Pokemon Egg Move Calculator computes the shortest possible breeding chains necessary to breed a specific egg move onto a specific Pokemon. It returns all such chains, beginning with Pokemon that learn the move by level-up or TM. Read more on egg moves ▼

Technical Details

To solve the problem of finding the shortest path for a pokemon to gain a move, we developed a multi-graph consisting of 917 nodes and 46,145 edges. Using your chosen Pokemon as the ending node and your move as a parameter to graph construction, a modified, level-based Breadth-First Search algorithm finds every possible path from various starting Pokemon to create your chosen Pokemon with the specified egg move.
