A well-known example is a male Dragonite with the attack Outrage breeding with a female Charizard to make a baby Charmander that knows Outrage. In current generations the gender of the parents doesn’t matter for Egg Moves as either gender can pass them down. This makes breeding extremely useful in the competitive scene and passing down these powerful “Egg Moves” has been made even easier. Pokémon can learn certain moves via breeding that they can’t normally learn by other means. Breeding is a great way to change the aesthetic of your Pokémon’s spherical home. When breeding with Ditto, males and genderless Pokémon will always pass down their ball, so the ball that Ditto was caught in has no effect.

Breeding Pokémon with the same species will grant a 50% chance of either the female or the male passing down their ball. In the sixth generation only female Pokémon could pass down their Poké Ball, but now in Sun and Moon male Pokémon can pass down their balls as well. The loop will end if you ride in one direction, so make sure you keep circling around if you want seamless egg hatching. Once you’re in the enclosure simply ride your Tauros around in circles until you get an egg or your eggs hatch. Outside the Nursery you’ll notice there is a small gated enclosure, which is just big enough for your Tauros to fit.

Unfortunately, there is no AFK breeding loop like there was in the Pokémon Battle Resort in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but there is good loop you can use that requires very little attention.
