Pokemon Day Care + Battle Chateau

Pokémon Day Care (Berry Fields)

Drop off any 1–2 Pokémon here. Costs 100 P + 100 P per level gained. Eggs appear if you drop a male and female of compatible egg groups.

  • ★ Use for breeding Hidden Abilities, perfect IVs, or shiny chains (Masuda method).
  • For Phase 2 itself, mostly skippable — you don't need the Day Care to clear story content.
  • Strategic use: drop Eevee here once you have one (Phase 5+ via gift) to chain-evolve into Sylveon (Friendship + Fairy move).

Battle Chateau (separate building, Route 7 north side)

An optional battle facility introduced in Kalos. You're given a basic membership rank and can earn higher ranks (Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke, Grand Duke) by repeatedly defeating noble trainers.

  • O-Power activation: Talk to specific trainers inside to activate temporary Prize Money / Exp Point boosts in your own party.
  • Trainer rematches infinite: Higher-rank trainers (Lv 30–60+) provide grind-friendly XP much later. For Phase 2, only the Baron-rank trainers (~Lv 15) are accessible.
  • Writs: Buy Silver/Gold/Black Writs to spawn higher-level trainers temporarily. Worth a few thousand P for endgame grinding only.
Optimal Chateau policy for Phase 2: Pop in to register and beat one or two Barons for a couple thousand Pokédollars, then leave. Real Chateau grinding happens in Phase 5+ once Duke writs unlock.

Battle Chateau trainers

Optional facility. After Hennesy gives you the Baron(ess) title, you can fight ranked trainers. Phase 2-accessible: ~5 Barons with Lv 14–17 rosters. Names rotate but include Earl Dober, Viscount Ulrich, Baroness Gillian, Baron Marcel, Baroness Riley (names vary). Each Baron pays ~3,000 P.
