The DayCare is a place on PokéFarm run by Professor Laurel where up to two Pokémon can breed while gaining Experience. The DayCare can be accessed through a link on the NavBar.

About the DayCare

The DayCare page.

The DayCare page consist of four tabs:

  • Pokémon: Shows the Pokémon that are currently in the DayCare, and allows the user to add or remove Pokémon. This tab also contains information regarding the Pokémon in the Daycare, such as each Pokémon's Level, EXP, Gender, Name, and when applicable, Compatibility.
  • Eggs: Shows the Eggs that the Pokémon in the DayCare have produced, and allows the user to claim or release them.
  • About the DayCare: Explains the use and the restrictions of the DayCare.
  • Upgrades: Allows for the purchase of Account Upgrades that are related to the DayCare. Also sells Everstones and Incense.

Leaving a Pokémon in the DayCare

In order to leave a Pokémon in the DayCare, a spot must be available in the first DayCare tab . Each user may leave up to two Pokémon in the DayCare. If the two Pokémon left in the DayCare are in different Egg Groups, a message will appear beneath the two stating, "The Pokémon are not compatible for breeding." The only exceptions to this are Ditto, which may breed with any non- Legendary or Baby Pokémon, and the pairing of Articuno and Vulpix, which may breed to produce Koroku.

Note: Pokémon in the DayCare will still show up in a user's Party and Fields, and can still be interacted with and fed Consumables.


Pokémon left in the Daycare will gain EXP passively. The base rate at which Pokémon gain EXP is 1 EXP point every 36 seconds. This amount may be increased by purchasing DayCare EXP Boosters. This EXP is added directly to the Pokémon; therefore, Pokémon will gain EXP while in the Daycare even if they are EXP-locked.

Breeding

Breeding is considered the main usage of the DayCare, and occurs when two compatible Pokémon are left in the DayCare. Breeding two Pokémon can produce an Egg of either of their species. The probability of two Pokémon producing an egg is determined by the level of compatibility there is between them. Depending on the compatibility of the Pokémon, there is a chance that an Egg may be produced each time the user completes 64 Interactions.

When breeding, the offspring may belong to the same evolutionary chain as either parent, rather than just the mother. Pokémon from the Undiscovered Egg Group cannot breed with any Pokémon, this Egg Group includes Legendary Pokémon, Baby Pokémon, and Tournament Pokémon. Manaphy and Phione are the only exceptions from this. Ditto can breed with every breedable Pokémon, including genderless Pokémon, but breeding two Ditto together will not produce any Eggs.

Articuno, despite being listed as part of the Undiscovered Egg Group, can breed with Vulpix to produce Koroku.

Compatibility

Example of a compatible breeding pair.

The compatibility of two Pokémon is based on multiple factors, including their: Original Trainer, lineage, level, and happiness. A higher compatibility is achievable if the Pokémon are from different users and family trees. The amount of eggs produced is also affected by the level gap between the Pokémon. The two Pokémon must be different genders in order to have a chance of producing eggs, with the exception of Ditto and Unown. Considering this, Pokémon of the same species are more compatible breeding with each other than with Pokémon of different species. The sentence beneath the two Pokémon in the DayCare gives a hint on how compatible they are as a breeding couple. In order to get an exact percentage of a couple's breeding compatibility, the Matchup Checker upgrade has to be purchased.

Sentence Compatibility
The Pokémon are not compatible for breeding. 0%
The Pokémon can barely tolerate being together. 1-39%
The Pokémon seem to prefer being with others. 40-49%
The Pokémon get along reasonably well. 50-69%
The Pokémon are very friendly toward each other. 70-89%
The Pokémon are inseparable. 90-99%

Note that this percentage is not absolute; A large level gap or low happiness can cause the Pokémon to behave as if they had a lower breeding percentage. If happiness drops all the way to 0%, the Pokémon will not produce Eggs regardless of compatibility.

Incense Breeding

Some Pokémon are only able to produce Baby Pokémon when breeding with Incense, in other cases an Egg from the First Stage will be produced. When breeding with Incense it is only necessary for one parent to hold that item, though in that case 50% of the Eggs will be the Baby Pokémon and the other half will be from the First Stage. To get only Baby Pokémon Eggs, it is necessary to give both parents Incense to hold.

The Parent Pokémon can be either the first or second Stage of the Evolution line.

Parent Pokémon Baby Pokémon Used Incense
Snorlax Munchlax Full Incense
Wobbuffet Wynaut Lax Incense
Chansey/Blissey Happiny Luck Incense
Mr. Mime Mime Jr. Odd Incense
Chimecho Chingling Pure Incense
Sudowoodo Bonsly Rock Incense
Roselia/Roserade Budew Rose Incense
Marill/Azumarill Azurill Sea Incense
Mantine Mantyke Wave Incense

Exclusive Pokémon

Exclusive Pokémon are special Pokémon that are exclusive to PokéFarm, and are their own unique species. Exclusive Pokémon will often be able to produce Eggs of their own species, as well as Eggs of their parent species, e.g. members of the Early Bird Line can produce both Early Bird Natu Eggs, and normal Natu Eggs. When breeding Variant Pokémon, there is a max chance of 1 in 8 that an Egg that is produced will be of an Variant Species.

Special Breeding Pairs

There are some Breeding Pairs that have special characteristics for breeding.

  • When breeding Miltank or Tauros with each other or any other Pokémon, both Miltank and Tauros Eggs can be produced. The same applies to Volbeat and Illumise, Rufflet and Vullaby and their evolutions, and Oranguru and Passimian.
  • Nidoran is considered one Pokémon, ignoring its gender differences. So breeding a member of its evolution line with any other Pokémon, may result in a Nidoran Egg which can hatch either male or female.
  • Even though Zangoose and Seviper should be able to breed, the feud between them makes it nearly impossible for them to do so.
  • Breeding two Minun or two Plusle results in a Plusle Egg, breeding a Minun together with a Plusle will result in a Minun egg.
Putting a Zangoose and Seviper in the Daycare results in a 1% compatibility.

Breeding Unown

All Formes of Unown are members of their own Egg Group, the Unown Egg Group, which allow for Unown to breed with each other without a Ditto. Specific Unown letters can be bred together to produce other letters of Unown.

When breeding with Unown it is necessary to know that the same letters will always produce the same letters. When breeding two A Unown with each other they will always produce A Unown. When breeding an Unown A and an Unown B they will always produce an Unown C.

To know which Unown will be produced while breeding their letters need to be seen as numbers, where each number is equal to their place in the alphabet. Unown A equals to 1, Unown B equals to 2, Unown C equals to 3, etc.

Unown Letter A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z ? !
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

The first step is to find out which Unown appears later in the alphabet and therefore which Unown has the higher number of the breeding pair. This number is the first value, the number of the other Unown is the second value. Now to get the resulting Unown the second value has to be subtracted from the first value. The resulting value is added to the first value which gives the number of the resulting Unown. Mathematically speaking with an example of breeding Unown A and Unown B.

x = Number of the Unown which appears later in the alphabet, in this example: Unown B, number: 2
y = Number of the Unown which appears earlier in the alphabet, in this example: Unown A, number: 1
z = Number of the Unown which results from breeding both Unown, in this example: From breeding Unown A and Unown B

(x - y) + x = z

Where (x - y) is calculated first. In this example: (2 - 1) + 2 = 3 Looking up number 3 from the table tells that Unown C results from breeding Unown A and Unown B. Another possible formula is:

2 * x - y = z

Where 2 * x is calculated first.

Note: If the resulting value is over 28 then 28 has to be subtracted from the result to get the real number.


Eggs

Eggs bred in the DayCare can be viewed in the Eggs tab. A user may take six Eggs from the DayCare each day. Hypermode Users get six extra adoptions each day, which allow them to take 12 Eggs in total. After that, DayCare Passes may be used to claim more Pokémon. Additional DayCare Passes can also be purchased for Gold Poké.

Eggs will be held in the Daycare for 24 hours, regardless of when during the day they were produced. Any Eggs in the Daycare that are not claimed by the user after 24 hours will be sent to the Shelter. An exception from this are Exclusive Eggs, as they only have a 1% chance of going into the Shelter, the other 99% will simply disappear.

Note: The oldest Egg will always be adopted first.


Upgrades

DayCare Upgrades can be purchased on the Upgrades tab of the DayCare.

  • SpyGlass: A tool that will reveal the specific image of an Egg. It comes in handy when the user is breeding with two different Pokémon species. Can be bought for 20.
  • Red Gigaremo: A tool that can force a user's Pokémon to be more compatible with each other while lowering their happiness. Couples must be breeding compatible to work; 0% compatibility cannot be increased. The Red Gigaremo can be used any time for a one-time purchase of 2,000.
  • Matchup Checker: A small tool that shows a user exactly how compatible the user's Pokémon are for a one-time buy of 100. Once bought, a percentage will show up next to the couple's compatibility sentence.
  • DayCare Pass: This allows a user to take additional Eggs from the DayCare. Each Pass costs 20 and can only be used once. Users also have the option to buy Passes in bulk, at a discount prices, in sets of 10 Passes for the price of 7, or 60 Passes for the price of 30.
  • DayCare EXP Booster: Increases the amount of EXP gained by Pokémon while in the DayCare by 25%. Users can stack up to ten Boosters to get the maximum boost out of them. Without any Boosters, each Pokémon receives 1 EXP point every 36 seconds. Can be bought for 300.
  • Everstone: The Everstone will not only prevent the Pokémon holding it from evolving, but when used in a breeding pair it will receive a 50% chance of passing its Nature to its child. When both parents are holding an Everstone and they have different Natures, there is a 50% chance of either Nature passing. Everstones can be bought for 500. Users can purchase up to 99 at once.
  • Destiny Knot: The Destiny Knot helps with IV Breeding. If either parent holds it, then the child will inherit more of its stats from the parents than it normally would. The Destiny Knot can be bought for 1000.
