An '''Egg Move'''<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/the-details-of-discovering-pokemon-eggs/ The Details of Discovering Pokémon Eggs | Pokemon.com]</ref> (Japanese: '''タマゴわざ''' ''Egg Move'') is a special [[move]] that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is able to inherit through {{pkmn|breeding}} from only one parent. Egg Moves often (but not always) cannot be learned through other means.


Egg Moves are one of several ways of inheriting moves from parents. Prior to Generation VI, a bred Pokémon will inherit any [[TM]]/[[HM]] moves which its father knows, if it is compatible with that TM/HM. In Pokémon Crystal, a bred Pokémon will inherit any compatible [[Move Tutor]] moves which its father knows. Additionally, if both parents know a move that the bred Pokémon can learn via level-up, it will inherit that move. From {{game|Emerald}} onward, a bred {{p|Pichu}} will know {{m|Volt Tackle}} if either of its parents are holding a [[Light Ball]]. However, inheriting moves in these ways is distinct from inheriting moves as Egg Moves.

===Obtaining Pokémon with Egg Moves===
===Obtaining Pokémon with Egg Moves===
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is also possible to encounter {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} that already know a random Egg Move as their first move. A few special Hidden Pokémon even appear on {{rt|102|Hoenn}} in fixed areas, and these particular Pokémon always have a particular Egg Move for their first move.
There are some situations where it is possible to encounter a Pokémon that knows an Egg Move in the wild.


In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Pokémon obtained via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} will know a certain move they would normally only know as an Egg Move. The exceptions, {{p|Klink}} and {{p|Eelektross}}, do not have any Egg Moves. Pokémon found in both Sun and Moon and its counterparts, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will know a different Egg Move in each pair.
In {{game|Emerald}}, {{p|Seedot}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}} encountered through a [[mass outbreak]] will know {{m|Leech Seed}}, a move otherwise only available to them as an Egg Move.

===Relearning Egg Moves===
===Relearning Egg Moves===
In Generation VI, if a Pokémon has a move it learned as an Egg Move in Generation VI and forgets it, it can be taught to the Pokémon again at the [[Move Reminder]]. Forgotten Egg Moves will be listed at the top of the list of moves that can be relearned, above the Pokémon's forgotten level-up moves.
From [[Generation VI]] onward, any move that a Pokémon knew when it hatched can be taught to it again by the [[Move Reminder]] if it ever forgets it. Forgotten hatched moves will be listed at the top of the list of moves that can be relearned, above the Pokémon's forgotten level-up moves.

===Mutually-exclusive Egg Moves===
===Mutually-exclusive Egg Moves===
Prior to [[Generation VI]], Egg Moves can only be inherited from the father Pokémon during breeding, making certain combinations of moves impossible to possess. Starting in Generation VI, this is no longer an issue, due to both parents being able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time.

For example, {{p|Tentacool}} can learn both {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as Egg Moves, but no Pokémon in the {{egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]] can possess both moves at the same time in any game prior to Generation VI, so it is impossible for Tentacool to inherit both moves together. However, starting in Generation VI, both parents are able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time, making it possible for a Tentacool to inherit these moves if each of its parents knows one of the moves.

====Incense breeding====
For families that have [[baby Pokémon]] which can only be produced when using [[Incense]], often the baby Pokémon and its evolved form have different Egg Moves. If each has an Egg Move that the other does not, and both moves are only available to that family as Egg Moves, the two moves become mutually exclusive.
For example, starting in [[Generation VI]], {{p|Budew}} has {{m|Extrasensory}} as an Egg Move while {{p|Roselia}} has {{m|Bullet Seed}} as an Egg Move, but neither has the other move as their own Egg Move. Because in Generation VI the Roselia line only has access to both moves as Egg Moves, a Roselia cannot know both moves simultaneously.
===Unobtainable Egg Moves===
Sometimes a move is programed as an Egg Move for a certain Pokémon, but there is no way of legitimately obtaining it. This happens when a Pokémon has an Egg Move that no Pokémon in their Egg Group can learn except as an Egg Move and there are no valid chain breeding pathways, or when the only Pokémon in their Egg Group that can learn the move cannot pass it to the Pokémon. This cannot occur for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}, due to male {{p|Smeargle}} being able to pass down any Egg Move.
The following is a full list of all unobtainable Egg Moves.

Since Smeargle can have any combination of possible Egg Moves to pass down to its offspring, there are no mutually-exclusive Egg Moves for any Pokémon in the Field Egg Group in any generation.
Since Smeargle can have any combination of possible Egg Moves to pass down to its offspring, there are no mutually-exclusive Egg Moves for any Pokémon in the Field Egg Group in any generation.
===Previous generation Egg Moves===
Some Pokémon have Egg Moves that no other Pokémon in their [[Egg Group]] can learn in that generation, but that an appropriate parent Pokémon in an earlier generation was able to learn.
For example, from [[Generation V]] onward {{p|Bagon}} can learn {{m|Defense Curl}} as an Egg Move, but no other families in the {{egg3|Dragon}} can learn Defense Curl in these generations. However, Defense Curl is a [[Move Tutor]] move in {{game|Emerald}} and a [[TM]] move in [[Generation II]], where it can be taught to some Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group (Alternately, in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Bagon encountered as {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} can know any Egg Move, including Defense Curl). One of these Pokémon is required to initially pass down Defense Curl to Bagon.
===Event-exclusive Egg Moves===
Some Pokémon have Egg Moves that no Pokémon in their [[Egg Group]] can learn except as an Egg Move, but a Pokémon in their Egg Group that knows the move was once available .
For example, from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, {{p|Dratini}} can learn {{m|Extreme Speed}} as an Egg Move, but no Pokémon in the {{egg3|Dragon}} can learn Extreme Speed other than as an Egg Move. However, in {{game|Crystal}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver, a {{pkmn2|gift}} Dratini received in the [[Dragon's Den]] can know Extreme Speed; additionally, in Generation V and VI there have been event distributions of a {{p|Dragonite}} that knows Extreme Speed. One of these gift or event distribution Pokémon is required to initially pass down Extreme Speed to Dratini.
