Day Care

A day care is a block that is required to breed Pokémon. Unlike day cares in the Pokémon games, Pokémon do not gain experience while inside a day care.

Obtaining

As of 9.0.7, the day care block can be purchased from a shopkeeper or found in the Daycare Building in villages.

Usage

Pokémon placed inside of a daycare will be removed from the players PC/Party and placed into the day care interface. The day care interface is accessible via the block itself and progress may be monitored by the day care interface inside of the players inventory.

Only Pokémon that are inside a day care can be bred; attempting to conduct the breeding process without a day care will produce no results. If the breeding process is successful, the resultant Egg will be visible inside the day care and can be claimed. A single Pokémon or a group of Pokémon that cannot breed with each other can be placed inside the day care with no repercussions. However, this will not result in anything material and is purely aesthetic.

A day care requires a pickaxe to be broken and retrieved. Breaking it will reset any progress that was made with the breeding process. Any Pokémon that were inside the ranch block will be returned to the PC.

You can find more information on the Breeding page for its usage.

• The ranch block had a different recipe in developmental versions of Pixelmon before being changed to the current recipe used in public releases. The ingredients for this recipe were primarily items associated with love and romance, such as sweets, gemstones, and flowers. This recipe does not exist in the current version of Pixelmon.
