===Pokémon Nursery transference===
In [[Generation VIII]], 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]].
In [[Generation VIII]], 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]].
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.


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.

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.

If an Incense-bred baby Pokémon has an Egg Move that its evolved form does not have, it will lose the ability to pass on that Egg Move through the Pokémon Nursery upon evolution. However, in [[Generation VIII]], all Egg Moves exclusive to Incense-bred baby Pokémon are also learnable by their evolved forms by levelling up.
