Then pull it out of the daycare (after paying the fee) and level it up to the next level yourself. Don't learn the move, and then return it to the daycare once more.

Also, Pokémon that evolve by leveling up ''will not evolve if they reach that level in daycare.'' They must be in your party in order for them to evolve. | |||
