>>52254167>Pokémon Sword & Shield initially added a mechanic where parents can pass Egg Moves between eachother. This meant that if your Pokémon has a spare move slot and is in with a Pokémon of the same species which knows one of its Egg Moves, then it too will gain that Egg Move.>Pokémon Scarlet & Violet takes this even further. Now, a Pokémon can in fact learn one of its Egg Moves from ANY other Pokémon it is in the Picnic with. To do this, the Pokémon wanting to get the Egg Move just needs to hold the Mirror Herb item. When it has it, it will learn the moves from any Pokémon, regardless of if it is the same gender, species or even in the same Egg Group.As I understand it, you just need to have it hold a Mirror Herb while at a picnic with a Recover mon.
