What is a Move Tutor?

A Grindy Way To Teach Moves to Pokemon

In previous Pokemon games, a Move Tutor was an NPC that would teach your Pokemon new moves in exchange for certain items. To teach new moves to multiple Pokemon, players would have to grind for these items and bring them to Move Tutors.

There were also Move Reminders. These were NPCs that would make your Pokemon remember any moves they've already learned in exchange for items called Heart Scales. Heart Scales were also items that players had to grind for to make their Pokemon remember old moves.
