== Roselia... ==

My {{p|Roselia}} was put in the Pokémon Daycare, after it had evolved from {{p|Budew}}. I left it there at Lv.14 and when I took it out at Lv.50, I had found that the [[Move]]s it knew had changed. By the way, the [[HM]] move [[Cut|it knew]] was also changed. Anyway, I went to the [[Move relearner]] because I wanted to get {{m|Leech Seed}} back, but when I got there, it wasn't on the list. So can somebody nice explain this to me.

P.S. I evolved my Roselia into {{p|Roserade}} but it did not make a difference when I tried to have it remember it's move.

:If you evolved it, then yes it makes a difference. :< Roserade cannot learn Leech Seed - look it up.

:::Roserade doesn't have Leech Seed on its level up list, but Roselia does. It's always like that for Stone evolvers, always has been. As for forgetting Cut, well that's weird.

Is it worth mentioning that HM users could not go into daycare at all in RBY?  [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 22:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Isn't, uh, Route 5 near Saffron? <span style="background:#FF9030">'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#000000">chidna</span>]]</span>{{ani|155|Fire echy}}<span style="background:#664444">[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|<sup><span style="color:#FFD700">G</span></sup><sub><span style="color:#E0E0E0">S</span></sub><span style="color:#000000">DS!</span>]]'''</span> 18:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Useful ==

In Gen III, if you put a Pokémon in the Daycare, you can go to one of the sand slopes, like in the desert, and if you tape down the up button and leave your system on on the charger, it will level them up easy. (Yes, I know about the disadvantages, but it is technically legal and also free, no Replay). [[User:Theininen|Theininen]] 02:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:You can also do that in Gen. IV with the floor panels in [[Fuego Ironworks]]. But how would that fit into the article? --[[User:Clorox|Clorox]] ([[User talk:Clorox|diskussion]]) 01:33, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

==Happyness?==
In Gen IV does this affect happyness in any way? I think i remember my chimeco having max ahppyness, then after it got out of the daycare, it was at 2 small hearts (this might be because I boxed it for about 6 hours) So I'm just wondering if this affects happyness in any way [[User:SLE_aman|SLE_aman]]

'"They don't seem to like each other very much."
Egg produced ~19.8% of the time every 256 steps. Caused by both parents having the same OT data and being a different species. This is the slowest Egg production rate.

"The two prefer to play with other Pokemon than each other."
Will never produce an Egg. Caused most often by having the same gender parents in the Daycare, or trying to breed Pokemon not in the same Egg group.

"The two seem to get along."
Egg produced ~49.5% of the time every 256 steps. Message due to having matching OT data and being the same species or having different OT data and being different species.

"The two seem to get along very well."
Egg produced ~69.3% of the time every 256 steps. Message due to both parents having different OT data and being the same species. Best Egg rate.'

I'll stick it in about a week if no one else does but i'm too lazy to rewrite it now or add anything else... sorry [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 00:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)



== Name ==

In Gen IV, it's called the "Pokémon Day-Care". Official name or wait for HGSS's name? '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#DAA520">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#C0C0C0">chidna</span>]]''' 07:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

== HMs can be forgotten? ==
Can it delete HMs in RBY? If so, then wouldn't that fix the problem about HMs not being possible to erase in those games?--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] 21:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

== Reggie's Daycare ==
Doesn't that count as one that has appeared in Sinnoh? [[User:PlanetWalker|PlanetWalker]] 03:39, 25 January 2010 (UTC)


== Hostage Pokemon ==

I went to the daycare in Pearl version and I talked to the wife behind the counter, who sends me to the husband, who just keeps talking about the daycare checker app he gave me. I have 2 pkmn and an egg in there but i dont see them in the play area (am i supposed to?) they're just in there leveling up when i could be putting ditto to use with another partner.. I tried emptying my party to accommodate three. what am i doing wrong? how do i get the old couple to give me my pkmn back? thx [[User:LoneCubone|LoneCubone]] 12:36, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
:Did you check to see if there is an egg? [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 12:38, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
::Where should I check? The daycare app shows the two pkmn and an egg in between them. [[User:LoneCubone|LoneCubone]] 19:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
:::Did you talk to the old man outside of the day care? --[[User:Mr.lol|Mr.lol]] 19:28, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
::::Lol thank you. silly me. [[User:LoneCubone|LoneCubone]] 14:13, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::the guy in the daycare that gives the app is a random guy. the usband is outside in blue, if you have an egg, he will face the middle road, and in d/p/pt the pokemon dont appear in the enclosure, likely due to lazy programers, or aking up too much data :s ;)--[[User:Ben7229|Ben7229]] 18:04, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

== EGG ==

i;m playing chrystal and i went in to drop off ditto and quilava, and the old guy gave me a random egg, and i'd never been their b4 and i havent used cheats or anythin, any ideas? btw, i dont have egg token or whatever it was called--[[User:Ben7229|Ben7229]] 18:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
btw it just hatched into a smoochum with the moves pound, lick and dizzy punch. was the dizzy punch egg a default event rather than an item event in english crystal?--[[User:Ben7229|Ben7229]] 18:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
:You got the Odd Egg... that's perfectly normal. You get it in English Crystal just by talking to the old guy for the first time. ▫▪''[[User:Tina|<span style="color:#d93f91;">Ťïňắ</span>]]'' <sup>[[User talk:Tina|<span style="color:#ae41d9;">♫</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|<span style="color:#d941cf;">♥</span>]]</sup> 18:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

== HM moves not forgotten? ==

In which generation? I just tested in SS with my HM Slave Tentacool, and it forgot Waterfall and learned Acid while in the daycare. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#A1871F;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 06:21, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

== Loading Issues ==

Is it me, or does this page not load properly? The logo doesn't appear and all of the links at the top such as my contributions and talk page have all been moved to the left of the page. (Every other page works just fine...) [[User:FrozenStrategy|FrozenStrategy]] 14:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

== Level gain? ==

It seems that the most important thing is missing on this page, when the Pokémon will level up!
Is it a xp per step gain, or is it time based?
--[[User:Phil832|Phil832]] 14:51, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it's one EXP per step. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

== Happiness gain ==

What happens to a Pokemon's happiness when put in the day care?  I checked the Happiness page, and it said that it will gain happiness when it levels up.  Does this also apply to the Day Care? [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 14:36, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
:No. Happiness is not gained in the day care. I don't think it is lost either though. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 14:39, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

== Effort Values ==

Worth mentioning that another downside to the Day Care is that Pokémon don't receive EVs? - [[User:Poikins|<span style="color:#fc880d">'''poi'''</span>]][[User talk:Poikins|<span style="color:#ff3333">'''kins'''</span>]] 21:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
:EVs are recieved by defeating Pokemon in battle. Why would people think they recieve them from the daycare? <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 02:26, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
