H'okay. So.
It started with a discussion about breeding Yanma that know Thief. In it, there was a bit of a brain fart moment where we were trying to remember if TM moves could be passed on.
I checked a Meowth I had bred from my FR and LG Persians, and was like, "Yeah, it works, my baby Meowth knows Cut."
I stopped and thought about it...
I had deleted Cut on the father Persian to transfer him to DP. I checked again to make sure - he had forgotten it.
Well, this was something to experiment with! So, no saving, I decided to check it out with the Pokémon I was about to breed, Yanma.
The father Yanma first had Foresight, Quick Attack, Double Team and SonicBoom. Remember the moves and what replaces what and what gets deleted, it becomes important.
I taught the father Yanma Thief over the move Foresight. Then, I brought him to the Move Deleter, and had him forget Thief. I decided to go a step further and make him forget Double Team as well.
My hypothesis was that if I bred a child Yanma from this and the mother Yanma (moveset Foresight, Quick Attack, Double Team and SonicBoom), it would know Thief, Quick Attack, Double Team and SonicBoom.
Well, some hot Yanma on Yanma action and a lot of 'cycling later, and the daughter Yanma hatched.
Her moveset was Tackle, Foresight, Quick Attack and SonicBoom.
...
Uh... someone... someone wanna tell me what just happened...?
