Breeding changes.

http://www.serebii.net/hear...ng.shtml

They have added new egg moves as well as a way to give the baby pokemon one of the parent's IVs.

So what do you think of the new egg moves?

I think a few of them will be really useful.

Not all of them are good, but some I can see will be useful.

wow, big list
some of them look really good. i'll look forward to messing with them

They could of added a few better egg moves.

Is it me or does it seem like that muddy water is the most common new egg move in that list?

No i think its MOrning Sun.

Ok few points

Could CYndaquil leanr extrasensory before?
Also why is it that the only starter to get a crappy egg move is chimchar with assist.How is Assist gonna help you when you are hardly gonna use it in competitive and there is hardly any tag battles.

yeah, i see what you mean. muddy water seems to be a widely used egg move

pichu
attack name: flail... reminds me of phail :D

It would of been nice if there was more of a verity of moves.

Yeah, there aren't many, and too many are being given Muddy Water, which is a poor man's Surf.

I can say this much, it sure does make Breeder easier. I love doing it now on my imported HG game.

i may have never used it but muddy water cant be that bad, can it?

The braces as well giving your baby the parents IV in that stat. Awesome
Some are very useful, especially the ones who can learn Dragon Dance now =D

dragon dance... as in the stat raising move...
yeah, they can keep that one out of the egg moves. my oppinion; if the move dont do damage, it isn't worth keeping
._.
i do tend to lose often so there may be fault in my oppinion

Dragon Dance is key to victory, what are you saying?

most likely, something very retarded. just go with it; im a fully tested and all natural idiot who has no idea what he's talking about

no,your just saying you have the tendacy to lose to trainders with pokemon that have Dragon Dance, though it is a very useful move to raise your pokemon's stats

... No, I really doubt that's what he meant.

well, it looked like it from my point of view

it'll be nice if the Eevee could have Iron Tail as an egg move, so that way i dont have to waste my Iron Tail TM on it

It has the same base power as Surf, but only 10 PP and 85 Accuracy. Game Freak thought a 10 chance to lower accuracy would be a good way to make up for it, but nobody really cared and continued to use Surf.

If you have a Wide Lens on, I'd say Muddy Water is worth it. Your accuracy is raised from 85 to 93.5 percent. Since it lowers your opponent's accuracy as an addition bonus, I'd say that's worth it. =/

Equipping a Wide Lens is a waste of time in competitive battling, combined with the fact that a 93.5 percent change to hit still isn't perfect, and you'd be surprised by how much moves with accuracies like 95 percent miss. A 10 percent chance to lower accuracy is pure crap, and accuracy/evasion intervention is banned in most area of competitive battling. Surf still has 5 more PP, which is a boon in-game and in competitive battling. That, and you can use the HM on something that isn't an HM slave, but you don't get that luxury with Muddy Water.

Overall, there's little reason to use Muddy Water, unless you want your Swampert to have its 'signature move', which is something I couldn't care less about.
