Prior to Generation VI, Egg Moves can only be inherited from the father Pokémon during breeding, making certain combinations of moves impossible to possess. Forgotten hatched moves will be listed at the top of the list of moves that can be relearned, above the Pokémon's forgotten level-up moves.Įgg Moves transferred through the Pokémon Nursery in Generation VIII cannot be relearned from the Move Reminder if forgotten. Prior to The Isle of Armor expansion, this was the only way for Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor to learn Egg Moves.įrom Generation VI onward, any move that a Pokémon knew when it hatched can be taught to it again by the Move Reminder if it ever forgets it (unless the Pokémon is given a battle-ready symbol), regardless of whether that move is an Egg Move. For example, Munchlax has Belch as an Egg Move, but Snorlax does not even if two Snorlax are placed in the Pokémon Nursery, one knowing Belch and one with an empty move slot, Belch will never be transferred because it is not an Egg Move for Snorlax.Įgg Moves are transferred in the same order they appear on the move list if the Pokémon learning moves has fewer move slots than the number of Egg Moves known by the other Pokémon, only the moves highest up on the teaching Pokémon's move list are learned, up to the number of empty slots. If the Pokémon has a Baby Pokémon as a pre-evolved form that has different Egg Moves, those moves cannot be transferred by evolved Pokémon this way.
Only Egg Moves for the Pokémon's current species can be transferred. This will occur even if the Pokémon are the same gender. In Generation VIII, if two Pokémon of the same species are placed together in the Pokémon Nursery, if one of the Pokémon has an empty move slot and the other knows an Egg Move, the Pokémon with the empty slot will learn the Egg Move. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon found in Pokémon Hideaways may know a random Egg Move, excluding the moves that the Pokémon also learn via level-up.In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Brilliant Pokémon will know a random Egg Move.In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Pokémon obtained via Island Scan will know a specific Egg Move (unless they have none).A few special Hidden Pokémon even appear on Route 102 in fixed areas, and these particular Pokémon always have a specific Egg Move as their first move.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is possible to encounter Hidden Pokémon that already know a random Egg Move as their first move.In Pokémon Emerald, Seedot and Nuzleaf encountered through a mass outbreak will know Leech Seed, a move otherwise only available to them as an Egg Move.There are some situations where it is possible to encounter a Pokémon that knows an Egg Move in the wild. Instead of doing an actual playthrough, I could post updates in this thread if anyone wants to know how its going.If either parent (only the male parent prior to Generation VI) knows a move that is an Egg Move for the child's species, that child will be born knowing the move.įor example, if a male Snorlax that knows Belly Drum is bred with a female Charizard that knows Dragon Rush, the resulting Charmander will know Belly Drum and Dragon Rush (or only Belly Drum, prior to Generation VI).
If there is a way to do an egglocke for GBA games/hacks, please let me know and how to do it. Isn't there a hack floating around called Perfect Platinum or something like that? If I can find it and get that, it will be a choice as well.
So that leaves Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, Black/White, Black 2/White 2, Blaze Black/Volt White, or Blaze Black 2/ Volt White 2. If anyone does not know they could send me eggs, I'm sure there will be some users here who could explain it or you could always use Google.Īlso, which game should I do the egglocke on? I'm not really looking to do one on HeartGold/Soulsilver or the Sacred Gold/Storm Silver because the screen tends to go black and I can't fix it without having to restart the game and save my progress every like 2 seconds. This is not for a YouTube playthrough, its for a regular, normal, playthrough just for fun. So if anyone would be so kind as to send me eggs, I would appreciate it. I dont want to give myself eggs, because I will know what they are and I want to be surprised. I want to do an egglocke of a Pokemon game on an emulator, but I need eggs!
