It consists of {{pkmn|breeding}} a [[move]] to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can only learn it as an [[Egg Move]], then in turn using that Pokémon to pass down the move to another Pokémon that can learn the move as an Egg Move, but either cannot breed with the original Pokémon or cannot learn inherit the move directly from the original Pokémon. | ||
Many breeding chains, however, are far longer than the Wish chain, and breeding chains can get longer still if a specific set of four moves is wanted on a specific Pokémon. Most chains that begin in the {{egg3|Field}} are made easier by {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to learn any move through {{m|Sketch}}, and some, especially in early generations, explicitly require that a Smeargle Sketch a move that is otherwise exclusive to an all-female or [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] species, such as {{m|Heal Bell}} in [[Generation II]] exclusive to {{p|Miltank}} and {{p|Celebi}} or {{m|Lovely Kiss}} exclusive to {{p|Jynx}}. | Many breeding chains, however, are far longer than the Wish chain, and breeding chains can get longer still if a specific set of four moves is wanted on a specific Pokémon.
