In the [[ | In the [[core series]], it is free to put a Pokémon into the Day Care, and costs {{PDollar}}100 plus an additional {{PDollar}}100 for each level gained to take a Pokémon out. | ||
Many Trainers regard Day Cares as an inferior method of raising Pokémon for several reasons. Aside from the cost, which can rack up quickly for lower-level Pokémon (as they require less experience to gain a level than a higher-leveled one), Pokémon will not [[evolution|evolve]] while in Day Care, even if they meet the requirements to. The moves Pokémon learn while in Day Care are also based solely on level-up: if a Pokémon is raised to a level at which a new move would be learned, the topmost move in its current moveset will be deleted, and the new move will be placed at the bottom of the moveset. This may result in a Pokémon learning unwanted moves, while forgetting ones which were carefully selected for it. For example, it is possible for a Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle to forget both by learning level up moves whilst stored as such. | Many Trainers regard Day Cares as an inferior method of raising Pokémon for several reasons.
