In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s, such as {{an|Brock}}. The anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce Eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|Professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from Breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swamp]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon Egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Donphan|his]] {{AP|Eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Glaceon|Egg]].

Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising happy and healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by {{pkmn|groomer|grooming}} them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}. When preparing Pokémon food, Breeders will carefully select ingredients to ensure that the Pokémon will consume all it needs to grow stronger and healthier.
 
Breeders are shown to have knowledge on how to treat [[Pokémon illness]]es and injuries by administering [[Potion]]s and other medicine. Some Breeders will use a {{wp|mortar and pestle}} to crush and grind herbs to produce [[herbal medicine]]. They also know which {{Berries}} can be used to cure Pokémon from [[status condition]]s.

There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce Pokémon Eggs of various species. Both {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} have obtained Eggs from such locations.
 
In ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', [[Johanna]] stated that {{an|Dawn}} would need to learn about breeding in order to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. This is because [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s must care for their Pokémon's appearance and well being, something which requires them to know how to produce nutritious snacks in the form of [[Pokéblock]]s and [[Poffin]]s, as well as to regularly groom them.
