egg moves now some one explain to me exactly what is meant by this. sorry lol.
eggs have moves these days
Egg moves are moves passed down to other Pokémon by breeding. When breeding, the offspring will be of the same species as the female Pokémon, while the father can pass moves forward to the offspring.
I'll explain you the basics of how moves are passed on:
1. If the mother and father both know a move that they can learn by levelling up, and the baby can learn the same move by level, that move will be passed forward to the baby.
example:
If you have, let's say you have a Girafarig and Farfetch'd and their movesets are like this:
Girafarig Farfetch'd
-Stomp
-Foresight
-Agility
-Peck
-Confusion
-Agility
-Psybeam
-Fury attack
(a horrible movesets, I know, but they are just examples)
If you'd breed these two Pokémon and you'd have a female Girafarig, you'd get a Girafarig with a moveset like this:
-Tackle
-Growl
-Foresight
-Agility
Now you might wonder where Foresight came for, because Girafarig does not learn Foresight by leveling up, this brings us to another important thing about breeding: As I said before, egg moves are special moves passed down to the baby if one or more of the father's moves are on the Female Pokémon's egg move list.
Sometimes egg moves might require a breeding chain, like in my example. Farfetch'd learns Foresight from Hoothoot, meaning, that, first you'd have to breed a male Hoothoot knowing Foresight with a female Farfetch'd and then breed a male baby of those two Pokémon with a female Girafarig.
Also, if the mother's lowest form can learn a TM move the father has, that move is also passed forward.
You probaly didn't understand much of what I said, because I suck at explaining things, so just check out psypokes.com for a better explanation about egg moves.
