Eh, ragazzo!
I have an inquiry, but this is about egg steps.

An Eevee has 8,960 steps. However, from the time I receive the egg until the time I hatched it, it usually took 9,180 steps (Over 9,000! hur hur). This time, it seems to be taking even less steps than 8,960. Could someone explain what is going on?

An egg is checked to be hatched by the game only every 252 steps. When your first egg reached the 8,960 step mark, it was in between egg checks. Only on the 9,180 step did the game finally have an egg check, saying, 'whoops, this egg is at least at 8,960 steps, ready to hatch'. I don't think it is possible for the egg to hatch UNDER the limit...
 

Volteon

Back I guess??
Possible it is. It seems to happen in some days. I imagine, as the egg stopped hatching with lower steps right after midnight.
The reason, I don't know.

Let me add one more detail.

It has been only the eggs I hatched most recently that went under the normal amount of steps. The eggs take 8,280 steps as opposed to 8,960.

Does that lean any closer to the truth?

You'd have a 100% chance of getting it if you bred a female Drifloon/Drifblim with a male Gastly/Haunter/Gengar/Koffing/Weezing/Wobbuffet that knows Destiny Bond.

sorry if this is spam but, how can you get a charmander to learn acient power by breeding? (breed it with what pokemon)

Breed a female Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard with male Cranidos/Rampardos/Shieldon/Bastiodon that has Ancienpower.

There is actually a much easier way to get Snover with those moves. Just teach it the respective TMs.

Snover can't breed with either Lapras or Gloom though.

If you want a Snover knowing those moves without using three TMs, then you could breed a male Ludicolo knowing Water Pulse, Ice Beam and Giga Drain with a female Snover. When you hatch a male Snover knwoing those moves, you can teach it Shadow Ball with a TM.

Shadow Tepi 8, I don't really understand the last paragraph of your response to this... you're still using the TMs from what I can see. Also, Snover CAN breed with Lapras.

Using TMs is the easiest way, and I can't see a way to breed all four moves onto Snover without using a TM. The best I can find is a chain to breed Water Pulse, Ice Beam and Shadow Ball onto Snover (you'll have to use the Giga Drain TM), but it's not pretty:

Gastly/Midreavus/Shuppet/Drifoon (Shadow Ball) -> Castform -> Glalie (Ice Beam) -> Skitty/Mawile -> Whismur/Bidoof -> Slowpoke (Water Pulse) -> Snover

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot about Smeargle. You can cut the length of this chain considerably if you use Smeargle:

Smeargle (Sketch Water Pulse, Ice Beam and Shadow Ball) -> Whismur -> Snover

Quick question... can I get a Mudkip with Hydro Pump by breeding, or do I just level up?

Hydro Pump is a level-up move for Mudkip, so if you want Mudkip to hatch with Hydro Pump, you need to breed a female Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert that knows Hydro Pump with a male Pokémon in the Water 1 or Monster Egg Groups that also knows Hydro Pump.

Ok, thanks for the answer.
 
Is there any way to get a Mime Jr. with Wake-Up Slap and Hypnosis?

Tnks a lot TotalPotato! im ur BIGGEST fan from now on! XD i was wondering if its possible that cacnea could learn dark pulse + poison jab + giga drain from another pokemon!.. (yeah i know, i love the giga drain move, by the way, do u know how do i clone TM´s???)

Saludoos!
 
I think I have gotten this all planned out...I just want to know from you breeding experts out there if it is 100% correct:

I plan to get a male Zangoose to learn Swords Dance to breed with my female Rhyhorn so the male baby Rhyhorn will know Swords Dance...THEN I will let him learn Earthquake, and breed him with my female Sandshrew...to learn Swords Dance AND Earthquake...[?]

I am most concerned with the final outcome...a Sandshrew with Swords Dance and Earthquake....is it bound to happen? Earthquake isn't Sandshrew's egg attack, nor a TM...
