Egg Move: Difference between revisions

* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, some Pokémon encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s and wild Terastalized Pokémon will know Egg moves.

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.

Prior to [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion, this was the only way for Pokémon with the [[Gigantamax Factor]] to learn 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 (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.

| {{p|Nidoran♀}} can learn Charm by breeding and is in the Monster Egg Group, but cannot pass the move down due to being female-only.

| {{m|Lovely Kiss}}

| Its evolved form, {{p|Jynx}}, can learn the move, but cannot pass the move down due to being female-only. While female Pokémon can pass down Egg Moves from Generation VI onward, making this Egg Move possible, Smoochum no longer has Lovely Kiss as an Egg Move.

| {{m|Ally Switch}}

| Several Pokémon in the Human-Like Egg Group can learn Ally Switch, but because the Tyrogue evolutionary line is male-only and none of its evolutions can learn Ally Switch, it cannot inherit the Egg Move from any of them.

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.
