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.

==Generation I Move Tutors==

In the game known as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese}} in Japanese that was only released in Japan, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}.

In the international release of the game known as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} in English, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with only Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party and does not save during the tournament, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}. Pikachu only has to be selected for the final battle and does not have to take part in the battle.

==Generation II Move Tutors==

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.

==Generation III Move Tutors==

{{tutormv|Metronome|Normal|loc=[[Pokémon Lab]]|tm=35}}

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.

==Generation IV Move Tutors==

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 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.

==Generation V Move Tutors==

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}}.

There are Move Tutors that teach moves for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 of a specific color of [[Shard]]. They can be found in [[Driftveil City]], [[Lentimas Town]], [[Humilau City]] and [[Nacrene City]].

The [[Driftveil City]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Red Shard}}s. The [[Lentimas Town]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Blue Shard}}s. The [[Humilau City]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Yellow Shard}}s. The [[Nacrene City]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Green Shard}}s.
