Tested this based on a hunch: Cacnea gets Fell Stinger as an egg move.

Proof

I had to chain breed it from Ariados to Paras to Cacnea. Dunno if there's a more direct method.

I also tested level-up movepools. I'll grind some more later to check for moves at higher levels but it seems to be the same as last gen.

1: Poison Sting

9: Growth
13: Leech Seed

29: Feint Attack
33: Spikes
37: Sucker Punch
41: Payback

Can apparently get Belch, can anyone confirm this?

Cacnea does get Belch.

Proof

 

[Oglemi]

Destiny Bond and Revenge should be listed as Move Relearners for Cacturne

 

[VioletPumpkin]

Add Cacnea to the list of Pokemon that got three new egg moves almost solely to contribute to breeding chains, because Cacnea gets Rototiller as an egg move from Lopunny!

Proof

 

[Layell]

Rapid Spin is not an egg move.
