| | An '''Egg Move'''<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/the-details-of-discovering-pokemon-eggs/ The Details of Discovering Pokémon Eggs | Pokemon.com]</ref> (Japanese: '''タマゴわざ''' ''Egg Move'') is a special [[move]] that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is able to inherit through {{pkmn|breeding}} from only one parent. Egg Moves often (but not always) cannot be learned through other ways. |
| An '''Egg move''' is any move passed down from a [[Pokémon breeding]] pair to their offspring, which it would not normally possess at the level it hatches. The term is also frequently used specifically for moves that a Pokémon can acquire only from breeding (i.e. moves that the offspring cannot learn via level-up, TM or HM, or [[Move Tutor]]), though a Pokémon can inherit moves from its parents in other ways. | |
|
| |
|
| Before breeding a Pokémon, one must consider whether to use any Egg moves in that Pokémon's moveset, and breed accordingly. Sometimes, to get a certain combination of moves onto a Pokémon (such as a {{p|Spinda}} with both {{m|Wish}} and {{m|Baton Pass}}) several steps must be taken; this is called [[chain breeding]].
| | Egg Moves are one of several ways of inheriting moves from parents. Prior to Generation VI, a bred Pokémon will inherit any [[TM]]/[[HM]] moves which its father knows, if it is compatible with that TM/HM. In Pokémon Crystal, a bred Pokémon will inherit any compatible [[Move Tutor]] moves which its father knows. Additionally, if both parents know a move that the bred Pokémon can learn via level-up, it will inherit that move. From {{game|Emerald}} onward, a bred {{p|Pichu}} will know {{m|Volt Tackle}} if either of its parents are holding a [[Light Ball]]. However, inheriting moves in these ways is distinct from inheriting moves as Egg Moves. |
|
| |
|
| Prior to [[Generation VI]], all methods of learning Egg moves required the father to know the move prior to breeding, which made certain combinations of moves impossible to possess: e.g. {{p|Tentacruel}} can learn both {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as Egg moves, but no Pokémon in the Water 3 [[Egg Group]] can possess both moves at the same time. (Such a combination is possible in Generation VI, if one parent knows Rapid Spin and the other knows Mirror Coat).
| | ==Mechanics== |
| | ===Breeding=== |
| | If either parent (the male parent only prior to Generation VI) knows a move that is an Egg Move for the child's [[Pokémon (species)|species]], that child will be born knowing the move. |
|
| |
|
| ==Rules of Egg move breeding==
| | For example, if a male {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Outrage}} is bred with a female {{p|Charizard}} that knows {{m|Flare Blitz}}, the resulting {{p|Charmander}} will know Outrage and Flare Blitz (or only Outrage, prior to Generation VI). |
| ===Level-up moves===
| |
| If both parents know one or more moves that their offspring can learn by [[level]]ing up, the offspring will inherit that move. For example, {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Mismagius}} both know {{m|Mean Look}}, so their child, {{p|Misdreavus}} (who learns the move at level 19) will know it when it hatches.

| Note that {{p|Ditto}} cannot be used to pass down moves in this manner, because the only move it possesses is {{m|Transform}}.
| |
| | |
| ===TM and HM moves===
| |
| Prior to Generation VI, if the male Pokémon knows a [[TM]] or [[HM]] move that the offspring can learn, the offspring will inherit that move. This applies whether or not the female Pokémon knows the move (or if {{p|Ditto}} was used in lieu of a female), and regardless of how the father originally learned the move.
| |
| | |
| In this example, the father, {{p|Gliscor}}, learns {{m|X-Scissor}} by level up, and his child, {{p|Joltik}}, can learn the same move through [[TM81]], so it will know this move upon hatching.

| | |
| Prior to [[Generation V]], this was the only way to "reuse" one-of-a-kind TMs, like the ones obtained from [[Gym Leader]]s.
| |
| | |
| As of [[Generation VI]], the offspring no longer inherits TM or HM moves automatically, but may still be able to inherit the move by another means: For example, {{p|Archen}} cannot inherit {{m|Roost}} as an egg move (despite being compatible with [[TM19]]), but {{p|Fletchling}} can (because Fletchling learns it via level-up), and {{p|Vullaby}} can as well (because it is a specific Egg move for Vullaby).
| |
| | |
| ===Egg moves===
| |
| If the male Pokémon (or, as of Generation VI, either parent) knows a move that the offspring can learn only via breeding, the offspring will be born knowing the move (similar to the inheritance of TM moves described above). In Generation VI this includes some, but not all, moves which are available in TM form.
| |
| | |
| For example, if a male {{p|Dragonite}} knowing {{m|Outrage}} is bred with a female {{p|Charizard}} knowing {{m|Flare Blitz}}, the resulting {{p|Charmander}} will know Outrage (and, in Generation VI, Flare Blitz). | |

| ===Default moves=== | | ===Obtaining Pokémon with Egg Moves=== |
| In addition to (or in the absence of) any inherited moves, the offspring Pokémon will know at least one default move when hatched, labeled in their level up move list as either "Start" or "--" in lieu of a level number. If this would result in the offspring possessing more than four moves, the inherited moves take priority and the moves on top of their level up move list (with "Start" or "--") will be the ones that are not learned. (If desired, the player may consult a [[Move Reminder]] to acquire those moves.) | | In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is also possible to encounter {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} that already know a random Egg Move as their first move. A few special Hidden Pokémon even appear on {{rt|102|Hoenn}} in fixed areas, and these particular Pokémon always have a particular Egg Move for their first move. |
| | |
| | In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Pokémon obtained via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} will know a certain move they would normally only know as an Egg Move. The exceptions, {{p|Klink}} and {{p|Eelektross}}, do not have any Egg Moves. |
|
| |
|
| ==Special cases== | | ===Relearning Egg Moves=== |
| ===Breeding with Incense===
| | In Generation VI, if a Pokémon has a move it learned as an Egg Move in Generation VI and forgets it, it can be taught to the Pokémon again at the [[Move Reminder]]. Forgotten Egg Moves will be listed at the top of the list of moves that can be relearned, above the Pokémon's forgotten level-up moves. |
| [[Incense]]-bred Pokémon often have a different or expanded Egg move list than their evolved forms, due to being classified in the Pokédex as a different species. | |

| ! style="background:#{{water color dark}}; {{roundytl|5px}};" | {{color|{{water color light}}|Parents}}
| | Prior to [[Generation VI]], Egg Moves can only be inherited from the father Pokémon during breeding, making certain combinations of moves impossible to possess. Starting in Generation VI, this is no longer an issue, due to both parents being able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time. |

| | For example, {{p|Tentacool}} can learn both {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as Egg Moves, but no Pokémon in the {{egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]] can possess both moves at the same time in any game prior to Generation VI, so it is impossible for Tentacool to inherit both moves together. However, starting in Generation VI, both parents are able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time, making it possible for a Tentacool to inherit these moves if each of its parents knows one of the moves. |

| | In some cases, a Pokémon species has an Egg Move, but other Pokémon in its Egg Group can also only learn that move as an Egg Move.

An Egg Move[1] (Japanese: タマゴわざ Egg Move) is a special move that a Pokémon is able to inherit through breeding from only one parent. Egg Moves often (but not always) cannot be learned through other ways.
Egg Moves are one of several ways of inheriting moves from parents. Prior to Generation VI, a bred Pokémon will inherit any TM/HM moves which its father knows, if it is compatible with that TM/HM. In Pokémon Crystal, a bred Pokémon will inherit any compatible Move Tutor moves which its father knows. Additionally, if both parents know a move that the bred Pokémon can learn via level-up, it will inherit that move. From Pokémon Emerald onward, a bred Pichu will know Volt Tackle if either of its parents are holding a Light Ball. However, inheriting moves in these ways is distinct from inheriting moves as Egg Moves.
Mechanics
Breeding
If either parent (the male parent only prior to Generation VI) knows a move that is an Egg Move for the child's species, that child will be born knowing the move.
For example, if a male Dragonite that knows Outrage is bred with a female Charizard that knows Flare Blitz, the resulting Charmander will know Outrage and Flare Blitz (or only Outrage, prior to Generation VI).
Obtaining Pokémon with Egg Moves
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is also possible to encounter Hidden Pokémon that already know a random Egg Move as their first move. A few special Hidden Pokémon even appear on Route 102 in fixed areas, and these particular Pokémon always have a particular Egg Move for their first move.
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon obtained via Island Scan will know a certain move they would normally only know as an Egg Move. The exceptions, Klink and Eelektross, do not have any Egg Moves.
Relearning Egg Moves
In Generation VI, if a Pokémon has a move it learned as an Egg Move in Generation VI and forgets it, it can be taught to the Pokémon again at the Move Reminder. Forgotten Egg Moves will be listed at the top of the list of moves that can be relearned, above the Pokémon's forgotten level-up moves.
Quirks
Mutually-exclusive Egg Moves
Prior to Generation VI, Egg Moves can only be inherited from the father Pokémon during breeding, making certain combinations of moves impossible to possess. Starting in Generation VI, this is no longer an issue, due to both parents being able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time.
For example, Tentacool can learn both Rapid Spin and Mirror Coat as Egg Moves, but no Pokémon in the Water 3 Egg Group can possess both moves at the same time in any game prior to Generation VI, so it is impossible for Tentacool to inherit both moves together. However, starting in Generation VI, both parents are able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time, making it possible for a Tentacool to inherit these moves if each of its parents knows one of the moves.
Chain breeding
- Main article: Chain breeding
In some cases, a Pokémon species has an Egg Move, but other Pokémon in its Egg Group can also only learn that move as an Egg Move. In such cases, the move must be bred through a series of intermediate Pokémon that are in multiple Egg Groups. This process is referred to by fans as chain breeding.
For example, Spinda can learn Wish as an Egg Move and is in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups, but the other Pokémon in those Egg Groups can only learn Wish as an Egg Move. To solve this, a Pokémon like Skitty could learn the move as an Egg Move from Togetic, then breed it onto a Spinda.
