Move Tutor: Difference between revisions

A '''move tutor''' (Japanese: '''わざおしえ人''' ''Move Teacher'') is a [[non-player character]] who will teach a [[Pokémon]] [[moves]] that are not normally able to be learned through [[level]] up, [[TM]]s, or [[HM]]s.  Move tutors are found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]. They are not to be confused with [[move relearner]]s.

These move tutors are in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.  They do not appear in the [[Generation I|older versions]] for the [[Game Boy]] system.

These tutors will teach a Pokémon a move otherwise unobtainable with the [[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.

A woman at Boon Island's [[Cape Brink]] will teach one move to each of the fully evolved Kanto starter Pokémon. She will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}} to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{m|Blast Burn}} to {{p|Charizard}}. The moves can only be taught to one of these three Pokémon once, and the Pokémon learning the move must have maximum [[happiness]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, various move tutors can be found across the [[Hoenn]] region. Some moves may be purchased at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Those that cannot be purchased may only be learned once from the tutor.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, there is a move tutor in [[Agate Village]].

There are two Move Tutors in Sinnoh - one on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} and one on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}. The move tutor on Route 210 teaches {{m|Draco Meteor}} to a Dragon-type Pokémon which has had its [[happiness]] maximized. Similar to the Cape Brink move tutor in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Route 228 move tutor will teach one of the elemental versions of {{m|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.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, there are four move tutors in Unova - one in [[Hodomoe City]], one on {{rt|13|Unova}}, one in [[Souryuu City]] and one in [[Hiun City]]. A man in his house in Hodomoe City teaches the newly-introduced {{DL|Move variations|Oath moves}}, which can be combined with each other in double and triple battles for additional effects. As before, the elemental {{m|Hyper Beam}} variants can be taught to [[happiness|happy]] fully-evolved [[starter Pokémon]] of each respective type, with the new move tutor being located on Route 13, and {{m|Draco Meteor}} is taught by [[Souryuu Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Shaga]] or [[Iris]], depending on the game, with the same restriction as in Generation IV. Also, if the player brings an event {{p|Meloetta}} to the Cafe in [[Hiun City]], a man will teach it {{m|Ancient Song}}.  Furthermore, if the player bring the event {{p|Keldeo}} with {{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} in their party to [[Sekka Wetlands]], they will teach it {{m|Sword of Mystery}}.

** In Platinum, there are exactly two tutorable moves for every type except for the {{type2|Normal}}.

* Of all of the {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} move tutor moves, only five can be learned outside the Battle Frontier (for free). Of those five, four are learned in [[Blackthorn City]].
