Egg move not being passed on
Breeding a female aipom and a male mienfoo w/ fake out. For some reason, the baby aipoms do not get fake out. They get agility and some other moves I don't remember (not even moves either parent has).
Can anyone identify what I might be doing wrong? Serebii says it's an egg move so I have no idea.

Edit: I got it to work magically. Thanks everyone
@JazzC87 I understand what you mean. But aipom is being hatched with moves neither parent knows (agility, I think pursuit, and something else... I'll check when I can in around 2 hours).
I thought it was what you said - too many egg moves might have pushed fake out off the list. But then I made mienfoo forget everything but fake out and still have the same moveset on the offspring. I'll try again today, making sure both parents only know the one move I want from each.
I'll provide more details later today. I appreciate the help and we'll have to look at other possibilities
@BBD Yeah, I'll try deleting all unnecessary moves from BOTH parents today and see what happens. Thanks
@Devinched I essentially did that when I deleted all other moves. But I'll do what I said to BBD and update you guys if it doesn't work.
Thanks you three and I'll let you know if I'm having continual problems
[quote=JazzC87]Check to make sure that the Pokemon don't know too many inheritable moves. It could be possible maybe the baby is learning 4 moves on the list from each parent, & it skipped fakeout? Hard to explain that part. It could be possible the move Fake out got deleted. Make sure the daycare couple hasn't deleted the move. The daycare deletes the first move at the top of the pokemon's moveset. I recommend you double check and reteach the move if it was deleted.

Moves don't get deleted in the daycare.
They only get deleted and alternated when you take the Pokemon out of the daycare (once you pay to get your Pokemon back).
So when teaching a baby Pokemon a move it doesn't matter what level the parent (in this case mienfoo) will still have the move (fakeout) in the daycare.
@DrHye I don't know why you are having trouble. You are doing it correctly.
Maybe delete all the moves but fakeout with the move delete and see.
If that doesn't work then, maybe delete all the moves till both parent know only 1 move.
