Move Tutor
A move tutor (Japanese: わざおしえ人 Person that teaches moves) will teach a Pokémon moves that are not normally teachable through level up, TMs, or HMs. Move tutors are found in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Orre, and Sinnoh. They are not to be confused with move relearners.
Johto Move Tutors
In Pokémon Crystal, an elderly fellow visits Goldenrod City's Game Corner every Wednesday and Saturday after the player has become League Champion. He teaches three different moves, two of which were TMs in Generation I and returned to that status in Generation III, and one of which later became a TM with the other two.

Hoenn Move Tutors
In Pokémon Emerald, various move tutors can be found across the Hoenn region. Some moves may be purchased at the Battle Frontier.
Kanto/Sevii Move Tutors
These move tutors are in FireRed and LeafGreen versions. They do not appear in older versions for the Game Boy system.
Normal move tutors
These tutors will teach a Pokémon a move otherwise unobtainable with the current, Generation III TM list. Many of the NPCs which gave a TM containing a move in Generation I that is no longer available in TM form in the current generation will directly teach the move they would have given instead.
Special move tutors
A woman at Boon Island's Cape Brink will teach one move to the player's starting Pokémon. She will teach Frenzy Plant to Venusaur, Hydro Cannon to Blastoise, and Blast Burn to Charizard. The moves can only be taught to Venusaur, Blastoise or Charizard and the Pokémon learning the move must have maximum happiness.
