Sometimes a move is programed as an Egg Move for a certain Pokémon, but there is no way of legitimately obtaining it. This happens when a Pokémon has an Egg Move that no Pokémon in their Egg Group can learn except as an Egg Move and there are no valid chain breeding pathways, or when the only Pokémon in their Egg Group that can learn the move cannot pass it to the Pokémon. This cannot occur for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Field}}, due to male {{p|Smeargle}} being able to pass down any Egg Move.
