 ===Passing moves down===
 The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
-* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1 (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).
+* By default, the baby Pokémon will start with any moves that it learns at level 1 (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).
-* The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Mach Punch}}, which {{p|Shroomish}} cannot learn).
+* If both parents know a move that the baby can learn via leveling up, the Pokémon will inherit that move.  (This does not apply to moves that only later evolutions can learn via level-up, such as {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Mach Punch}}, which {{p|Shroomish}} cannot learn.)
-* The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
+* If the father knows any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the baby is also compatible with, it will inherit the move.  This applies regardless of whether the father learned the move by TM or by another means (as long as the move is available by TM or HM in that specific generation).
-* The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.
+* If the father knows any specific [[Egg move]]s that the baby can learn, the baby will inherit the move.
-* Starting in [[Generation VI]], both the mother and the father can pass down moves to the baby.
-The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the [[Pokémon Day Care]].
-From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.
+If this would result in the baby posessing more than four moves, the moves take priority in the order listed: inherited Egg, TM and HM moves will take priority over inherited level-up moves, which themselves take priority over the baby's default moveset.
+In [[Generation VI]], TM/HM and egg moves can also be inherited from the mother, in addition to the father.
+From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart (or with Ditto) so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.
