The free training and breeding service for all Pokémon trainers!

Welcome to the GoldenrodPress Daycare! We have noticed an abundance of websites which charge Pokémon players ridiculous amounts of money to trade hacked battle ready Pokémon to their games.

But what do you get when you cross players who enjoy breeding with a website dedicated to serve the competitive Pokémon community? That’s right, completely free, hand bred, battle ready Pokémon!

We understand not everyone has enough time to personally breed each and every Pokémon they wish to test with online, or use in a live tournament which is where we come in!

Your fourth Ladder Legend is 0.null.0 who took a very offensive version of Milotic into the mid 1700’s on the ladder!

A Bolt from the Prehistoric Past – Malmö VGC 2020 Regional Championship Team Report

This past weekend I travelled to Malmö via Copenhagen to participate in Malmö’s Regional Championship event for the third time in four years; accompanied by Ayleigh & Helen, I was able to couple this up as a week’s holiday to explore both of these beautiful cities before focusing on the tournament ahead.

With the recent changes to the VGC ruleset, legalising new Pokémon such as Incineroar and Venusaur, I was left unsure of what sort of team I would be bringing to the event and it wouldn’t be until the Wednesday before the tournament that my decision would finally be made.
