Talk:Dragon Dance (move)

Should we mention that Corphish and Barboach are the only pokemon that doesn't relate to reptilian or dragon that can learn dragon dance? But in my opinoin for Corphish.In Thailand lobster was called kungmunggon which can be translate as dragon shrimp. jomphol 11:49, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Breeding

Bred Dragon Dance onto Lapras (using Seadra) for Gen VI. How do I add that to the breeding table? Frozen Fennec 21:05, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Breeding moves

Correct me if I'm wrong, but whenever a Pokémon is bred and its father (and I'd assume mother in this newest generation) knows a move that the baby can learn whilst levelling up, the baby will always learn the move. As I understand it, this is always the case. As such I'd like to call into question why my edit here was undone. I removed it because it's redundant; if we're including Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite in the Dratini fathers' list, then why not Bagon, Shelgon, Salamence in Bagon's list, or Tropius in Tropius'?

I figure the confusion's probably based on the fact that the move had to be bred onto the Pokémon in Gen III, and since that generation (when it learns it levelling up anyway), people have just been looking to fill in the gap. Realistically I don't think the spaces for any generation past III need to be filled out at all considering it's a move the creature learns by experience. Concurrent (talk) 22:31, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Pokémon breeding#Passing moves down: "If both parents know a move that the baby can learn via leveling up, the Pokémon will inherit that move."

Not "whenever a Pokémon is bred and its father knows a move that the baby can learn whilst levelling up, the baby will always learn the move". You seem to be confusing that with Egg moves, which only one parent must know (the term "Egg move" gets used with some variability, but the unique application (and the one I mean here) is for these moves that only one parent must know).

While some level-up moves are that and that alone, and will always require two parents to know it for an Egg to inherit the move, it is possible for a move to be both a level-up move and an Egg move. For these, then, only one parent would actually need to know the move for it to be inherited.

I'm not entirely sure if that clears up any confusion, but there you go. Tiddlywinks (talk) 23:10, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
