Pokémon Day Care

A Pokémon Day Care, known as Daycare and Day-Care in early generations, is a place for Pokémon Trainers to drop off their Pokémon to be raised in the care of other people. Most locations are staffed by a Day-Care Couple, but some are only staffed by a Day-Care Man and one is staffed by the Day Care Lad and his older sister. Pokémon in Day Care gain one experience point per step the player takes. Where it is possible to leave two Pokémon, it is also possible for them to breed and produce Eggs. The Pokémon Day Care was removed after Generation VI. In Generations VII and VIII, the Pokémon Nursery replaces it for breeding, while Isle Evelup in Poké Pelago and Poké Jobs, respectively, replace its function of increasing experience and leveling up.
