A move relearner (not to be confused with a move tutor) allows Pokémon to relearn any move that they were able to learn at an earlier level than the one they are currently at, or ones from that level. Certain Pokémon have moves that may only be obtained in this fashion. Reasons for this include none of that species being able to be obtained at an early enough level (e.g. Torterra and Wood Hammer), none of that species being able to be received at an early enough level on a specific generation (e.g. Zapdos and AncientPower on Generation IV), and the species starting with more than four moves (e.g. Kecleon). One limitation is the move relearner is restricted to that particular Pokémon's moveset based on its species. Many Pokémon, especially those that evolve by way of evolutionary stone, have a move that is inaccessible after evolution, such as with Eevee, who can learn Take Down by level, though none of its evolutions can.

Generation II

Generation II has no formal move relearner. However, as a reward for beating the Elite Four and Champion at the Gym Leader Castle on Pokémon Stadium 2, the player was given the opportunity to make one of the Pokémon involved in the battles remember a move, but only if all six Pokémon were selected for battle at least once.

Generation III

Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald

Generation III introduced a man in Fallarbor Town, who allows a Pokémon to relearn a move. The service is not free, however. He will only perform the service in exchange for a Heart Scale. Some of these may be obtained in the course of the game, the rest must be obtained from wild Luvdisc.

FireRed and LeafGreen

A man on Two Island also allows the player to have a Pokémon relearn a move. The price is different from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, however. Instead of a Heart Scale, either two Tinymushrooms or one Big Mushroom must be given. This is likely due to Luvdisc not being native to the Kanto and Sevii Islands regions, while Paras and Parasect are.

Generation IV

Much like the man in Fallarbor Town, a man North East of the poké mart in Pastoria City will teach a Pokémon a move it could have previously learned but has not, in exchange for a Heart Scale. A large quantity of these may be obtained underground, though it is also possible to collect them from wild Luvdisc, but only after the National Dex is acquired.
