You can ride your  chocobo and breed it with other  chocobos once it reaches a certain  developmental stage. "280","62","-95","30" &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Beginning the Chocobo Raising Process&style; &style=spacer01; &style;  To start raising a  chocobo, you must first  have an egg, which can  be acquired from a shop  or a battlefield. Trade your egg to a VCS chocobo trainer  at the chocobo stables of San d'Oria, Bastok, or Windurst  to begin the chocobo raising process. You can speak to a  chocoguy for additional advice on raising chocobos. &pre=01;&style=Ty15; *You cannot trade an egg to a VCS chocobo trainer if you   are already raising a chocobo. &style=spacer01; &style;  *You can only care for your chocobo at the stables where   you first traded your egg. If you want to raise a chocobo   in a different nation, you must first give up raising the   chocobo you are currently caring for. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;VCS Chocobo Trainers (NPCs)&style; &style=spacer01; &style;  ・San d’Orian stables: Hantileon  ・Bastokan stables: Zopago  ・Windurstian stables: Pulonono &style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Chocoguys (NPCs)&style; &style=spacer01; &style;  ・San d’Orian stables: Arvilauge  ・Bastokan stables: Gonija  ・Windurstian stables: Kiria-Romaria "277","69","-92","30" &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Caring for Your Chocobo&style; &style=spacer01; &style;  You can access a list of  chocobo care options by  speaking to a VCS  chocobo trainer. At first,  you will find options to provide direct care for your  chocobo or create a care plan, but as your chocobo  matures, the options will gradually increase to include  riding your chocobo and matchmaking. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Direct Care&style; &style=spacer01; &style;  Talk to a VCS chocobo trainer and choose "Care for your  chocobo" to provide your chocobo with direct care.  You are not required to directly care for your chocobo,  but doing so will result in bonds of affection that may have  positive effects on your animal. Also, directly caring for  your chocobo may cure several status abnormalities. &style=spacer01; &style; &style=Ty14; *The types of direct care available will gradually increase as the   chocobo matures.  *You must fulfill certain conditions before your chocobo is able   to compete against others.
