I am somewhat new to the in depth breeding of pokemon. I understand most of the basics but have a problem/question. I read on a website somewhere about a person who had a Vaporeon that knew Flamethrower. I said "Hmm" quite interesting and set out to duplicate that feat. Since Vaporeon cant
learn Flamethrower by the TM it had to know it before it evolved. So that would mean EEVEE would have to be able to learn it. Now Flamethrower is neither an egg move for EEVEE nor can EEVEE learn the TM. So I tried breeding a Growlithe (male) who had it, with a Flareon (female) whom I taught it to. Unfortunately none of the EEVEE off spring knew it.........So my question is Did I do something wrong or is that Vaporeon with Flamethrower a hack? Appreciate any help.
