Pokémon breeding: Difference between revisions

===Passing moves down===

{{incomplete|section|needs=Results (pertaining to TM and HM inheritance when a genderless Pokémon breeds with Ditto) need to be checked in the games of Generation 4 (other than Platinum), and 5}}

The [[move]]s obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:

* Prior to Generation VI, if the father knows any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Move Tutor]] moves) that the baby is also compatible with, it will inherit the move. If a genderless Pokémon breeds with Ditto, the resultant baby will inherit any compatible TM or HM moves that the genderless non-Ditto Pokémon parent knows.

**Any passable moves the mother knows now take priority over the father's moves.

* From {{game|Emerald}} onward, for a baby {{p|Pichu}}, if either parent is holding a [[Light Ball]], the Pichu will know {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Volt Tackle cannot be passed down as a normal Egg move.
