Can Pokemon Learn Egg Moves from TMs?
The answer to the question Can Pokemon learn egg moves from TMs? is no, Pokémon cannot directly learn egg moves from TMs (Technical Machines), as egg moves are a specific type of move that can only be passed down from a parent Pokémon to its offspring through breeding. Egg moves are unique in that they can be learned by a Pokémon only if its father knows the move at the time of breeding, making them distinct from TM moves which can be taught to compatible Pokémon using a TM.
