A '''Move Reminder''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|技思い出し|わざおもいだし}}}}''' ''Move Reminder'') or '''Pokémon Move Maniac''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケモンわざマニア}}''' ''Pokémon Move Maniac''), also known as a '''Move Tutor''' in English and sometimes called a '''move relearner''' by fans, is a character who can teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} any [[move]] that its species is able to learn by [[level]]ing up, and from Generation VI onward, special moves that it has forgotten (such as [[Egg Move]]s). The Move Reminder usually requires a [[Heart Scale]] in exchange for their services.

In [[Galar]], {{gal|Jack}} provides Move Reminder services free of charge (among other services).

From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, the Move Reminder is no longer an NPC in the game, and instead a Pokémon's moves can be changed at any time outside of battle by going into the Moves section in a Pokémon's summary.

==Terminology==
NPCs who provide this functionality often have their own personal title that they introduce themselves as when the player first interacts with them. This name is often specific to that particular NPC, and is not used by NPCs in other games that provide the same service.

Separate from their personal title, aspects of the game interface may refer to the service itself by a particular name, which is distinct from the personal title of the NPC and is usually consistent between games.

===General name===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the sign outside his house refers to him as '''Move Tutor''' (Japanese: '''わざおしえマニア''' ''Move-Teaching Maniac''). In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the sign outside refers to him as '''Move Maniac''' (Japanese: '''わざマニア''' ''Move Maniac'').

From [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], this character is referred to as the '''Move Reminder''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|技思い出し|わざおもいだし}}}}''' ''Move Reminder'') on the [[Town Map]].

===Personal title===
* In the [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games, as well as {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, he introduces himself as the '''Pokémon Move Maniac''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンわざマニア''' ''Pokémon Move Maniac''), except in the English versions of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, in which he instead refers to himself as the '''Move Tutor'''.
** In the Western versions of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and the English versions of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, although he does introduce himself this way, he states that he prefers to be called the '''Move Tutor''' instead.
* In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, he introduces himself as the '''Move Teacher''' (Japanese: '''わざ名人''' ''Move Master'').
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]], she introduces herself as the '''reminder girl''' (Japanese: '''メモリアルガール''' ''Memorial Girl'').
* In {{g|X and Y}}, she introduces herself as '''Madam Reminder''' (Japanese: '''マダム　メモリアル''' ''Madam Memorial'').
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], she introduces herself as '''Madam Memorial''' (Japanese: '''マダム　メモリアル''' ''Madam Memorial'').
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, this service is provided by {{gal|Jack}}, among other services.

===Level-up moves===
From Generation II to VI and in Generation VIII, the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]]. In [[Generation VII]], the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move it can learn via level-up, including moves it would learn at higher levels.

The Move Reminder can only teach a Pokémon moves that its [[Pokémon (species)|species]] can learn in the game it is currently in. The Move Reminder cannot teach moves exclusive to a pre-[[evolution]] or alternate form, even if that Pokémon had previously known the move. (For example, in many games<!--all games other than SwSh-->, {{p|Shroomish}} can learn {{m|Spore}} via level-up but {{p|Breloom}} cannot, so Breloom cannot normally be taught Spore via the Move Reminder in those games.) In particular, prior to Generation VIII, many Pokémon that evolve by [[Evolution stone]] have a very restricted set of level-up moves in their evolved forms compared to their unevolved forms.

Certain Pokémon may also be taught moves via the Move Reminder that they would not normally learn until a later level or at all by leveling up. For example, in [[Generation VI]], while {{p|Lopunny}} normally learns {{m|Healing Wish}} at level 63 by leveling up, due to also being able to learn Healing Wish at level 1 (at a level at which it is not normally obtainable in those games), it can also be taught Healing Wish by a Move Reminder at any level. Other moves can only be taught this way for reasons such as the Pokémon not being able to be obtained at a low enough level (e.g. {{p|Zapdos}} and {{m|Ancient Power}} starting in [[Generation IV]]) or the species having more than four starting moves (e.g. {{p|Kecleon}}).

===Reminder-exclusive moves===
Since the introduction of the Move Reminder, many Pokémon have had moves that they can learn at lower levels than they can normally be obtained at, particularly moves they can learn at Level 1, which are effectively exclusive to the Move Reminder. However, this is merely a restriction based on availability, not a technical restriction — these moves are still technically implemented as Level 1 moves, so a Pokémon obtained at or evolved into at Level 1 can still learn those moves.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, certain Pokémon have moves that are specifically exclusive to the Move Reminder, rather than being implemented as Level 1 moves. For example, in these games, {{p|Ceruledge}} has 4 moves exclusive to the Move Reminder; even if a {{p|Charcadet}} is evolved into Ceruledge at Level 1, Ceruledge is not given the opportunity to learn these moves via level-up, even though it can immediately be taught them at the Move Reminder.

===Special moves===
Starting in [[Generation VI]], Pokémon obtained with special moves often can relearn those moves if they are forgotten. Whether a special move can be relearned via the Move Reminder depends on how it was obtained.

Any Pokémon hatched in Generation VI onward can relearn any move it knew when it hatched. This includes not only [[Egg Move]]s, but any other moves it knew when hatched as well (e.g. level-up moves known upon hatching, {{m|Volt Tackle}} bred onto {{p|Pichu}}, etc.). Pokémon hatched in earlier generations do not flag these moves as relearnable, so cannot relearn moves of this type even if they are transferred to a Generation VI or later game.

Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] from Generation VI to VIII may mark specific moves as being relearnable. Early Generation VI distributions only flag {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive moves (such as the {{DL|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Pokémon Center Tokyo Bay Inkay}}'s {{m|Happy Hour}}) and [[Egg Move]]s that the Pokémon knows when distributed; later Generation VI distributions and all distributions from Generation VII and VIII flag all moves the Pokémon knows when distributed (except moves introduced part-way through that generation). Pokémon distributed in earlier generations do not flag these moves as relearnable, so cannot relearn moves of this type even if they are transferred to a Generation VI or later game. In Generation IX, Event Pokémon can no longer relearn {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive moves.

Special moves known due to being a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}; {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} Pokémon in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}; or [[Grand Underground]] Pokémon in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} can be taught by the Move Reminder if forgotten. However, special moves known by [[Brilliant Pokémon]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and special moves known by [[Tera Raid]] and wandering Tera Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} cannot be relearned.

If a Pokémon is given a [[battle-ready symbol]], the Pokémon's record of relearnable moves are erased, preventing those moves from being relearned (unless they are also level-up moves in that game).

From [[Generation VIII]] onward, Pokémon's movesets are not usually carried over when transferring them via [[Pokémon HOME]] between different sets of games. Whenever a Pokémon's moveset is not carried over, its relearnable move pool is not either. For example, if a Pokémon that has a relearnable special move in Pokémon Sword and Shield is transferred to Pokémon Violet, that move will not automatically be relearnable in Pokémon Violet. However, it is possible to use Pokémon HOME's [[Pokémon HOME#Move Reminder|Move Reminder]] to learn moves that are only available in another game's relearnable move pool, provided the moves can be learned by the Pokémon in the game it is being transferred to.

===TR/TM moves===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm whether giving a Pokémon a battle-ready symbol deletes relearnable TR moves}}
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Pokémon can be taught any move they had previously learned via [[TR]], but forgotten. If the Pokémon previously knew the move, but did not learn it via TR in Pokémon Sword or Shield, the move cannot be relearned this way.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pokémon can be taught any move they had previously learned via [[TM]], but forgotten. If the Pokémon previously knew the move, but did not learn it via TM in Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, the move cannot be relearned this way.

<!--If a Pokémon is given a [[battle-ready symbol]], the Pokémon's record of relearnable moves are erased, preventing those moves from being relearned (unless they are also level-up moves in that game).-->

==Restrictions==
Like all methods of teaching moves (other than [[Pokémon Day Care]]), the Move Reminder cannot overwrite [[HM]] moves.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Pokémon XD]], if a Pokémon has four moves, the Move Reminder will not be able to teach it a move until the [[Move Deleter]] deletes one of the Pokémon's current moves.

==Locations==
From Generations III to VII, as well as in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the Move Reminder is a specific NPC. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pokémon can be taught moves via the Move Reminder directly from the menu.

Move Reminders can be found in the following locations:

===Pokémon Stadium 2===
While [[Generation II]] has no formal Move Reminder, in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} at the [[Gym Leader Castle]], the player can re-teach a move to one of the Pokémon that was involved in the battle. However, there are some restrictions: the six Pokémon must come from a [[Generation I]] or Generation II [[core series]] game (i.e. they cannot be [[rental Pokémon]]), they cannot be registered, and the player must defeat the Elite Four and the Champion in a single sitting (i.e. without using the Suspend option). For some Pokémon that can only be obtained at high levels, this is the only way to learn certain moves; for example, this is the only way for {{p|Mewtwo}} to learn {{m|Disable}} in Generation I or II, as it can only be obtained at Level 70 or above.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, and Rescue Team DX===
{{main|Pokémon Square#Gulpin Link Shop|Pokémon Square → Gulpin Link Shop}}
The Gulpin Link Shop, a shop in [[Pokémon Square]], allows team members to remember forgotten moves, in the same manner as the Move Reminder for level-up moves in the core series games.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Gulpin cannot teach {{p|Deoxys}} moves it has forgotten; this restriction is removed in Rescue Team DX.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky===
{{main|Treasure Town#Electivire Link Shop|Treasure Town → Electivire Link Shop}}
The Electivire Link Shop, a shop in [[Treasure Town]], allows team members to remember forgotten moves, in the same manner as the Move Reminder for level-up moves in the core series games. The shop opens after the player gains access to [[Apple Woods]].

Electivire cannot teach {{p|Deoxys}} moves it has forgotten.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)===
The [[Slaking Move Relearner]] allows team members to remember forgotten moves, in the same manner as the Move Reminder for level-up moves in the core series games.

In ''Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad!'' it is located in {{OBP|Pokémon Village|Mystery Dungeon}}; in ''Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad!'' it is located in [[Pokémon Beach]]; in ''Go For It! Light Adventure Squad!'' it is located in {{OBP|Pokémon Garden|Mystery Dungeon}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity===
{{main|Pokémon Paradise#Scraggy's Savvy Moves|Pokémon Paradise → Scraggy's Savvy Moves}}
Scraggy's Savvy Moves, a shop in [[Pokémon Paradise]], allows team members to remember forgotten moves (in the same manner as the Move Reminder for level-up moves in the core series games) or delete moves (like a [[Move Deleter]]). The shop opens after the team completes [[Desolate Canyon]] for the first time.

Scraggy's Savvy Moves is unlocked after completing [[Desolate Canyon]] for the first time. Acting as the Move Deleter and Move Reminder for this game, Scraggy changes the Pokémon's moves.

===Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon===
{{main|Hawlucha's Slam School}}
Hawlucha's Slam School, a shop in [[Serene Village]], allows team members to remember forgotten moves (in the same manner as the Move Reminder for level-up moves in the core series games) or change their Abilities.
