A move tutor (Japanese: わざおしえ人 Person that teaches moves) will teach a Pokémon moves that are not normally teachable through level up, TMs, or HMs. Move tutors are found in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Orre, and Sinnoh. They are not to be confused with move relearners.

Johto move tutors

In Pokémon Crystal, an elderly fellow visits Goldenrod City's Game Corner every Wednesday and Saturday after the player has become League Champion. He teaches three different moves, two of which were TMs in Generation I and returned to that status in Generation III, and one of which later became a TM with the other two.

This can only be done after beating the game, but can be done multiple times. Mew does not normally learn the following moves, but is able to do so through the use of this move tutor. Various movesets can be taught as well.

Kanto/Sevii move tutors

These move tutors are in FireRed and LeafGreen. They do not appear in the older versions for the Game Boy system.

Normal move tutors

These tutors will teach a Pokémon a move otherwise unobtainable with the current, Generation III TM list. Many of the NPCs which gave a TM containing a move in Generation I that is no longer available in TM form in the current generation will directly teach the move they would have given instead. These can only be taught once.

Move Type Location Gen I TM

Special move tutors

A woman at Boon Island's Cape Brink will teach one move to the player's starting Pokémon. She will teach Frenzy Plant to Venusaur, Hydro Cannon to Blastoise, and Blast Burn to Charizard. The moves can only be taught to Venusaur, Blastoise or Charizard and the Pokémon learning the move must have maximum happiness.

Sinnoh move tutors

Diamond/Pearl

There are two Move Tutors in Sinnoh - one on Route 228 and one on Route 210. The move tutor on Route 210 teaches Draco Meteor to a Dragon-type Pokémon which has had its happiness maximized. Similar to the Cape Brink move tutor in Fire Red and Leaf Green, the Route 228 Move Tutor will teach one of the elemental versions of Hyper Beam to a fully-evolved starter with maximum happiness. Unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be any of the twelve starter Pokémon, but the move's type will always correspond with the Pokémon's primary type. Also unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be taught as many times as the player likes.
