Move Tutor

A move tutor will teach a Pokémon moves that are not normally teachable through level up, TMs, or HMs. Move tutors are found in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

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. For the price of 4000 coins, this move tutor will teach a Pokémon either Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, or Ice Beam. He will only teach one move to one Pokémon each week.

Hoenn Move Tutors

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald

A man in Fallarbor Town will teach a Pokémon a move it could have previously learned but has not, for any reason, in exchange for a Heart Scale. Some moves, such as Kecleon's Thief, can't be learned by leveling up even though they appear on the Pokémon's level-up movelist, because none of that species can be received at an early enough level (such as Legendary Pokémon), or, in Kecleon's case, the species starts with more than four moves.

Kanto/Sevii Move Tutors

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

Special move tutors

A man on Boon Island will teach a Pokémon a move it could have previously learned but has not, for any reason, for the price of two Tinymushrooms or one Big Mushroom, much like the man in Fallarbor Town in Hoenn.

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 cannot be taught to the previous evolutions of any of these Pokémon, nor to any Charizard, Blastoise, or Venusaur that the player did not start with in Pallet Town.

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.

Sinnoh Move Tutors

Diamond/Pearl

A man in Pastoria City will teach a Pokémon a move it could have previously learned but has not, for any reason, in exchange for a Heart Scale, much like the man in Fallarbor Town of Hoenn would.

There is also a man on Route 228 who will teach the fully-evolved forms of all twelve starter Pokémon the moves Frenzy Plant, Hydro Cannon, or Blast Burn (depending on their type) if their happiness is at maximum.

In addition, a woman on Route 210 who calls herself Grandma Wilma will teach Draco Meteor to any Dragon Pokémon with maximum happiness.
