===TM and HM moves===
If the male Pokémon knows a [[TM]] or [[HM]] move that the offspring can learn, the offspring will have that move. This applies whether or not the female Pokémon knows the move (or if {{p|Ditto}} was used in lieu of a female). In this example, the father, {{p|Gliscor}}, learns {{m|X-Scissor}} naturally, and his child, {{p|Joltik}}, can learn the same move through [[TM81]], so it will know this move upon hatching.
If the male Pokémon knows a [[TM]] or [[HM]] move that the offspring can learn, the offspring will have that move. This applies whether or not the female Pokémon knows the move (or if {{p|Ditto}} was used in lieu of a female), and whether or not a TM or HM was actually used to teach the move to the parent. In this example, the father, {{p|Gliscor}}, learns {{m|X-Scissor}} naturally (i.e. by level up), and his child, {{p|Joltik}}, can learn the same move through [[TM81]], so it will know this move upon hatching.

Prior to [[Generation V]], this was the only way to "reuse" one-of-a-kind TMs, like the ones obtained from [[Gym Leader]]s.
Prior to [[Generation V]], this was the only way to "reuse" one-of-a-kind TMs, like the ones obtained from [[Gym Leader]]s.
Because TMs vary between generations, the specific moves that can be inherited in this manner also vary between generations:  e.g. a {{p|Zubat}} can learn {{m|Roost}} as an egg move in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation VI]], but not in Generation V (where Roost was not available by TM).
