Moveset Breeding---------------------------------------------------

Not only IVs and natures can be passed down to the baby, but moves as well. Because of this, it is very important that before actually starting to breed, the baby's moveset should be decided, since there are some moves that can't be learned by certain Pokémon unless you breed with a particular parent. There are five types of moves that can be passed from the parents to the baby:

Level Up Moves-----
If both parents know the same Level Up move and the baby can learn the same move by level up, the baby will be born with that move. For example, if a male Slowbro is breeding with a female Slowking and both know the Level up move Zen Headbutt, the baby Slowpoke will be born knowing Zen Headbutt.
TM or HM moves-----
If the male parent knows a TM or HM move and the baby can learn that same TM or HM, the baby will be born with that move. Also, if a genderless parent knows a TM or HM move when it breeds with Ditto, the baby will be born with that TM or HM move as well. For example, if you want a Swampert that knows the move Ice Beam, and you don't have Ice Beam as a TM, you can breed your Swampert with a male Dewgong that knows Ice Beam.
Egg moves-----
If the male parent knows a move which the baby can only learn as an Egg move, the baby will be born with that move. You can find a list of Egg moves that each Pokémon learns on most Pokédex (for example SmogonDex). For example, if you want a Sceptile that knows the move Leech Seed, you can breed a Sceptile with a male Venusaur knowing Leech Seed.
Move Tutor moves------
These moves can only be passed to the baby if they are also among the Egg moves of the baby. See point 3) above. For example, if you want a Medicham with the move Ice Punch, which is an egg move, you can breed it with a male Alakazam that learned Ice Punch from the Emerald move tutor.
Volt Tackle move------
When breeding for Pichu in E, if any of the parents is a Pikachu or a Raichu holding the item Light Ball, then the baby Pichu will be born knowing the move Volt Tackle.

As you can see, Level up moves and TM or HM moves are relatively easy to breed. A slight complication can occur if you're breeding for an egg move. Sometimes, you'd need to breed for various Pokémon consecutively in order to get the egg move you need. This is called a breeding move chain.

For example, suppose you need to breed a Larvitar with the egg move Dragon Dance. Checking all the Pokémon that can breed with Larvitar and that can learn Dragon Dance, we find two possibilies: Charmander and (in DP) Totodile. The problem, though, is that Dragon Dance is an egg move also for both Charmander and Totodile. So you first need to breed for a male baby Charmander or Totodile to get Dragon Dance, which would then be bred with your Larvitar to give him Dragon Dance. Charmander can breed with either Gyarados, Altaria or Dragonite, all of which learn Dragon Dance by level up, and Totodile can breed with Kingdra, which also learns Dragon Dance by level up. So there are two breeding chains:

Male Gyarados/Swablu/Dratini with Dragon Dance -> Male Charmander with Dragon Dance -> Larvitar with Dragon Dance

or (for DP):

Male Horsea with Dragon Dance -> Male Totodile with Dragon Dance -> Larvitar with Dragon Dance

Let’s give a second example. Suppose you need to breed a Snorunt with the egg move Spikes. Checking all the Pokémon that can breed with Snorunt and that can learn Spikes, we find that only Roselia can learn Spikes and can breed with Snorunt. The problem, though, is that Spikes is an egg move also for Roselia. So you first need to breed for a male baby Roselia to get Spikes, which would then be bred with your Snorunt to give him Spikes. Roselia can breed with Cacturne, and Cacturne can learn Spikes by Level up. So the breeding move chain is:

Male Cacturne with Spikes -> Male Roselia with Spikes -> Snorunt with Spikes
Level 5 Stats

As we have already said in Part I of this guide, it's easier to get rid of Pokémon that don't have the IVs you want while you're breeding. For this to not be too time consuming, you can find out the Level 5 maximum stats of the baby you're going to breed before you start breeding (refer to Part I section about finding out your IVs) and write them down on a piece of paper. Now, everytime you check the IVs of a baby, you will be able to tell whether the baby is good enough for further IV checking or not by just looking at its stats and comparing them with the numbers on your paper. If the numbers do not correspond, you release that Pokémon. After a while, you'll be able to do this without using the paper.

To save you even more time, here is a list of all the Pokémon babies, and their maximum stats at Level 5. All the following stats assume a neutral nature.

If the nature is boosting the stat, and the stat listed here is a two-digit number, add the first digit of that number to the number shown. If the nature is hindering the stat, first subtract one from the stat listed here, then, if the resulting number is a two-digit number, subtract further the first digit of that number from itself. To clarify:

If a stat is less than 10, it stays the same with a beneficial nature and is decreased by 1 with a hindering nature.

If a stat is 10, it is increased by 1 with a beneficial nature and is decreased by 1 with a hindering nature.

If a stat is between 11 and 19, it is increased by 1 with a beneficial nature, and is decreased by 2 with a hindering nature.

For example, if Bulbasaur is Adamant, then the maximum Attack stat is 12 (11 + the first digit of 11), and the maximum Special Attack stat is 11 (13 - 1 = 12, and since 12 is a two-digit number, 12 - 1, the first digit of 12, = 11).

I will put up and accurate list of Lv 5 stats once I can type it all out. For now You'll have to do the work yourselves.
