## Move Tutors

**Move tutors** are NPCs who teach a Pokémon a move it can't pick up by level-up or TM. They're a way to round out a movepool with utility and coverage moves that would otherwise be out of reach.

In FireRed and LeafGreen the tutors are spread across Kanto and the Sevii Islands. The most prized are the **starter "ultimate" tutors at Cape Brink**, who teach Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn or Hydro Cannon to a fully evolved Venusaur, Charizard or Blastoise. Others teach moves like Body Slam, Double-Edge, Mega Punch, Mega Kick, Seismic Toss, Counter and Metronome. Emerald adds a far larger roster, including the elemental punches and Battle Frontier tutors that trade their lessons for Battle Points.

**Many tutors teach their move only once.** Before you spend a one-time tutor, make sure you're teaching it to the Pokémon you actually intend to keep, because there's no second chance on the same save.
