Maltor Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 So, i have a question about egg moves: i thought that in order for a child to learn a given egg move, one of his parents has to know that move. Thing is, i'm breeding murkrows right now, neither parent knows Brave Bird, and yet their offspring knows it. Am i missing something?

Greninja Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Is the male another mons somehow? If yes, probably the male learned brave bird while levelling up in the day care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongaarseBeer Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I believe Brave Bird is an egg move, so regardless of whether or not the parents know Brave Bird, the baby can still have Brave Bird as an attack at lvl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, my bad, I thought there was still a chance of random egg moves being taught, but I guess that only works in the normal series then? (if it works at all, I'm anything but an expert when it comes to breeding...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltor Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 @Lightseeker i started with a male crobat (for IV's) and a female murkrow (neither knew brave bird), then switched the crobat for a male murkrow. Even after both murkrows lvled up in day-care high enough to forget brave bird (lvl 25-ish), babies were still being born knowing brave bird.

And if im not mstaken both parents know brave bird before you left them in day care? Maybe the eggs you got was the ones where the mrukrows till know brave bird.

Plok Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If one of the parents knew brave bird it would pass the move onto eggs as long as they were still in daycare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, just took out both of them... neither knows brave bird, and i'm still getting offspring with brave bird =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, i didn't know that, good to know. Still, neither of the original parents knew brave bird in the first place (when i started with crobat and the crappy female murkrow), and i bred the crobat myself from wild zubats (so no brave bird whatsoever)... can egg moves appear on their own by chance?

There is some chance though wild pokemon learn egg moves. Maybe one of them had brave bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
