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 for 4000 coins, 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.
| Crystal move tutor | |
|---|---|
| Move | Type |
| Flamethrower | Fire |
| Ice Beam | Ice |
| Thunderbolt | Electric |
Orre move tutor
In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, there is a move tutor in Agate Village.
Mew, when transferred over from any game to Pokémon XD, can be able to learn other moves with the purchase of 5,000 Poké Coupons. 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.
| Mew tutor | |
|---|---|
| Move | Type |
| Faint Attack | Dark |
| Fake Out | Normal |
| Hypnosis | Psychic |
| Night Shade | Ghost |
| Trick | Psychic |
| Zap Cannon | Electric |
Hoenn move tutors
In Pokémon Emerald, various move tutors can be found across the Hoenn region. Some moves may be purchased at the Battle Frontier. Those that cannot be purchased may only be learned once from the tutor.
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.
Special move tutors
A woman at Boon Island's Cape Brink will teach one move to each of the fully evolved Kanto starter 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.
| Move | Type | Cat. | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blast Burn | Fire | Special | Route 228 |
| Draco Meteor | Dragon | Special | Route 210 |
| Frenzy Plant | Grass | Special | Route 228 |
| Hydro Cannon | Water | Special | Route 228 |
Platinum
In Pokémon Platinum, in addition to the move tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new move tutors are added, in Snowpoint City, on Route 212, and in the Survival Area.
