===Day Care transference===
===Pokémon Nursery transference===
Starting in [[Generation VIII]], by placing a Pokémon that knows an Egg Move in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] along with another Pokémon of the same species with an empty move slot, the Egg Move can be transferred to the second Pokémon. Egg Moves are transferred in descending order on the move list, so if the Pokémon learning moves has less move slots than there are Egg Moves known by the other Pokémon, only the moves highest up on the teaching Pokémon's move list are learned, up to the number of empty slots. This can be done even if the two Pokémon are the same [[gender]]. Since the [[Gigantamax]] Factor cannot be passed down through breeding, this is the only way for Gigantamax Pokémon to learn Egg Moves.
In [[Generation VIII]], if two Pokémon of the same species are placed together in the [[Pokémon Nursery]], if one of the Pokémon has an empty move slot and the other knows an Egg Move, the Pokémon with the empty slot will learn the Egg Move. This will occur even if the Pokémon are the same [[gender]].
 
Egg Moves are transferred in the same order they appear on the move list; if the Pokémon learning moves has fewer move slots than the number of Egg Moves known by the other Pokémon, only the moves highest up on the teaching Pokémon's move list are learned, up to the number of empty slots.
 
Since hatched Pokémon cannot have the [[Gigantamax]] Factor, this is the only way for Gigantamax Pokémon to learn Egg Moves.
