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]] (including the [[Battle Zone]]), [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], [[Galar]] and the [[Pokémon Stadium]]. They are not to be confused with [[Move Reminder]]s.

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 all Move Tutors in FireRed and LeafGreen and the free Move Tutors in Emerald, these moves can only be taught once.

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 [[friendship]] 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 friendship. Unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be any of the fully-evolved [[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 [[Driftveil City]], one on {{rt|13|Unova}}, one in [[Opelucid City]] and one in [[Castelia City]]. A man in his house in Driftveil City teaches the newly-introduced {{DL|Move variations|Pledge 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 [[friendship|friendly]] fully-evolved [[starter Pokémon]] of each respective type, with the new Move Tutor being located on Route 13. {{m|Draco Meteor}} is taught by the opposite game's [[Opelucid Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] ([[Drayden]]{{sup/5|Wh}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|Bl}}), but maximum friendship is not required. Also, if the player brings an event {{p|Meloetta}} to Café Sonata in [[Castelia City]], a musician will teach it {{m|Relic Song}}. Furthermore, if the player brings an event {{p|Keldeo}} with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} in their party to [[Moor of Icirrus]], they will teach it {{m|Secret Sword}}.

The moves the Move Tutors teach in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are all game-exclusive and all pertain to the {{player}}'s {{ga|Partner Pokémon}}. Once a Tutor from a later location has been visited, a Tutor from a previous location will teach new moves that the later Tutor offers.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], once the story arc of the game's Epilogue has been completed, [[Hawlucha's Slam School]] will gain the option to teach any [[Connection Orb|connected]] Pokémon various moves in return for a large amount of [[Poké]]. The moves available include all moves taught by the Move Tutors in [[#Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and all moves known by one of the game's starter Pokémon (these moves can only be taught to Pokémon in the same evolutionary family as the starter that had them).

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, once the credits roll, Gulpin will gain the option to teach any [[Recruitment|recruited]] Pokémon various moves in return for a large amount of [[Poké]].

In ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]'', the {{DL|Toucannon's flock|Toucannon}} and {{DL|Toucannon's flock|Trumbeak}} that used to care for [[Ash's Rowlet]] before it joined its Trainer tried teaching it Bullet Seed, despite {{p|Rowlet}} being incapable of using the move. With the help of family new and old, Rowlet was able to apply these lessons to learn {{m|Seed Bomb}} instead.

In ''[[PS330|The Final Battle III]]'', Crystal revealed that she and {{adv|Gold}} had been tutored by Ultima and managed to master the ultimate moves with their respective [[starter Pokémon]]: [[Exbo]] and [[Megaree]].

During the climax of the chapter, {{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 {{adv|Jirachi}}.

In ''[[PAORAS09|Omega Alpha Adventure 9]]'', Ruby stole a special [[Draconid people|Draconid]] scroll from [[Zinnia]], which Ultima later revealed to contain the essence of a move called {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. She explained that the scroll works in a similar way to her bracelets, making them both sort of primitive [[TM]]s. Ruby [[PAORAS15|later]] used the scroll to teach Dragon Ascent to {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}.

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