How do I get a Chansey lvl 5 with Defense Curl in GSC?

Question

I want to beat the Little Cup in Pokémon Stadium 2 and want a Chansey with Defense Curl for it.
But this move is learned at level 41 (GSC) or similar high in RBY.
If I breed it with a Ditto, will it get Defense Curl as long as its parent has it?
From what I read only male Pokémon can pass a move down, or if both parents have the move.
So how can I get a lvl 5 Chansey with Defense Curl?

To breed a level-up move, both parents have to know the move. This means you can't breed with Ditto, but have to use a male Pokémon from the same egg group that knows it.
However, Defense Curl is TM40 in GSC, so you don't need to breed for it at all if you're willing to spend the TM (or use one of the various item creation/duplication glitches). And unlike level-up moves, TM moves can be inherited if only the father knows it, though that will still require a male from the same egg group with the move.

Oh my bad, I didn't thought of looking at Chansey's egggroup.
A male Jigglypuff learns defense curl at level 19 in RBY.
Mated with Chansey should net a Chansey with defense curl at level 5!
