The Hoenn Daycare

PBO’s Daycares do not raise your Pokémon for you. Instead, each region’s Daycare has an attendant who wants to see a new Pokémon you caught yourself once a day, and pays you in Daycare Tokens.

This page covers the Hoenn Daycare. Sinnoh (Solaceon Day Care) and Kanto (the Daycare Centre on Route 5) work the same way, each with its own list of Pokémon and the same token shop. For how the Daycares work in every region, see Daycare.

Breeder Tia only accepts Pokémon that are:

  • on her Hoenn list (below)
  • caught by you (you are the original trainer) in Hoenn
  • level 25 or higher
  • never shown to her before

Showing a Pokémon does not take it away; you keep it.

Hoenn list: Poochyena, Nickit, Slakoth, Surskit, Beautifly, Dustox, Zigzagoon, Lotad, Seedot, Taillow, Wiglett, Shellos, Wailmer, Grimer, Tinkatink, Toedscool, Swablu, Pikachu (Hoenn Cap), Silicobra, Girafarig, Hisuian Voltorb, Mudkip, Torchic, Treecko, Wynaut and Jigglypuff.

The Pokémon must still be that species when you show it, so do not evolve it first.

Your Pokémon Tokens
Level 25–54 15
Level 55–79 25
Level 80 or higher 40
All 510 EVs allocated +5 extra

A level 85 Pokémon with all 510 EVs allocated earns 45 tokens. Breeder Tia can show you how many tokens each of your eligible Pokémon would earn before you choose.

  • TM500 Hidden Power is needed for the Saffron dojo’s Hidden Power shards.
