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.

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)
::People who don't know what EVs are might benefit from learning of the worth of leveling up through battling instead of the Day Care.

== New moves learned ==
I left an Eevee at the day care to breed for a while. It leveled up from 14 to 21 by the time I finished breeding it, so it learned Growl in that time. But according to the article, the topmost move is deleted to make room for new moves. Eevee started with Tackle, Tail Whip, Helping Hand, and Sand Attack and when I got it back it knew Tackle, Helping Hand, Sand Attack, and Growl. Tackle wasn't deleted. Does the day care not delete the topmost move if it's the only attack move? --[[User:Blubee|Blubee]] ([[User talk:Blubee|talk]]) 06:31, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
:Nevermind. The topmost move was Tail Whip, the article confused me by listing Tackle first. --[[User:Blubee|Blubee]] ([[User talk:Blubee|talk]]) 06:56, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
== Move Replacement in the Day Care ==
On the [[Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_breeding#Breeding_moves_glitch.3F|breeding talk page]], there was discussion of Pokémon forgetting moves. It was discovered that a Pokémon's moveset isn't updated until it is withdrawn from the daycare, meaning it can pass on moves which would be overwritten if it were to be withdrawn immediately after picking up the egg.
I hypothesize that the Day Care functions like a mini PC box, but when you talk to the Day Care Lady, a special script runs which checks the step tally and checks that number against the EXP of any stored Pokémon. If the number of steps would result in a level gain, it would subtract the difference and run again until no more levels are gained, and finally if any Pokémon would gain levels, report them to the player. If you choose to withdraw a Pokémon, it is at that point when the changes are actually applied, meaning EXP is added, levels gained, and moves replaced. Can anyone think of a way to check/verify this through testing? --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 05:02, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
:I don't know why the exact process really even matters...?
:If you want to clarify, for the sake of breeding, that Pokemon's moves don't change until they're withdrawn (one: ''that'''s about all you need to say; and two:) that belongs on the {{pkmn|breeding}} page, not here. In the big picture (as is relayed here), that's not actually important. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:15, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
== Near Nacrene City in Unova ==
In the article under the headline ''In the Anime'', it says that a Pokémon Day Care is located "near [[Nacrene City]] in [[Unova]]". It is sort of true. In [[BW013]], which takes place between the [[BW012|episode featuring the Pokémon Day Care]] and the [[BW014|episode where Ash and his friends arrives in Nacrene City]], [[Cilan]] says that they only have to cross one more mountain in order to reach Nacrene City. I wouldn't quite call that "near", though it depends on which perspective you put it in. [[User:Torr3|Torr3]] ([[User talk:Torr3|talk]]) 02:24, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure what word or phrasing would be more appropriate than "near" in this case. While it is hard to to precisely estimate the day care's location since no route or anything was provided, I don't think it's entirely misleading to call it "near".

== Calculation ==
The Calculation for price of taking pokemon out of daycare is L x 100 + 100. L = Number of levels gained. This would be nice trivia, but I don't know how to create extra topics. [[User:LukeDaDiggityDog|LukeDaDiggityDog]] ([[User talk:LukeDaDiggityDog|talk]]) 20:01, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
