In this article, it talks about how certain Pokémon cannot learn egg moves, and it points out that they generally cannot learn TMs or HMs either.  But the two examples it uses are Unown and Beldum, both of which are genderless as well as not learning TMs or HMs.  Would it be better to use an gendered example, like Caterpie or Tynamo? --'''[[User:Zewis29|<span style="color:green;">Zewis</span>]] [[User talk:Zewis29|<span style="color:blue;">(29)</span>]]''' 18:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

: Caterpie can inherit {{m|Bug Bite}} (a move it normally learns at Lv.15) if both parents knew the move when breeding, so it's not a good example either.  Also note that genderless Pokemon can never inherit any moves at all, due to lack of a "father" to inherit them from.  For now I'm going to rephrase that entry to say "genderless" instead of "certain".  (Tynamo is still a good example, though.)

== Other pokémon with egg moves ==
In the list of Pokémon that learn a move by breeding, can other Pokémon learn the move through Smeargle, if the said move cannot be chain bred?
For instance, assume in generation III games, the move Memento.
the move can only be learned by pokémon in the Amorphous group, and can't be chain bred to any other egg group because castform which is the only pokémon in another egg group (in gen III games) cannot learn it. But, if smeargle learns the move via Sketch, it might be able to pass it down as an egg move to other Pokémon in the field group. Yet still, pokémon in the field egg group aren't listed in this group. is it because this isn't possible, or is it just a mistake?
