From Generation II to VI, the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]]. In [[Generation VII]], the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move it can learn via level-up, including moves it would learn at higher levels.

From [[Generation VI]] onward, any Pokémon hatched in Generation VI onward may also be taught any move it knew when it hatched; this includes [[Egg Move]]s, level-up moves bred onto a Pokémon, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} bred onto {{p|Pichu}}. Also in these games, Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] can learn any specifically flagged move it knew when it was obtained; older events only flag {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive moves (such as the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Pokémon Center Tokyo Bay Inkay}}'s {{m|Happy Hour}}) and Egg Moves, whereas more recent distributions flag all moves the Pokémon knows when obtained except moves that do not exist in {{g|X and Y}}. Also, a special move known due to being a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} or an {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} Pokémon in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}} can also be taught by the Move Reminder if forgotten.

Additionally, a Pokèmon can be taught a move that it can not normally learn via level up if its previous evolution evolved into it knowing said move. 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.


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.
