Editing moves

The game allows you to edit your Pokémon moves as long as you are not logged on in-game.

Things to Know Before you Start

There is a fee to edit moves. The formula is 500 multiplied by the level of the Pokémon(500xLevel). So, for example, if you have a level 50 Nidoking, it would cost 25,000 in Pokémoney to edit its moves.

If it has one, a Pokémon can learn the moves of its previous evolution at the same level. For example:

• Growlithe learns Flamethrower at Level 49, whereas Arcanine does not learn Flamethrower at all. If the player evolves Growlithe before then, their Arcanine would never learn the move ingame. However, if the player were to change the Arcanine's moves at level 49 or above, Flamethrower would be an option.

• Natu learns Psychic at level 50, while Xatu learns Psychic at level 65. You could teach Xatu Psychic via the Playerdex at any time once it became level 50.

Editing Moves Through Playerdex

1. Once on the Playerdex website, log in with your game account (username and password).
2. Below the welcome message, click on "My Pokémon" and choose which Pokémonyou want to edit moves for. For our example, Starmie is being chosen.
3. After you have selected a Pokémon, a pop-up window will appear with the Pokémon statistics.
4. If you don't see a link marked "Edit Poké Moves" then maximize your window. Otherwise click on the link.
5. A new page should open allowing you to choose (by checking boxes) 4 moves and click the Update button (beware, the service cost to pay for editing moves is dependent on your Pokémon's current level).

Frequently asked questions

• How do I know what moves my Pokémon could learn?

By taking a visit to the World PokéDex available on the Playerdex.

• Can I Edit my Pokémon's moves ingame?

Unfortunately, there is no Move Tutor/Relearner in the game yet, so no.

• Can I teach my Pokémon TMs or HMs this way?

Sadly, TMs and HMs are not programmed into PWO yet. The only moves a Pokémon can learn are through level up.

• I deleted a good move by mistake! Could Playerdex help me?

That is one of it's most useful features! Follow this guide for editing moves and the Pokémon you selected should be able to relearn it (at its level of course). Beware, most Pokémon that evolves by stone cannot relearn some of their most powerful moves before they have evolved.

• How can I learn all the best moves for my Pokémon before the last stage of evolution?

Easy! Don't evolve it until you have made sure that it learned all moves which the next evolution won't learn. That's why it's important to consult "World Pokédex" at the Playerdex site.
