Daycare XP vs Obedience Level Cap?

[ReekRend]

Does Daycare XP stop completely at your obedience level cap and you gain nothing?

 

Or does it still get the XP but just freezes the level like the Pokemon in your party?

 

I noticed that a high-level pokemon (70+) from my prior region is still only $1000 (minimum, 0-1 level gain) to retrieve, while I was still levelling my party a lot.

So either it's gaining 0 xp, or there's a loophole for daycare cost.

 

I COULD figure this out myself but it would take some convoluted testing...

It's the former. It was gaining 0 exp. Pokémon in the day care only gain 20% of the experience you gain while in that region.

Oh, it was in the day care of that region.

I brought it over specifically to put in the daycare, so it could get cheap L70+ XP since I was playing through.

 

Or did you mean 20% of the experience that Pokemon would gain if battling out of the day care in that region?

 

Because 20% of the experience I gained while in that region (with my party pokemon) was a LOT.

 

So either it gains 0 at level cap no matter what, or when I beat E4 and pull it from the daycare it will gain a ton of levels for $1k.
