hobbies and interests card gamesWhat does putting your Pokemon in daycare do?
Simply so, what does the daycare do in Pokemon?
The daycare is based on the number of stepsyoutake in game, as in for each step for which you move a panel,yourpokemon gains 1 EXP. In other words, get on your bikeandstart walking around in circles/up and down or whatever youfindworks well for you. The more you walk, the more XPyougain.
Considering this, does Pokemon daycare raise stats?
The Day Care provides no Stat Exp,soPokémon raised by this method will tend to havepoorstats (equal to what they would have if raisedbyRare Candies). Pokémon who evolve at a certainLevelwill not do so if they reach that Level while in theDayCare.
Basically they are extra hidden points that you getbybattling. When using Rare Candies, you don't gain anyofthose points, so your Pokemon could be weaker. However,ifyou have trained a Pokemon from a low level up tolevel50-60 you will probably already have all possible EVs, sousingRare Candies doesn't matter.
