Not an expected Relearnable move - Pre-evolution move

[ZMaster]

Possible missed case of legality? Play Rough is a pre-evolution move not passed down on the Slaking line, but breeding 2 Skaloth with Play Rough makes it a re-learnable.

Spoiler

 

Using the current 9/22 release.

? 

What database did you refer to?

breeding 2 Pokemon with the same move wouldn't pass it down as an egg move, outside of Gen 2.

 

also, play rough isn't an egg move (not on bulbapedia).

 

slaking isn't part of a split evolution line, so I don't think special evolutionary requirement needed to be taken into account.

Given the fact that PKHeX uses the game's personal info, I don't think this is a miss.

(edit: if bred in XY, it'll be invalid right)

Works fine for me.

You didn't upload a pkm file.

The issue seems to be what theSLAYER said.

Since, well... Slakoth line cannot learn Play Rough at all in XY, so it must originate in ORAS in order to have that move.

[theSLAYER]

tho to be fair, if Bred in ORAS, and hatched in XY, it should still have play rough in the Egg moves (and is origin game is updated to XY)? *ponders*

[edit: in this case, it's met location will be changed to Link Trade]

Did some testing. The origin game is indeed updated when hatched.

[theSLAYER]

Yeah, so in this instance, the Slaking will only be legal in X/Y, if the Met location is a link trade (egg)

[Ruby Genseki]

Still not legal.

It remains legal only while being an egg since the ORAS game ID is still in there:

You can pass down learn-able moves as egg moves as long as both parents know the move, and the base form also knows the move.

EDIT: After seeing the above post, so it still shows up as illegal when hatched in XY?

Yeah. If the egg was bred in ORAS and then traded to XY to be hatched in there, it should be legal even if PKHeX says otherwise. The program is not perfect, so it's most likely a checking error, either that or I might be missing something.

Thanks, fixed in latest commit!
