Can newly hatched Pokemon learn old HMs from their parents?

Dec. 15, 2013

Lets say if I bred a Male Farfetch’d that knows Defog with a Female Farfetch’d, will the newly hatched Farfetch’d know the move Defog?

Omg, going against the status quo c:

If the father can learn the HMnaturally, and the offspring can learn it through HM, then it actually is possible to give the offspring an HM move via breeding.

For example, if a Female Lumineon bred with a Male Seaking (that learnt Waterfall at Level 40), then the resulting Finneon would have Waterfall.

Unfortunately, in your example Farfetch’d can’t learn Defog naturally, and therefore the offspring will not have Defog.

It’s also worth noting that this works with TMs as well, which is much easier as many Pokemon can learn TM-applicable moves naturally.

Hope I helped. :)Multiple parts of Bulbapedia and Serebii that I can’t be bothered linking to :P
