Most online Pokdéxes list moves from the third category as a Pokémon's Egg Moves. Before breeding a Pokémon, one must consider whether or not to use any Egg Moves in that Pokémon's moveset, and breed accordingly. To learn more than one Egg Move, since they are only passed on by the father, only a father Pokémon in the appropriate [[Egg Group]] that can legitimately have all of the moves in one moveset can be used. This makes certain combinations of Egg Moves impossible for certain Pokémon. Eg. {{p|Tentacruel}} has both {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as available Egg Moves, but no Pokémon in the Water 3 [[Egg Group]] can learn both moves so Tentacruel can't use both in the same moveset.

Sometimes to get a certain moveset onto a Pokemon, such as a Gible with Outrage and Thrash several steps must be taken. This is called [[chain breeding]].
