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

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 [[friendship]].

In {{Pokémon XD}}, there is a Move Tutor in [[Agate Village]]. Like in FireRed and LeafGreen, these moves can be only taught once.

====Mew-exclusive tutored moves====

{{p|Mew}}, when transferred over from any game to {{Pokémon XD}}, can learn other moves with the purchase of 5,000 [[Poké Coupons]]. Though this can only be done after beating the game, it 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.

Move Tutors are available at the [[Battle Resort]], immediately left of the Pokémon Center. Four Tutors have set up stands next to each other, and will teach Pokémon moves in exchange for [[Battle Points]]. The Tutors are not identified in any manner, so the moves taught at each are as follows, in order from left to right:

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, several characters comparable Move Tutors have appeared. However, instead of directly teaching the move to a Pokémon, the "Move Tutors" in the anime usually tend to just show an example of the move they are teaching, and the Pokémon has to work hard in order to properly master it.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named [[Chaz]] offered to help {{Ash}} to teach his {{AP|Pikachu}} {{m|Iron Tail}} in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle with [[Roxanne]], demonstrating the move with his {{p|Sentret}}. Although Pikachu started learning the move in the same episode, it took him all the way to ''[[AG016|The Winner By a Nosepass]]'', during the Gym battle with Roxanne, to perfect the move.

In ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} met an old woman named [[Wilma]], who was teaching an {{p|Altaria}} to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. She explained that Trainers leave their {{type|Dragon}}s under her care so they can learn Draco Meteor, and the Altaria was one of the Pokémon she was teaching at the time.

During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, an old woman named [[Ultima]] offered to teach {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] the "special moves" of their respective types. For the training, the two Trainers received special bracelets, which would only remove themselves from their wrists once they had mastered their moves. After crossing three sets of tests on [[Boon Island]], Red and {{adv|Blue}} mastered their respective special moves: {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and {{m|Blast Burn}}. Ultima also later taught {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{adv|Green}}'s [[Blasty]], by the girl's own request.

Later, off-panel, the other [[Pokédex holder]]s, including {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal|Crys}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}}, also managed to master the special moves with their respective [[starter Pokémon]]: [[Exbo]], {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr}}, [[Megaree]], [[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}. Using these skills (combined with [[Pika]], [[Chuchu]], and [[Pibu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}), the Pokédex holders were able to destroy the {{p|Kyogre}}-like monster summoned by [[Guile Hideout]]'s wish to {{p|Jirachi}} during the {{chap|Emerald}}.

* All of the tutorable moves in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} (with the exception of the three moves taught at [[Cape Brink]]) were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]]. Similarly, all of the tutorable moves in {{game|Emerald}} were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]] and/or [[Generation II]].
