Move Tutor: Difference between revisions

A '''Move Tutor''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|技教|わざおし}}え{{tt|人|びと}}''' ''Move Teacher'') is a [[non-player character]] who will teach a [[Pokémon]] specific [[move]]s. Move Tutors are found in [[Kanto]] (including the [[Sevii Islands]]), [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], and the [[Pokémon Stadium]]. They are not to be confused with [[Move Reminder]]s.

In {{game|Crystal}}, an old man visits the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] every Wednesday and Saturday after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. He teaches three different moves for 4000 coins, two of which were [[TM]]s in [[Generation I]] and returned to that status in [[Generation III]], and one of which later became a TM with the other two. These moves are breedable in the same fashion as TMs and HMs. After teaching a move, the man will leave and will not be able to teach another move until the next available day.

A [[Ultima|woman]] at [[Two 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 only be taught once.

====Mew Move Tutor====

A Move Tutor at [[Mt. Battle]] can teach {{p|Mew}} moves for the cost of 5,000 [[Poké Coupons]]. This can only be done after beating the game, but it can be done multiple times. Unlike other Move Tutors, this one does not give the player a direct choice in what Mew learns. Instead, he asks a few questions and then offers a full set of moves for Mew.

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 Point]]s. The Tutors are not identified in any manner, so the moves taught at each are as follows, in order from left to right:

{| style="margin:auto"

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|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 until the events of ''[[AG016|The Winner By a Nosepass]]'', during the Gym battle with Roxanne, to perfect the move.

In ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry]]'', when Ash was having trouble of teaching his {{AP|Swellow}} {{m|Aerial Ace}}, a man named "[[Vladimir]] the Attacker" offered to teach Ash how to use the move properly, using his {{p|Pidgeotto}}'s Aerial Ace as a demonstration. Swellow managed to master the move in [[AG091|the next episode]].

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', after seeing {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Energy Ball}}, Ash asked Kenny to help his {{AP|Turtwig}} to learn the same move. Kenny eventually agreed to teach Energy Ball to Turtwig, and, after many failures, the move was finally perfected in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''. According to Kenny, learning the move would have been easier if Turtwig had known {{m|Bullet Seed}}, since the two attacks require the same kind of focusing of power.

In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', [[Reggie]] and his {{p|Staraptor}} helped [[Ash's Staravia]] learn {{m|Brave Bird}}. The move was perfected by the time of Ash's [[Veilstone Gym]] battle with [[Maylene]] in [[DP068|the next episode]].

During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, an old woman named [[Ultima]] offered to teach {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] the "ultimate 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 [[Two Island]], Red and {{adv|Blue}} mastered their respective ultimate 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, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} also managed to master the ultimate moves with their respective [[starter Pokémon]]: [[Exbo]] and [[Megaree]]. During the {{chap|Emerald}}, {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were each given one of Ultima's bracelets, allowing their respective starters, {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr}}, [[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, to learn the ultimate moves as well. Using these skills (combined with [[Pika]], [[Chuchu]], and [[Pibu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}), the [[Pokédex holder]]s were able to destroy the giant {{p|Kyogre}}-like monster summoned by [[Guile Hideout]]'s wish to {{p|Jirachi}}.

Emerald visited a Move Tutor off-panel before ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', where he was shown to have taught his {{TP|Emerald|Dusclops}} {{m|Fire Punch}} with the [[Battle Point]]s he had earned in preparation for his {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} challenge, where the move proved its usefulness by easily taking out {{tc|Aroma Lady}} Rose's {{p|Vileplume}}.

* 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}} and {{Pokémon XD}} (with the exception of the moves that can only be taught to {{p|Mew}}) were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]] and/or [[Generation II]].
