Thread: VG Weekly Poll #48 Do you breed for egg moves?

Hello Everynyan! Welcome to the forty-eighth instalment in the Video Games Forum's new weekly series of polls!

Centered around the Pokemon series of video games, these polls will be based on the various different aspects of the popular video game franchise. Every Monday, a Video Games staff member will post a new poll that'll remained stickied up on top of the forum. Suggestions for polls and questions can be sent to Joshawott or Zeb and they could possibly used for new polls (credit will be given, of course).

With that out of the way, here is the poll:

Do you breed for egg moves?
Egg moves are another method that pokemon have to learn different moves, and some of the moves learnt this way can often be very useful. So do you ever breed for them?

Eh... Sometimes, depends which Pokemon I have on hand and such.

Yes I breed for egg moves if I think they will be useful. The Pokémon in my parties which have been bred for an egg move are Dewgong, Pikachu, Dragonite, Togekiss, Volcarona, Hydreigon, Sceptile and Emolga.

If I've planned a Pokemon on my team to have an egg move, then yes, I do. For example, last time I played Platinum I bred Mean Look onto a Ralts to get a Mean Look Gallade for those runners, and on Black 2, I'll be getting a Yawn Umbreon to play the role of sleeper.

Depends on the pokemon. But usually no,to think of it now it really would be useful!★

Not really, Mainly because I don't play competitively, and just catch and go. I may have done it once or twice though.

Depends. Somtimes I do if its egg moves are good otherwise no.

I've only bred for moves once to see what it was like; it was getting Aromatherapy for a Blissey. After that, I decided breeding for moves was too much of a hassle.

Not anymore since I got my hands on Action Replay... I don't breed egg moves, sometimes it makes me mess up IV breeding. :| Weird, I know.

Not really, as I don't seem to have the patience for it. That and I'm afraid I'll screw it up somehow.

Only if the egg moves are good like Leaf Storm on Venusaur.

It depends if a useful move it learns is only available via Egg Moves.

It really depends how good the egg move is. If it's really useful like, let's say Recover for Sableye, then I'll breed for it.

Nope, I don't. I'm much to lazy to bother doing it. I've only ever done it once, and that was to give Aipom Fake Out. I only did this one, because Ambipom is my favorite Pokemon.

Nope.. too much work :|
