Little Cup Moveset Rules?

I don’t understand Little Cup rules. I thought that the participating Poke’mon was not allowed to know moves that it could learn by leveling up, but in an an answer to a previous question for a Little Cup Moveset for Ponyta(I’ll add the link if I find it), the answer suggested either Flame Wheel or Fire Blast! Doesn’t Ponyta learn those moves by leveling up? Did I not understand the Little Cup rules?

EDIT: Sorry, it was actually Flare Blitz, bu I’m pretty sure Ponyta learns that by leveling up, too. Here is the link.http://Pokemondb.net/pokebase/94619/what-is-a-good-lc-moveset-for-ponyta

There are a couple of ways:

Breeding.

• If both parents know a Level Up move of the baby Pokemon, it will know it as well. If 2 Torterras both have Leaf Storm and breed, the baby Turtwig will know Leaf Storm.

Egg Moves.

• If the male breeding has an Egg move that the baby can learn, then the baby will know it. If a male Hitmonchan with Ice Punch breeds with a female Lopunny, Buneary will know Ice Punch.

TMs&HMs.

• If you have TM26 Earthquake, and you have a Level 5 Geodude, it can learn Earthquake. Simple stuff.

Move Tutors.

• If a Pokemon is eligible to learn an tutor move, it will learn it, regardless of level, when the move tutor is paid. Buneary can learn ThunderPunch at Level 1 from a Move Tutor.

Your situation is at number one.You can pass down Level up moves. If a Male and Female Rapidash know Flare Blitz, then the baby Ponyta will learn it because it gets passed down.
