From Generation II to VI and in Generation VIII, 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 not only [[Egg Move]]s, but any other moves it knew when hatched as well (such as {{m|Volt Tackle}} bred onto {{p|Pichu}} and level-up moves known upon hatching). 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.

Special moves 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. Egg Moves known by [[Brilliant Pokémon]] or transferred through a [[Pokémon Nursery]] in [[Generation VIII]] cannot be relearned.

The Move Reminder can only teach a Pokémon moves that its [[Pokémon (species)|species]] can learn in the game at hand; they cannot teach moves exclusive to a pre-[[evolution]]. In particular, prior to Generation VIII, many Pokémon that evolve by [[Evolution stone]] have a very restricted set of level-up moves in their evolved forms compared to their unevolved forms.
