It depends on the Pokémon, but most of the time, yes. I did a lot of Raichu & Light Ball mating in Emerald for my boyfriend and his friend.. and myself.

But yes, I do mate for egg moves.. That's most of the point of mating them though.. At least for me anyway.

Yes, I do breed for both Egg Moves and Natures. I'm not so sure why people make such a big, big deal about perfection. They just don't realize it's necessary.

I breed for egg moves and TM moves. I'll breed for natures sometimes, but not for IVs. (when I attempted a combo breed for IVs/shininess with Delibird, I quickly became overwrought @.@)

I mean, who doesn't breed Drill Peck onto Skarmory?

I breed for egg moves. For example, I wanted a level 50 Golem that knew Double Edge so I got one up to level 62 to get it as an egg move.

I personally breed on natures x IVs. A good IV + bad nature = average. A good nature + bad IV = average. I breed based on expected stat at level 20 based on everything I know and some predefined EV training method.

Yes, I breed a Growlith and a Mantric to know crunch. (Well the Mantric can't learn many different move types, but mine now knows Crunch, Thunderbolt, Secret Power and Attract)

A murkrow to know Drill Peck and Mirror Move (the joys of catching a level 50 Fearow on Fire Red! Well actully I got him to breed with all my flying pokemon since Flying can't learn many good attack moves so I try to get Mirror Move and Drill Peck in when I can)

Though if you want to know who can get a particular move through an Egg Move, this is a good site to use http://www.psypokes.com/dex/techdex.php?id=324 (since you'd have to check through every since pokemon on this site which is impractical.

Yes, I breed. I need to breed for the desiered moveset that I want on a Pokemon, like Blaziken with Rock Slide.

Yes, I breed.
I breed even for future attacks (like shroomish´s spore) it´s very useful, but in your case, it´s better you breed leech seed for one lotad (not seedot, forget this if you don´t have ), ludicolo has better defences for this attack, it also has rain dish (for more recovering).

Blaziken with rock slide is the win. I didn't do egg moves when I trained my Blaziken, although it's still one of my better early EV trained level 100s. I try not to think about my Linoone too much... HP + Speed? Linoone? WTF?

Skarmory doesn't learn Drill Peck naturally?... I never bred mine because I always used the one from Colosseum.. o_O; Or Swellow in Sapphire.. might change it for the one in XD.

...Corsola can learn Earthquake?! <_< Now I like that little thing a teeny bit more.. Gotta look up Corsola's breeding group since I don't like Quagsire.

The only thing I don't like about breeding is the hatching process.. Takes too long. ;x Unless someone has a trick up their sleeve that they're willing to share..

Yes Corsola CAN learn EQ by TM. Meh, just didn't have no more EQ TM and I decided to breed for it.
