Egg Move: Difference between revisions
This page is still awful, talking about all kinds of inherited moves rather than specifically Egg moves. I need to work on this page soon.

Before breeding a Pokémon, one must consider whether to use any Egg moves in that Pokémon's moveset, and breed accordingly. Sometimes, to get a certain combination of moves onto a Pokémon (such as a {{p|Spinda}} with both {{m|Wish}} and {{m|Baton Pass}}) several steps must be taken; this is called [[chain breeding]]. | Before breeding a Pokémon, one must consider whether to use any Egg moves in that Pokémon's moveset, and breed accordingly.

(Such a combination is possible in Generation VI, if one parent knows Rapid Spin and the other knows Mirror Coat.) | ||

If both parents know one or more moves that their offspring can learn by [[level]]ing up, the offspring will inherit that move. For example, {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Mismagius}} both know {{m|Mean Look}}, so their child, {{p|Misdreavus}} (who learns the move at level 19) will know it when it hatches. | If both parents know one or more moves that their offspring can learn by [[level]]ing up, the offspring will inherit that move.

In [[Generation VI]], the offspring no longer inherits TM or HM moves for this reason alone; however, some TM or HM moves can be inherited as Egg moves or due to being a level-up move. For example, {{p|Archen}} cannot inherit {{m|Roost}} (despite being compatible with [[TM19]]), but {{p|Fletchling}} can (because Fletchling learns it via level-up), and {{p|Vullaby}} can (because it is a specific Egg move for Vullaby). | |||

If | If either parent (male Pokémon only prior to Generation VI) knows an Egg move of the baby's species, that child will be born knowing the move (similar to the inheritance of TM moves described above). In Generation VI this includes some, but not all, moves which are available in TM form. | ||
