On Smogon's Movedex:

Soft-Boiled (Japanese: タマゴうみ Egg Lay), formatted as Softboiled prior to Pokémon X and Y, is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM41 in Generation I. It is the signature move of Chansey, Blissey, and in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Happiny as well.

Effect

In battle

Generation I

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Needs clarification on whether failure glitch occurs in the Japanese Pokémon Stadium You can discuss this on the talk page.

Soft-Boiled restores up to 50% of the user's maximum HP, rounded down. It will fail if the user's current HP is already equal to its maximum HP. Soft-Boiled has a PP of 10.

In the Generation I handheld games, Soft-Boiled will also fail if the difference between the user's maximum HP and current HP is 255 modulo 256 (i.e. if this difference is 255 or 511). This does not occur in Pokémon Stadium.

Generation II to IV

Soft-Boiled no longer fails if the difference between the user's maximum HP and current HP is 255 modulo 256.

Soft-Boiled can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Egg Bomb to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

Generation V to VIII

Soft-Boiled now restores 50% of the user's maximum HP, rounded up. If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Soft-Boiled, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Generation VIII

Heals the user by a percentage of its total HP

Generation IX

Soft-Boiled's PP has been reduced from 10 to 5.

Outside of battle

Prior to Generation VII and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Soft-Boiled can also be used outside of battle to transfer some of the user's HP to another party Pokémon. Each use will transfer 20% of the user's HP, up to the target's maximum HP. The move will not work if the user has 20% or less HP left.

Pokémon	Method
Chansey Healing
The user produces a glowing egg that enters its target, healing it.
User	First Used In	Notes
	The egg in Chansey's pouch glows yellow and she raises her arms into the air. When she does, a yellow glow in the shape of Chansey's egg rises from her pouch into the air. It then floats over to the target and melts into its body. As it does, the target's body becomes outlined in yellow, healing it.

Trivia

The TM for Soft-Boiled can be taught to the fewest number of Pokémon of any TM.
The NPC who gives out TM41 in Generation I says that only Chansey can learn Soft-Boiled. However, Mew's existence was supposed to be kept secret, which explains the apparent omission.
Although Soft-Boiled can be learned in Pokémon Emerald from a Move Tutor at the Battle Frontier, no Pokémon naturally available in the game are able to do so. Therefore, all Pokémon capable of using the Move Tutor must be traded into the game from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen or caught using an event item.
In Generation III, Soft-Boiled has several oversights:
- The summary states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user and thus ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
- If used immediately after Brick Break, the egg will be rendered as transparent rather than solid.
- In the 1.0 release of the English versions of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, whenever the player uses the move on a Pokémon that is fainted or at full health, the game says "This item can't be used on that Pokémon." In the 1.1 and 1.2 releases, the word "item" was removed.

 ==Trivia==
-* Although Soft-Boiled is available in {{game|Emerald}} as a Move Tutor move, all Pokémon able to be tutored the move must either be traded into the game from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} or caught using an [[Old Sea Map|event item]].
+* The [[TM]] for Soft-Boiled can be taught to the fewest number of Pokémon of any TM.
-* Male Pokémon can use this move despite its Japanese name being タマゴうみ ''Tamago Umi'', which can be translated to "egg lay".
+* The [[Non-player character|NPC]] who gives out [[TM41]] in [[Generation I]] says that only {{p|Chansey}} can learn Soft-Boiled. However, {{p|Mew}}'s existence was supposed to be kept secret, which explains the apparent omission.
-* In Generation III, if this move is used immediately after {{m|Brick Break}}, the egg that appears will be transparent rather than solid. This doesn't affect the execution of the move, however.
+* Although Soft-Boiled can be learned in {{game|Emerald}} from {{DL|Move Tutor|Battle Frontier Move Tutors|a Move Tutor at the Battle Frontier}}, no Pokémon naturally {{pkmn|availability|available}} in the game are able to do so. Therefore, all Pokémon capable of using the Move Tutor must be traded into the game from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} or caught using an [[Old Sea Map|event item]].
+* In [[Generation III]], Soft-Boiled has several oversights:
+** The [[summary]] states that the move has 100% [[accuracy]], even though it targets the user and thus ignores accuracy and {{DL|Stat|evasion}} checks.
+** If used immediately after {{m|Brick Break}}, the egg will be rendered as transparent rather than solid.
+** In the 1.0 release of the English versions of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, whenever the player uses the move on a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is [[Fainting|fainted]] or at full health, the game says "This item can't be used on that {{ScPkmn}}." In the 1.1 and 1.2 releases, the word "item" was removed.
