How to Use Cut

Press the A Button Towards the Tree

You can use Cut by pressing the A button towards a tree with two branches to cut it down. Note that you cannot use this hidden move to cut down large trees other than the one seen in the above image.

Defeat Gardenia to Use Cut as a Hidden Move

You cannot use Cut as a Hidden Move unless you have defeated Gardenia, the gym leader at Eterna City. Her team consists of Grass-type Pokemon so be sure to bring any Fire-type or Poison-type Pokemon to deal with her Cherubi, Turtwig, and Roserade.

Use Poketch and Switch to the Hidden Moves Screen

You can also use Cut as a hidden move from the Poketch app. If the Poketch app does not appear in the upper right corner of the screen, press the R button twice. If a small screen is displayed, press the R button once to enlarge it.

Once the Poketch app is displayed, press the red button to switch to the Hidden Moves screen and select Cut from the menu.

It is recommended to simply press the A button towards the tree as it is faster to do so.
