A '''Pokémon daycare''' is a place for [[Pokémon trainer]]s to drop off their [[Pokémon]] to be raised in the care of other people, usually an old couple or an old man. Pokémon left at a daycare gain [[experience]] based on how many steps the player takes. | A '''Pokémon daycare''' is a place for [[Pokémon trainer]]s to drop off their [[Pokémon]] to be raised in the care of other people, usually an old couple or an old man.

In the [[main series]], it is free to put a Pokémon into the daycare and to take it it costs {{PDollar}}100 to take it out, plus an additional {{PDollar}}100 per level gained | In the [[main series]], it is free to put a Pokémon into the daycare and to take it it costs {{PDollar}}100 to take it out, plus an additional {{PDollar}}100 per level gained while in the daycare. | ||
This is not a preferred method of Pokémon raising for many reasons. Aside from the cost, Pokémon will not [[Evolution|evolve]] while in a Pokémon daycare. The [[moves]] Pokémon learn in the Pokémon daycare will be dependent on level - the Pokémon will automatically learn new techniques and forget the old ones, including [[HM]] moves. This means that a Pokémon could end up learning a bunch of useless moves. In addition, a Pokémon can not gain [[EV]]s while left in the daycare. | This is not a preferred method of Pokémon raising for many reasons.

However, daycares are good for two things. One is leveling up Pokémon so that it's easier to record evolutions in the [[Pokédex]], without having to spend much time using the Pokémon in [[Pokémon battle|battle]]. The other use is [[breeding]]. | However, daycares are good for two things.
