Day-Caring a Pokémon will have same effect as leveling it up by battling?
I am playing the 3rd generation Pokémon games now. I completed Sapphire and want to go to the Battle Tower with a level 50 Pokémon and I've found quite a lot of Rare Candies by using the Zigzagoon Strategy.
These are my concerns:
- If I used Rare Candies on one Pokémon to increase its level, it would technically not get EVs, right? Or is it just a myth? It would be weaker than a Pokémon who has leveled up to the same level by battling? Is that right?
- If I give my Pokémon to the day-care couple, will the increase in level also increase my EVs or it will have the same effect as Rare Candies (assuming this myth is true)?

Does raising a Pokémon at Day Care make it weaker?
The Day Care provides no Stat Exp, so Pok\xe9mon raised by this method will tend to have poor stats (equal to what they would have if raised by Rare Candies). Pok\xe9mon who evolve at a certain Level will not do so if they reach that Level while in the Day Care.Does Day Care level up your Pokémon?
Pok\xe8mon left in the daycare gain 1 experience point per step walked by the player. As they level up in the Day Care, Pok\xe9mon will not undergo evolution.Does the Day Care level up your Pokémon BDSP?
There are no Daycares in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl so players cannot use this method to level up the Pokemon in their arsenal. Daycares have been replaced by Nursery.How much EXP does the Pokémon Day Care give?
Any Pok\xe9mon in the Day Care will gain 1 Exp point for each step the player takes. If a deposited Pok\xe9mon levels up and would learn a new move, but it already knows 4 moves, then the first known move is forgotten, the rest bumped up, and the new move learned.Lady Gaga - Poker Face (Official Music Video)
