'''Egg groups''' are categories which determine which {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are able to [[Pokémon breeding|interbreed]]. Similarly to the [[elemental types]], a Pokémon may belong to either one or two egg groups. | |||
Egg groups are decided by biological traits, which overall serves to allow Pokémon which are biologically similar to breed. However, there are some oddities which have been noted within egg groups: for example, the Ground egg group's standards are particularly broad, and many seemingly illogical pairings can be noted within it, such as {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}}. | |||
Egg groups are preserved along evolutionary lines; {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, and {{p|Gallade}} are all in the {{egg|Indeterminate}} group, while {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} are in the {{egg|Ground}} and {{egg|Fairy}}. [[Baby Pokémon]] are the only Pokémon besides {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, and {{p|Nidoqueen}} that are not in the same group as their evolutionary relatives; {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} are both in the {{egg2|No eggs}}, while {{p|Shedinja}} is in the {{egg2|Mineral}}, despite having no gender, and, as such, requiring {{p|Ditto}} to breed. | |||
==Breeding chains== | |||
Many Pokémon are included in two different egg groups and can form what are known as [[chain breeding|breeding chains]]. These link many unrelated Pokémon together, allowing moves that would not normally be accessible to certain Pokémon to be legal, like {{m|Heal Bell}} on {{p|Blissey}}. | |||
[[TM]]s are also passed down through breeding from the [[gender|father]]. Any move in the father's current moveset that can be learned via TM, [[egg move]], or [[move tutor]] (in Crystal) will be passed down to the Pokémon hatching from the egg. | |||
==Egg groups== | |||
