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 II to VI, the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]].

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; early Generation VI distributions 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 later Generation VI distributions and all Generation VII distributions flag all moves the Pokémon knows when obtained except moves introduced part-way through that generation. 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. | ||
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. | 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.
