i breed a pikachu with another one w/light ball and the parents had this moves:
flash
thunderbolt
aglity
quick attack

then the baby had these moves:

T-bolt
thunder
volt attack
iron tail

what is going on?

When you breed Pikachus that have Light Ball attatched to one of them the baby gets Volt Tackle as an egg-move.

That's supposed to happen. Your male Pikachu had Thunder, T-bolt, and Iron Tail, and it got those moves. Volt Tackle's something that's supposed to happen when you breed Pikachus holding light balls.

ok thats right but it got iron tail too

i know that, but what is with the other moves?

EDIT: beaten on my own thread...

 

[Jaster]

Didnt you get volt tackle?

 

[lazyslothboy]

Did the male one know Iron tail and Thunder? If so, then I think that that would be normal

 

[Midnight Lucario]

yes i did.

Then your pichu is perfectly normal. Volt tackle is an exclusive move, and since the father knew thunder, t-bolt, and iron tail, it inherited them.
