Pokémon Day Care/es

The Pokémon Day Care is a location in Kanto where Eggs and Fossils can be bred. Additionally, obtained Pokémon that have reached level 100 can be bred to receive an Attack bonus equal to 25% of its Base Attack. The Pokémon Day Care is unlocked upon clearing Route 5 of Kanto.

One quest that can appear involves hatching a random amount of Eggs. These can be either purchased from Shops, or from breeding level 100 Pokémon.

=Usage=

As soon as Route 5 is cleared, the Pokémon Day Care can be accessed by clicking on its location on the map on Route 5. Additionally, the Hatchery tab becomes available on the main page.

There are three different types of hatch-able resources in Pokéclicker: obtained Pokémon Eggs, Fossils, and already obtained level 100 Pokémon. Pokémon Eggs are typically purchased in Shops and Fossils are typically mined from the Underground. The Egg/Fossil/Obtained Pokémon that can be bred each have their own distinct tab in the Pokémon Day Care modal.

Clicking on the desired Egg/Fossil/Level 100 Pokémon will result in it being added to the Hatchery. The Hatchery only has 4 slots, but Breeding Queue slots can be unlocked in each new Region (See Upgrades Below). The Breeding Queue automatically adds queued Pokémon to the Hatchery if there is space. If there is a Pokémon in the queue, Eggs/Fossils that are ready to hatch will do so and be replaced by the queued Pokémon.

Each Pokémon has a certain number of Egg Steps required before it can hatch from an Egg. Consult List of Pokémon with attack for egg steps for all Pokémon. Egg Steps are gained through defeating Pokémon. Routes, Gyms, and Dungeons all yield different numbers of Egg Steps per Pokémon defeated, although the Egg Steps yielded generally scales with the difficulty of the Route, Gym, or Dungeon.

When an Egg/Fossil in the Hatchery has obtained the required number of Egg Steps, as indicated by the green progress bar on each Egg/Fossil, it will be ready to hatch. Clicking on the image of the Egg/Fossil with hatch it, giving the player one of that Pokémon.

Las crías pokemon son pokemons que se obtienen únicamente al incubar la evolución siguiente de este. La primera vez que una cría pokemon se incuba el jugador obtendrá tanto el pokemon original como el pokemon cría.

El 25% de incremento del ataque base de un pokemon al incubarlo puede mejorarse mediante el uso de proteínas. Las proteínas el incremento de ataque por incubar en 1npor cada una usada en un pokemon concreto. Para más información acerca de la eficiencia de incubación usando proteínas consulta la página de proteínas.

Los pokemons incubados también ofrecen la mayor probabilidad de encontrar pokemons variacolor en el juego (junto con los pokemon itinerantes y los pokemons de tienda) con una probabilidad de 1/1024. Para más información sobre la probabilidad de variacolor en la guardería consulta la página de Consult probabilar de variacolor.

Hatchery Helpers are unlock-able and purchasable Items that allow the player to automate the hatchery. As of Version 0.9.3 this is a BETA feature and is likely to change in the future.

=Eficiencia=

Hay 3 aspectos clave a considerar al incubar un pokemon para conseguir un determinado objetivo.

]] de la pokedex en la que se encuentra ese pokemon
 * 1) la 'eficiencia de incubación' de un pokemon (teniendo en cuenta las proteínas usadas en él)
 * 2) La [[Region|región
 * 1) el tipo del pokemon que deberías incubar para cumplir el objetivo

Por ejemplo, pongamos que estamos intentando derrotar al campeón plubio (Wallace) en Hoenn. Aunque el pokemon con más eficiencia de incubación es Gyarados, si tenemos en cuenta el 30% de reducción de daño para un pokemon de Kanto en la región de Hoenn se convierte en el undécimo pokemon menos eficiente para incubar. Así el pokemon más eficiente para incubar en Hoenn es Azurill, lo que sería ligeramente más eficiente para derrotar a Plubio (Wallace). Además, incubar alguno de los pokemon de tipo planta de Hoenn (ej. Tropius, Breloom, Shroomish, Roselia, etc.) que son solo un poco menos eficientes que Azurill generará más daño contra los pokemon de tipo agua de este entrenador. En conclusión, si estas incubando para conseguir un objetivo céntrate pokemons con una alta eficiencia de incubación de la región en la que te encuentras con un tipo eficiente contra el tipo que tratas de derrotar.

=Farm Strategies=

The farm can be utilized to increase the egg steps yielded by Pokémon through the use of Chople berries. However, as Chople berries surrounded by at least three other Chople berries can mutate into Chilan berries, specfic strategies must be employed to best plant Chople berries in order to increase egg steps. Below are several strategies that can be used depending on which berries are readily accessible, accompanied by a short description of each strategy's pros and cons as well as a corresponding planting diagram.

Note: Any Strategy that used Petaya will have a slightly different timing table. Once Petaya ripens it resets the timers of all other berries and sets them to infinity. Thus, other berries can be planted so that they ripen before Petaya, and should be timed so that Petaya ripens just before they wither.

Chople + Empty Rows
The easiest strategy for planting Chople berries is to leave empty rows separating each row of Chople berries. This is easy to do and requires no additional berries, but is also less efficient than other more complex strategies.

Chople + Yache/Haban
A slightly more complex strategy for planting Chople berries is to plant berries that decrease growth rates (Yache or Haban) between each of the rows of Chople berries. While this takes Chople berries longer to grow, it also results in longer wither times for Chople berries. While this doesn't appear to be incredibly challenging to accomplish, and uses only 4th generation berries, the berries on the ends of each row receive a diminished growth aura effect relative to more central berries on the farm. This can make timing simultaneous ripeness of all berries on the farm challenging.

Chople + Petaya
A strategy that is easier in many respects than Chople + Yache/Haban is Chople + Petaya. Petaya is one of the final berries to unlock, and it is one of the most challenging to do so, so it might not be the most accessible option. However, the aura effect of Petaya berries "freeze" the timers of ripe berries on the farm, locking them at infinity so long as the Petaya plant is ripe. This is an incredibly powerful effect as Petaya berries remain ripe for 5 days (no modifiers). Thus, this strategy provides a very stable setup for three rows of Chople berries for much longer than using two empty rows.

Chople + Babiri
Another somewhat easy strategy is Chople + Babiri. Ripe Babiri berries prevent mutations in the berries they are near. Thus, once they are unlocked four strategically placed Babiri berries can allow for a more full farm of Chople berries.

Chople + Lum
Another somewhat easy strategy is Chople + Lum. Ripe Lum berries boost the auras of the berries they are near (max of one boost for each nearby berry). Thus, once they are unlocked four strategically placed Lum berries can allow for a farm of Chople berries with increased boosts.

Chople + Lum + Petaya
Combines Chople + Lum with a Petaya for a longer duration boost.

Chople + Babiri + Petaya
This strategy combines Chople + Babiri and Chople + Petaya, utilizing the effects of each berry for a farm with one fewer Chople, but far more longevity. A Petaya berry and strategically placed Babiri berries prolong the ripe times and prevent mutations of all ripe berries on the farm.

Chople + Babiri + Lum
This strategy combines Chople + Babiri and Chople + Lum, utilizing the effects of each berry for a farm with fewer Choples, but a far greater boost. Moving the Babiris and Lums like this lets us replace one Babiri while still avoiding any mutation risk.

Chople + Babiri + Petaya + Lum
This strategy adds a Petaya berry to Chople + Babiri + Lum for a farm with one fewer Chople, but far more longevity.

Timing Table
Note that Chople can mutate into Chilan at taller and later stages, so you may plant Chople according to the earlier time to give more increased egg step time, but risk having to replant a few plants or you can opt for the later time and have no risk of mutation at all.
