|Colosseum}}, if a [[Shadow Pokémon]] is left at the Day Care, it will gradually be [[purification|purified]]. In {{Pokémon XD}}, however, Shadow Pokémon can no longer be left at the Day Care.
[[Image:Daycare solaceon.PNG|thumb|left|The daycare in [[Solaceon Town]]]]

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The [[Day-Care Couple]] debuted in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]'', where they were visited by {{adv|Gold}}. The Day-Care Lady made Gold battle against a group of strong Pokémon, exploiting his desire to train by having him make the Pokémon exercise without her having to do anything.

** In this generation, a Pokémon in the Day Care can have up to 5,308,415 experience points (hexadecimal 50ffff) as seen in the internal game data. If the player attempts to raise its experience even higher, it will actually go down to 5,242,880 (hexadecimal 500000), because the first byte cannot have a value higher than hexadecimal 50. This ultimately prevents the experience from {{wp|integer overflow|overflowing}} all the way down to 0.

Inside the Day Care on Kanto Route 5

A Pokémon Day Care (Japanese: ポケモン　育て屋 Pokémon Day Care) is a place for Pokémon Trainers to drop off their Pokémon to be raised in the care of other people. Most locations are staffed by a Day-Care Couple, but some are only staffed by a Day-Care Man and one is staffed by the Day Care Lad and his older sister. Pokémon in Day Care gain one experience point per step the player takes. Where it is possible to leave two Pokémon, it is also possible for them to breed and produce Eggs.

The Pokémon Day Care was removed after Generation VI. In Generations VII and VIII, the Pokémon Nursery replaces it for breeding, while Isle Evelup in Poké Pelago and Poké Jobs, respectively, replace its function of increasing experience and leveling up. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, picnics allow for breeding instead.

In the core series games

The player can leave their Pokémon at Pokémon Day Care, where they gain experience over time. At Pokémon Day Care centers that can raise two Pokémon at once, if the player leaves a compatible pair of Pokémon, they will produce a Pokémon Egg in a process known as Pokémon breeding. All Pokémon Day Care centers except those in Kanto and Orre can raise two Pokémon at once, facilitating Pokémon breeding.

Leaving a Pokémon at the Day Care is free, but withdrawing it will cost $100 plus an additional $100 for each level the Pokémon has gained while in Day Care. Any Pokémon left in the Day Care is completely healed.

In Pokémon Black and White, the Pokémon Day Care will initially only raise one Pokémon at a time; two Pokémon may be left after the player has received the Bicycle in Nimbasa City. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the Pokémon Day Care is not accessible until the player has entered the Hall of Fame, as Skyarrow Bridge is blocked until the player has completed the game.

Experience

Pokémon left in the daycare gain 1 experience point per step walked by the player. As they level up in the Day Care, Pokémon will not undergo evolution. If a Pokémon reaches a level where it can learn a new move, it will always learn that move; if the Pokémon already knows four moves, all of its moves will be shifted up one move slot, so that it forgets its earliest known move, and the newly learned move is placed last. From Generation II[citation needed] onward, a Pokémon may even forget HM moves this way; in Generation I, the player cannot deposit Pokémon that know HM moves in Pokémon Day Care.

In Generation II only, when a Pokémon is taken out of the Day Care, its experience will lower to the minimum value for its current level. Therefore, if a Pokémon with more than the minimum amount for its level is deposited in the Day Care, and it is then withdrawn before it gains enough experience to level up, then it will effectively lose experience in the Day Care.

In Pokémon Colosseum, if a Shadow Pokémon is left at the Day Care, it will gradually be purified. In Pokémon XD, however, Shadow Pokémon can no longer be left at the Day Care.

Breeding

Main article: Pokémon breeding

If the player leaves two Pokémon of opposite genders and have an Egg Group in common at a Day Care, or any Pokémon that can breed and a Ditto, an Egg may be produced.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

The Day-Care Couple debuted in Gligar Glide, where they were visited by Gold. The Day-Care Lady made Gold battle against a group of strong Pokémon, exploiting his desire to train by having him make the Pokémon exercise without her having to do anything. During the training, Gold's Cyndaquil ended up evolving into a Quilava. The Day-Care Couple then gave Gold a King's Rock as a reward for completing the training.

In Popular Pupitar, Yellow and her uncle Wilton were brought to the Route 34 Day Care to recover after they had almost drowned at the Whirl Islands. Red and Yellow's respective Pikachu, Pika and Chuchu, ended up producing an Egg together, which would later hatch into Gold's Pichu. In The Last Battle VII, the Day Care was attacked by members of Neo Team Rocket, who were after the Rainbow and Silver Wings that Yellow unknowingly had in her possession.

Platinum arc

In The Final Dimensional Duel XI, the Day-Care Couple was revealed to have moved to Solaceon Town in Sinnoh to run the local Day Care. They helped Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum in taking care of the Manaphy and Phione that they had hatched and told them of a boy they knew who had a special talent of making Eggs hatch.

Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

In Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys, the Day-Care Couple is portrayed as young adults, as opposed to the usual older couple. In Let's Use Fighting Type Pokémon!!, they invited Gold to a tournament at the Goldenrod Game Corner, which was held using rental Pokémon provided by the Day Care.

In A Huge Mysterious Tree!!, the Day-Care Couple gave Gold a Pokémon Egg.

Trivia

  • In Generation II only, if a Pokémon with a level lower than 100 is deposited in the Day Care, it will be able to keep gaining experience even after reaching level 100. However, this only affects the internal data and is not seen in normal gameplay, because the experience of a level 100 Pokémon resets to the expected amount once it is withdrawn from the Day Care.
