Move Tutor's house

The northern of the two houses here belongs to an elderly man. He is a Move Tutor who is able to teach the three "ultimate moves"—Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon—to compatible Pokémon. These are powerful attacks, but may only be taught to fully evolved first partner Pokémon that have a strong friendship with their Trainer. Each Pokémon may only learn the move that matches their primary type. A list of compatible Pokémon is displayed on the wall.

It is only open to skilled Coordinators, as visitors must have at least 10 different kinds of Ribbons distributed among their party to enter. Exclusive Ribbons may be purchased from the service desk on the first floor. These Ribbons are incredibly expensive, and act more as signs of status than merit.
