The Move Reminder can only teach a Pokémon moves that its {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} can learn; they cannot teach moves exclusive to a pre-[[evolution]]. In particular, many Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]] have a very restricted set of level-up moves in their evolved forms compared to their unevolved forms. For example, {{p|Eevee}} can learn {{m|Take Down}} by leveling up, but none of its evolutions can; this means that an Eevee could be taught Take Down by a Move Reminder (if it has the appropriate level prior to Generation VII), but a {{p|Vaporeon}} or other [[Eeveelution]] could not. | The Move Reminder can only teach a Pokémon moves that its {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} can learn; they cannot teach moves exclusive to a pre-[[evolution]].

Certain Pokémon may also be taught moves via the Move Reminder that they would not normally learn until a later level or at all by leveling up. For example, while {{p|Lopunny}} could normally only learn {{m|Healing Wish}} at level 63 by leveling up, a Move Reminder can teach the move to Lopunny before then since it also counts as one of Lopunny's starting moves. The move {{m|Rototiller}} can also be taught to Lopunny by a Move Reminder, and this is the only way for Lopunny to learn this move. Other moves can only be taught this way for reasons such as the Pokémon not being able to be obtained at a low enough level (e.g., {{p|Zapdos}} and {{m|Ancient Power}} starting in [[Generation IV]]) or the species having more than four starting moves (e.g., {{p|Kecleon}}).

For example, if a player evolves a {{p|Numel}} that knows {{m|Double-Edge}} into a {{p|Camerupt}}, that Camerupt will have access to Double-Edge if it ever forgets the move, even though it does not normally learn it. | ||
