Sub Section: The Daycare
Before I explain the details of breeding, and how it all works, you need to learn how to actually breed first! On Route 9, just before the route 6 entrance, there's a path that heads north to the following building:
When you go inside, you'll find a PC where you can access your storage boxes as well as an old woman and nurse. The nurse will heal your pokemon and speaking to the old lady will prompt her to ask you to deposit at most two pokemon for her to take care of.
Note: The daycare lady will now accept nuclear pokemon!
From the Pokemon Uranium Wiki:
The only Nuclear Pokémon that can breed are Nucleon, Hazma, and the corrupted Nuclear Tancoon, Corsola, and Gyarados that can be found on Route 7. (This is possibly due to a glitch, and the offspring are not Nuclear-type.)

For every step you take, your submitted pokemon will gain exp and level. Keep in mind: If pokemon are supposed to learn a move, that move will overwrite the first move the pokemon has. If pokemon is supposed to evolve at a level, it will not until you level it once yourself. To take a pokemon out of the daycare, the old lady will charge you a base price of 100 and an addition 100 for each level the pokemon has gained.
Example:
You put in an Eevee and it gained 3 levels in the pokemon daycare.
It will cost $400 to withdraw it.
There is a very high chance you will be constantly changing pokemon to move items around and switch out individuals so be ready to front these costs even if they aren't all that high!
While the leveling functions of the daycare can be nice, what we're actually here for are the eggs! For every step you take, the pokemon you submitted into the daycare have a chance of producing an egg (assuming they can). Talking to the old man outside will give you a gauge of how quickly you'll be able to receive and egg.

He will start with something like this:
Followed by one of these:
"The two prefer to play with other Pokemon than each other"
(The pokemon will never produce an egg)
"The two don't seem to like each other"
(Low chance of an egg)
"The two seem to get along."
(Moderate chance of an egg)
"The two seem to get along very well"
(High chance of an egg)
The chance for an egg is increased if:
However, this only applies if both are opposite genders and of the same egg group! For an in depth explanation on this, go to section 3 of this guide.
If an egg was generated while you were not on the map, when you re-enter it, he will appear to have "stepped up". Talking to him again will prompt him to offer you the egg.
- Both pokemon are of the same species
- The pokemon have different OTs
- You have the oval charm (prize from Prof. Bamb'o for 175 pokemon caught)(This is a passive buff and will not change the dialogue of the old man)

Note: The old man will only step up if the egg was generated while you were not on the map. If you have already claimed your egg, he will not return to his original position until you re-enter the map!
Because of this fact, if you are following this guide's method of hatching eggs, it's recommended that you speak to him periodically based on how likely you are to spawn an egg.
THE EGG WILL ALWAYS BE THE SPECIES OF THE FEMALE POKEMON!
This is pretty much why Female pokemon are more valuable than male ones.
The only exception to this is when breeding with the Ditto egg group. That will be exampled in the section below this one.
