Editing moves

The game allows you to edit your Pokemon moves whether or not you're ingame.

Things to Know Before you Start

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

If it has one, a Pokemon 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 it 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 Pokemon" and choose which Pokemon you want to edit moves for. For our example, Starmie is being chosen.
3. After you have selected a Pokemon, a pop-up window will appear with the Pokemon's statistics.
4. If you don't see a link marked "Edit Poke 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).

Frequency asked questions

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

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

• 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 Pokemon you selected should be able to relearn it (at its level of course). Beware, most Pokemon that evolves by stone cannot relearn some of their most powerful moves before they have evolved.

• My Poliwrath didn't learn Hydro Pump! Can I edit it?

It's a common question asked by newcomers who had evolved their Pokemon too early. Some Pokemon (mostly Stone Evolvers) such as Poliwrath cannot learn their most powerful moves when evolved too early, even Playerdex cannot help. The pre-evolution moves currently cannot be learned again once the Pokemon evolved but perhaps in the future this feature could be looked at.

• How can I learn all the best moves for my Pokemon 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 probably won't learn. That's why it's important to consult "World Pokedex" at the Playerdex site.
