The anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s, but it is assumed to be a part of a Breeder's work. | ||

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. | |||
It has been shown that [[Pokémon 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 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. | |||
