Talk:Egg Move

Moves listed as "Start" on Pokemon that cannot be obtained through breeding

Pokemon at the top of the evolutionary chain, which cannot be obtained through breeding, have moves listed as "Start". For example, Togekiss learns aura sphere at the start, but there is no way to breed a Togekiss, as it is at the top of the evolutionary chain. Also, legendary Pokemon have moves listed at start, but they have no egg group. Can somebody explain this? - unsigned comment from Dreeb (talk • contribs)

No, egg moves are those gained in breeding, not at the "start". Start moves can only be learned through the move relearner. —darklordtrom 04:44, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Plural?

Why is the title Egg moves, instead of Egg move? --SnorlaxMonster 08:37, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

It's not any more. Titles should be in the singular. —darklordtrom 08:46, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Huston, I Have a Confusion

I bred the following two Pokémon:

	Types: Water Unknown Ability: Oblivious Held item: None
Moby♂ Lv.54
Water Spout Water Unknown   --       Amnesia Psychic Status   --       Dive Water Physical   --       Bounce Flying Physical   --

	Types: Normal Unknown Ability: Pickup Held item: None
Aipom♀ Lv.36
Baton Pass Normal Status   --       Tickle Normal Physical   --       Fury Swipes Normal Physical   --       Fling Dark Physical   --

And the offspring was

	Types: Normal Unknown Ability: Run Away Held item: None
Aipom♀ Lv.1
Scratch Normal Physical   --       Tail Whip Normal Status   --       Unknown Unknown   --       Unknown Unknown   --

With Aipom only knowing its two start moves. Shouldn't it have known Bounce, one of its egg moves? The only reason I can come up with is that Wailord learned Bounce in the Day-Care and wasn't taken out until after he bred with Aipom.

Please help! ----Zewis (29) 11:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Your only reason is right. Put them back in the daycare and try again, the eggs should hatch into Bounce Aipom this time. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 12:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you a lot. I'll try it. ----Zewis (29) 14:09, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

More confusion from someone else

I don't get it. My male tyranitar with dark pulse won't pass the move onto a newborn charmander. Why not?--Celibi25 16:50, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Charmander can't learn Dark Pulse by any method. So it will never have it as a newborn. Werdnae (talk) 18:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
