Wild pokemon with egg move
Hello !!
Well, this night (midnight event at ebGames) I started my Omega Ruby game. The first pokemon I encountered was a Poochyenna, and it attacked me with... Thunder Fang. I catched it, level 5 and moves: Thunder fang and Howl. I saw some other Poochyenna, level 5 and tackle, no thunder fang... Did you found some pokemon with egg moves in the wild? Is it rare? Is it new or I just never realize this before? :o |
It's the new DexNav feature, where the Pokemon stick out and you sneak up on them. Unfortunately regular wild Pokemon can't have them. (At least I don't think so)
When May told me about the sneaking thing for the first time and had me test it on a Poochyena, it had Thunder Fang. And I was using the DexNav to search for Taillow with good egg moves on Route 116, and I found one with Boomburst. lol And it's not really rare, just make sure to use the DexNav. |
Mine has Fire Fang, I also got Surskit with Bug Bite and Seedot with Razor Wind. I hope I can get a Taillow with Boomburst later, it's annoying to breed for one since you need Noivern at lv 75 to learn Boomburst.

So, how long should it take to find a Shroomish with Drain Punch? I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to tutor the move instead until the post-game (I would check, but I want to avoid spoilers along the way).

I don't have the game just yet, but this is still a really cool feature. As I mentioned in the DCC, shofu got himself a Level 15 Taillow with Boomburst before he even reached Rustboro City, which probably would have swept him if he didn't have the shiny Beldum. That's something that can get pretty game-breaking!
|
I like the feature but dexnav confuses me still. It gives quite a bit of info but not all of it is explained (atleast hasn't been where I'm up to)
But I'm slowly catching an army of tallows with different egg moves (seems to be the most common poke for me) |
I had a level 12 ralts appear this morning with a potential star of 1, little did I know the ralts knew teleport and left.
|
I managed to get a Scrappy Taillow after a while. This seems dexnav act as kind of Friend Safari for every pokemons that can be caught in the wild.
|
Omg I will spend too much time on this feature :o I want a Taillow with boomburst now! :)
|
If there's a rustling pokemon nearby, tap the bottom screen set to the dexnav. Once you're close enough to it, it will show you what it is, the special move and ability of it (if it has one, I don't think it's guaranteed).
I got a tailow with brave bird just now, so I guess I'm keeping it. |
Yes I did catch a few wild Pokemon with an egg move in Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. The ones I caught were a Surskit that knew Fell Stinger, a Shroomish that knew Seed Bomb, and a Zigzagoon that knew Tickle. Of the three I found, two of them I am happy with, one of them being the Shroomish. This because it is easier than waiting till Shroomish reaches level 41 to learn that move. The one I am not happy with is the Zigzagoon since it has the Gluttony ability, not Pickup.

If I get omega ruby I will hunt for shadow sneak ralts.
|
Do you get the same egg moves for various pokemon, or can any wild pokemon have any possible egg move it can learn? And is it always just the one egg move at a time, or can there be multiple?

And I think it's only one at a time, at least that's what it's been for me. |

I really like the DexNav feature! I caught a Taillow with Roost, a Poochyena with Fire Fang, and a Slakoth with Crush Claw. Definitely a plus since I love having Pokemon that know egg moves. Oh and I also caught a Plusle holding Cell Battery.
|
I don't believe it's rare. I got one, too, after all! I wasn't going to use her at first because it felt like I was cheating, somehow, but I got attached and now she's my main Pokemon! It is a rather nifty feature, I think.
|
I caught a Surskit with Hydro Pump! New feature in this game, it's really great.
|
So when you already caught the pokemon, you can search for it and some have 10 more levels, egg moves and sometime HA. I got a Tailow level 15 (supposed to be level 5) with bravr bird. I keep it!!
|
I actually cought a few, but the one I'm using is the poocheyenna (now mighteyenna) with thunder fang. I don't have my game on me at the moment but I know I have a skitty and a surskit with an egg move (again, don't have my game on me to check them, so I can't post what they are). But I do think it's cool how you can check those things now.
|
So far, I've caught Fell Stinger Surskit, Teeter Dance Lotad and Roost Taillow (latter is pointless when Roost is a TM).
There was this one time when a Boomburst Taillow nearly swept my team (I reset before it had the chance to do that). |
This feature is unfair to surfing pokemon.
