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.
An '''Egg Move'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210506221632/https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/the-details-of-discovering-pokemon-eggs/ The Details of Discovering Pokémon Eggs | Pokemon.com] (archived)</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.
Aside from Egg Moves, there are several other 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.

===Breeding===
If either parent (the male parent only prior to Generation VI) knows a move that is an Egg Move for the child's [[Pokémon (species)|species]], that child will be born knowing the move.
If either parent (only the male parent prior to [[Generation VI]]) knows a move that is an Egg Move for the child's [[Pokémon (species)|species]], that child will be born knowing the move.


For example, if a male {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Outrage}} is bred with a female {{p|Charizard}} that knows {{m|Flare Blitz}}, the resulting {{p|Charmander}} will know Outrage and Flare Blitz (or only Outrage, prior to Generation VI).
For example, if a male {{p|Snorlax}} that knows {{m|Belly Drum}} is bred with a female {{p|Charizard}} that knows {{m|Dragon Rush}}, the resulting {{p|Charmander}} will know Belly Drum and Dragon Rush (or only Belly Drum, prior to Generation VI).

There are some situations where it is possible to encounter a Pokémon that knows an Egg Move in the wild.


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.
* 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.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is 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 specific Egg Move as their first move.
* 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 specific Egg Move (unless they have none).
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Brilliant Pokémon]] will know a random Egg Move.
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pokémon found in {{DL|Grand Underground|Pokémon Hideaways}} may know a random Egg Move, excluding the moves that the Pokémon also learn via level-up.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, some Pokémon encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s and wild Terastalized Pokémon will know Egg moves.


In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is 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 specific Egg Move as their first move.
===Egg Move transference===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it is possible to transfer Egg Moves between Pokémon.


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 specific Egg Move (unless they have none).
====Pokémon Nursery====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, 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.
 
Only Egg Moves for the Pokémon's current species can be transferred. If the Pokémon has a [[Baby Pokémon]] as a pre-evolved form that has different Egg Moves, those moves cannot be transferred by evolved Pokémon this way. For example, {{p|Munchlax}} has {{m|Belch}} as an Egg Move, but {{p|Snorlax}} does not; even if two Snorlax are placed in the Pokémon Nursery, one knowing Belch and one with an empty move slot, Belch will never be transferred because it is not an Egg Move for Snorlax.
 
Prior to [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion, this was the only way for Pokémon with the [[Gigantamax Factor]] to learn Egg Moves.
 
====Picnic====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, if the player goes on a [[picnic]] while one of their party Pokémon holds a [[Mirror Herb]] and has at least one empty move slot, they may learn an Egg Move from another party member. This is the only way for male-only and gender unknown Pokémon, as well as Battle Bond {{p|Greninja}} and Bloodmoon {{p|Ursaluna}} to inherit Egg Moves.


===Relearning Egg Moves===
===Relearning Egg 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.
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 (unless the Pokémon is given a [[battle-ready symbol]]), regardless of whether that move is an Egg Move. 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.
 
Egg Moves transferred through the [[Pokémon Nursery]] in [[Generation VIII]] cannot be relearned from the Move Reminder if forgotten.
 
Egg Moves transferred using a [[Mirror Herb]] in [[Generation IX]] cannot be relearned using the Move Reminder feature if forgotten, but can instead be retaught using the Mirror Herb again.

====Incense breeding====
====Incense breeding====
Another situation that may cause Egg Moves to be mutually-exclusive is when the offspring of a certain species may hatch either as the [[Baby Pokémon|baby form]] (when the parent is holding the appropriate [[Incense]]) or as the first evolution. This happens because a baby Pokémon may have different Egg Moves than its evolution.
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. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], 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]], a {{p|Roselia}} can only learn {{m|Extrasensory}} as an Egg Move if it hatched as a {{p|Budew}}, but can also only learn {{m|Bullet Seed}} when hatched as a Roselia. As a result, a Roselia cannot know both moves simultaneously.
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===
===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.
In some games, sometimes a move is programed as an Egg Move for a certain Pokémon, but there was no way of legitimately obtaining it (without using glitches). 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.
 
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, because Pokémon transferred into the game from other games have their movesets temporarily reset, several Egg Moves that had been possible to learn in previous games were unobtainable in these games until the 3.0.0 {{g|HOME}} update.
 
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, because Egg Moves can be passed using a [[Mirror Herb]] regardless of Egg Groups, any move that can be learned by at least one Pokémon can be inherited as an Egg Move. However on release of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, because there were some moves that no Pokémon could learn, there were still several Egg Moves that are unobtainable. These became available when {{g|HOME}} updated to 3.0.0.


The following is a full list of all unobtainable Egg Moves.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s will know Egg Moves.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the {{DL|Treasure Town|Chansey Day Care}} will know Egg Moves. They will know enough moves to fill their initial moveset, meaning that a species with one move at level 1 will be given three random Egg Moves, which is determined when the hatched Pokémon joins the team. The hatched Pokémon's species and gender are determined when completing the mission in the dungeon. Additionally, in Explorers of Sky, some choices for the player and partner's species will initially know a set Egg Move. Egg Moves cannot be relearned if the player chooses to forget them. It should be noted that unlike [[core series]] games prior to [[Generation VI]], it is possible for non-{{egg|Field}} Pokémon to learn any Egg Move combinations.
 
Although Eggs are not present from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] onwards, [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]] return to giving an Egg Move to certain [[first partner Pokémon]] species. Unlike Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, they can be relearned by the player and, in Super Mystery Dungeon, even taught to other Pokémon of that species.

[[File:Azurill Sing.png|thumb|250px|An {{p|Azurill}} using {{m|Sing}}, a move it learned from a {{p|Jigglypuff}} while in an Egg]]
In ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encountered a group of {{p|Lotad}} that knew {{m|Water Gun}}, [[Max]] mentioned that usually Lotad can't learn Water Gun, alluding to its Egg Move status for Lotad [[Generation III|at the time]].
 
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', a scenario similar to Egg Moves was presented by [[Professor Cerise]]. While Ash and [[Goh]] were looking after a [[Ash's Riolu|Pokémon Egg]], the Professor told them a story of a {{p|Jigglypuff}} who {{m|Sing|sang}} to an {{p|Azurill}} Egg everyday. When it hatched, the Azurill sang the same song Jigglypuff sang to it.
