    I breed quite often, but I've only bred certain types and genders, and one thing has escaped me has now become an issue: breeding a certain gender to learn egg moves. My dilemma: I need a baby Chimchar that knows Thunderpunch. I know I could breed with, say... a Jolteon. But the starter is male. How exactly do I get the dominant moves from the male if I need a female of the same Pokemon I'm trying to breed? Am I missing something? perhaps I don't know as much about breeding as I thought. Any help is appreciated.
     
    You'll need to breed the Chimchar with Ditto to get a female Chimchar so that the moves can be passed down. There's no other way unfortunately.

    Ah, that was a question I meant to ask and forgot about. I'm guessing the answer to my "Can a ditto and a male Pokemon produce an egg?" question is yes, which is simply another thing I've forgotten about after all these years (I basically skipped the 3rd gen until a while before D/P came out).
     
    Jolteon can't even learn Thunderpunch, so breeding a Chimchar (male) without Thunderpunch in order to get a Chimchar with Thunderpunch would be completely irrelevant.

    Breed a female Chimchar with one of the following in its male version while it also knows Thunderpunch.

    Ampharos
    Kadabra/Alakazam
    Elekid/Electabuzz/Electivire
    Medicham
    Hitmonchan
    Pikachu/Raichu

    LOL, yeah, that was dumb, I just used whatever I could think of as an example that I knew you could successfully breed with. Thanks.
