 I don't get it. My male tyranitar with dark pulse won't pass the move onto a newborn charmander. Why not?--[[User:Celibi25|Celibi25]] 16:50, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 :Charmander can't learn Dark Pulse by any method. So it will never have it as a newborn. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 18:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
+== Possible Correction Regarding Gen III Mechanics ==
+I was using a CodeBreaker GBA device to experiment with the mechanics behind breeding in FireRed, and found that if I inserted an artificially designed Pokemon that knew moves that it normally should not in to a box in my PC, withdrew it and placed in in the Daycare with a breeding-compatible Pokemon, the impossible move would be passed on two the offspring, even if said move was not possible for the offspring to normally learn either.
+Here's a case scenario:
+A Male Charmander that has been created with a normal moveset with the exception of one move: Perish Song. Normally a Charmander cannot learn this move.
+A Female Marowack with an ordinary moveset (unhacked).
+When bred, I produced a Cubone which knew Perish Song, despite the fact Cubone too should not be able to learn the move.
+I just think it's an interesting anecdote regarding breeding-mechanics that, at least in FireRed, it appears that during the breeding process, the game assumes that the father's moveset is valid and does not actually check it (which makes sense in normal circumstances) when passing moves on to offspring. This may be useful should future glitches that could result from this lack of checking, are discovered.
