'''Chain breeding''' is the process of [[Pokémon breeding|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 which can learn the move as an Egg move, but cannot breed with the original Pokémon. | |||
Many moves must be chain bred, with these moves being more prevalent in earlier generations, as more Pokémon with larger learnsets and different Egg Group combinations continue to be introduced. What follows is a list of the steps needed to get an Eevee with {{m|Wish}} in [[Generation V]]: | |||

For example, taking the child Eevee with Wish and leveling it up so that it will learn {{m|Baton Pass}} at level 36, it can pass down '''''both''''' moves to a child {{p|Spinda}}, which cannot learn either of them normally. | ||

Many chains, however, are | 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 genderless species, such as {{m|Heal Bell}} in [[Generation II]] (exclusive to {{p|Miltank}} and {{p|Celebi}}). | ||
