Breeding & Egg Move Chains Help/Discussion Thread - Egg Moves list & FAQ in 1st post!

[-Espacio-]

I need some help guys(and girls) I wan't to breed a perfect or near-perfect Chimchar, but I just need to know what moves it should have(I wan't all Egg Moves or Level-Up Moves, no TMs obviously). I was thinking Blaze Kick and Double Kick would be cool moves for Infernape to have. Also, I only plan on training it to level 50(this will be for WiFi and Battle Tower) Thanks a bunch to anyone who can help me

Without TMs, I'd advise a physical moveset: Flare Blitz, Close Combat, Swords Dance and Thunderpunch/Stone Edge. You can breed Swords Dance, Thunderpunch and Stone Edge onto Chimchar using Smeargle. Just be sure not to evolve Monferno until Level 49, when it learns Flare Blitz.

A special or mixed moveset is more difficult, mainly because good special Infernapes run Grass Knot, which I don't think you can get onto Smeargle if you're only using ingame trainers. You probably don't want the hassle of Hidden Power breeding, and Focus Blast is an unreliable move to use. If you don't mind trading for a Pokémon with Grass Knot over the GTS, you could go for a mixed set; but if that doesn't appeal to you, stick with a physical set.

Ok, thanks a lot for the help TotalPotato I will try this moveset out! So I need to Sketch Swords Dance, Thunderpunch and Stone Edge, then breed with a female Chimchar? Train it to level 49, then evolve to Infernape at level 50? Just making sure

I was wondering if it would be posssible to get ride of slakings ability using skill swap. I know that is in the same egg group as some pokemon that can learn skill swap so I'd like to know if you can breed skill swap onto slaking. Also if this doesn't work could you use skill swap on your own slaking in a double battle from a different pokemon?

Skill Swap can't be bred onto Slaking. However, it can be Skill Swapped off in a double battle, yes.

To get a Muk with both you'd have to get a female Grimer/Muk and a male Banette with Curse on Pokemon Emerald. Then take the resulting Muk with Curse to the Battle Frontier move tutors and have it taught Ice Punch there. Then, transfer it over to Diamond/Pearl via Pal Park. That's the only way to do it, since Ice Punch is only available to Muk by the move tutors in Emerald.

I wouldn't use both Thunderpunch and Stone Edge - pick your favourite depending on which types you'd like to cover and whether you want to risk Stone Edge's higher power for its lower accuracy. But yes, that's exactly what you need to do with your Smeargle.

Since Pokémon learn level-up moves before evolving, you could teach your Monferno Flare Blitz and evolve it on the same level.

Good luck!

Is it possible to breed trick room onto , , , , , , , , , , or ? I didn't feel like spelling

No. But it's difficult to use Trick Room in single battles; save it for double battles and teach it to a partner.

Btw if you're trying to incorporate both Sand Stream and Trick Room into a team, I've seen someone use a -Spd nature Jirachi for Trick Room. It's pretty awesome on Bronzong as well, what with his resistances (most likely he'll survive to TR again if you need to), EQ immunity (useful in double battles), and STAB Gyro Ball.

Wow, thats exactly what I needed to hear, thanks.

Need some breeding help again: I wan't to breed the almost perfect Turtwig, and I need help with the moves again(similar to the Chimchar situation). I already have Leaf Storm as one of the moves, but I don't know if I should use that or Frenzy Plant. Thanks to anyone who can help me

Definitely Leaf Storm. Frenzy Plant renders you immobile for a full turn, one turn where your opponent could take a free switch, set up with something like Swords Dance (especially on Weavile), or just screw you over in general. Leaf Storm only has 10 less base power than Frenzy Plant, and the Special Attack drop is rendered useless when you switch (which you probably will after you kill something and they send in a counter).

So yeah. Leaf Storm.

Is this possible? I bred my empoleon with ditto and the moves piplup got were Surf, Grass Knot, Hydro Pump and Pount. but Grass Knot and Surf are not in its egg moveset.

TM and HM moves can be passed on as long as its baby form in this case Piplup is able to learn it as well.

To be honest, I wouldn't use either on Torterra, mainly because its Attack stat is much better than its Sp. Attack stat. I'd say that Wood Hammer is better, even with the recoil (and if the recoil bothers you a lot, you can always use Seed Bomb). Earthquake's a great move on Torterra, too.

From there, you've got several options. You could take advantage of Torterra's good defensive stats with Leech Seed, Synthesis or Toxic (or a combination of those moves), and you could even use Protect to stall for more HP absorption from Leech Seed. Or you could surmount that low Speed with a Rock Polish, add Stone Edge for type coverage, and sweep your opponent away. Or you could mix some of these ideas to make a set more suitable for you.

These are a few ideas to think about. Once you've got your moveset, I'll give you help in terms of how to breed the moves onto your Turtwig if you need it.

Have a male Smeargle Sketch both moves, then breed the Smeargle with a female Teddiursa/Ursaring.

Can charizard learn fire punch.

Only by using a Move Tutor found in Pokémon Emerald.
