An Egg Move is a move a Pokémon can obtain through breeding or another inheritance system rather than ordinary level-up. The rules have changed over generations: some games require compatible parents, while newer games may offer alternate methods for passing moves. Egg Moves can provide valuable coverage, priority, recovery, or utility that a species otherwise lacks. Before breeding, confirm that the move is legal for the species and available in the game you are playing. Also check whether the move can be inherited from either parent, transferred through a special item, or learned by another modern system. Do not rely on an old-generation breeding chart.
