A '''Move Reminder''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|技思い出し|わざおもいだし}}''' ''Move Reminder'', also '''わざおしえマニア''' ''Move-Teaching Maniac''), sometimes called a '''move relearner''' by fans, is a character who can teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} any [[move]] that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]] ([[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} to {{gen|VI}}) or at any level ([[Generation VII]]), usually in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. From Generation VI onward, the Move Reminder can also teach [[Egg Move]]s and special moves it had previously forgotten.

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; 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.
