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 exact amount will be seen when you try and edit your Pokemons move, however usually the price is higher depending on the level and the amount of moves you want to change.

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. Please make sure you are logged out of the game to edit your Pokemons moves.
2. Go to the Playerdex website, log in with your game account (username and password).
3. On the top menu bar, click on "My Pokémon" and click on the Pokémon sprite you want to edit moves for. For our example, Snorlax is being chosen.
4. Once clicked, you will see the Pokemon on the right hand with all the information of it, and the skills at the bottom with the moves it can currently learn/has learnt.
5. Unselect any moves that you do not want, and select any move that you do want. Please note that selecting more than 4 skills will mean you are charged for moves which won't be added to your Pokémon.
6. Once you're done selecting moves, click on "Update Skills" and your moves will have been updated on your Pokemon.

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, or that Pokemons page on this Wiki.

• Can I Edit my Pokémon's moves in-game?

It may be possible, to see if your Pokemons move is available, please visit that Pokemons webpage on our Wiki to see what moves it can learn by TM's or by the Move Tutors.

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

HMs currently are not implemented, sadly. TMs are, with a limited amount available—some TMs of which may be a cheaper alternative in relearning a move than playerdex's move relearner, for higher-level Pokémon that scale up the service's price.

• 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.
