The Move Tutor

The Move Tutor

Ever wished your Garchomp could learn Dragon Dance? Or your Flareon could learn a great physical STAB move like Flare Blitz? Your lightning quick Rapidash could learn Extremespeed?

If yes, then this is just the place for you!

Here at the ASB Move Tutor, we teach your Pokemon moves that it can cannot learn naturally (through level up or via TMs/HMs or Egg moves), but learning these moves suit the Pokemon.

NOTE: A Pokemon may only learn one Tutor move.

If a Pokemon already has one Tutored move, you may exchange it for another move for half the normal price of the move.

All you need to do is to follow a few simple rules.

Rules

Fill the form below to apply for a move:
Pokemon you wish to teach the Move:
Move you wish to teach:
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move:
Customers must post a link to their Trainer Stats while requesting approval for a move for verification purposes..
If your reasons are satisfactory enough, then your application will be approved.
Note: If the combination you want has already been approved before (see 2nd post for existing combinations), you do not need to get your choice approved. You may proceed to the next step without waiting for an approval of your choice of move.
Once your application is approved, you must pay a fee (see below for the price system). Register your purchase at the Bank (http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99944) as soon as you post, and preferably post a link here as well. It's not necessary to post a link to your bank post here, but it'll be good if you do.
Your Pokemon needs to stay here for 24 hours to learn the specified move, after which they can be claimed back.
Once the 24 hours are completed, register your Tutored move at the Registration Headquarters (http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99957).
ASB Officials can overrule approvals if they think the choice of move is not feasible to learn. In such a case, your money will be refunded to you, provided you post here, with proof that the approval was overruled.
You must get approval of the Tutored Move before you can use it in battle.
All other ASB and PE2K rules apply as well.


Price System

Damage-Dealing Moves

The fees for damage dealing moves like Flame Wheel, Earthquake, etc, depends on their base power.

Base Power - Price
60 or less than 60 - $6
61-100 - $8
More than 100 - $10

Moves that gain STAB on a Pokemon cost an additional $1. Also, if a move has an additional effect, such as boosting certain stats, inflicting status would also cost an additional $1. So, for example, if a Charmander has to learn Flame Wheel (base power 60), it would cost $8, as Flame Wheel gains STAB on Charmander and also has a chance to inflict burn along with thawing the user in case it is frozen.

A move that causes damage to the user, in the form of lowering stats, recoil, etc., it would cost $1 less.

NOTE: Prices will be subject to change depending on the advantages/disadvantages the move offers, such as priority, etc.

Non-Damaging Moves

Since it is relatively tough to classify Non-Damaging Moves as good or not-so good move, there is no hard-and-fast rule for their prices. Moves that are not too powerful will cost $7, those which are very useful will cost $10, and the relatively good moves which are somewhere in between the two categories will cost $8. The prices will be decided by the Move Tutor according to the choice of move and Pokemon, when you post for approval. It will also be good if you post what you feel should be the price for your move. Few things are to be noted though.

Status modifiers which boost your stats or lower your opponent's stats by two stages, like Swords Dance or Metal Sound cost $10. Status modifiers which boost your stats or lower your opponent's stats by one stage, like Meditate or Growl cost $7. Status inflicting moves like Will-O-Wisp cost $8.

Giving a 50% discount to the first three customers on purchase of Tutored moves, meaning just a cost of $5 per move.

Yeah, this is to boost business :P

[Get Innocuous]

Pokemon you wish to teach the Move: Metagross
Move you wish to teach: Metal Burst
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move: It's made of metal and has a nice, big reflective surface with which to reflect attacks and stuff.

$5 shall be paid upon approval.

[Mitsuzo-kun]

Pokemon you wish to teach the Move: Kecleon
Move you wish to teach: Encore
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move: Kecleon learns many disruptive attacks. It has hands, so it can clap. It's quite cute IMO, adding to its ability to make the foe repeat its move. It's a normal type also, the same as Encore.

:o I thought Kecleon could actually learn Encore. This is approved as well.

Also, adding another small rule, customers must post a link to their Trainer Stats while requesting approval for a move for verification purposes.

You two may do so now, along with your bank transactions, and you're good to go :3

Hm, Aqua Jet for Poliwag's seems good, approved.

However, you post your transactions only once your move choice has been approved. Include a link to your bank transactions as well as your stats in your other post and you're set. Payment pending.

Also to everyone: Please include a link to your bank transactions in your post once your move choice has been approved, as well as a link to your stats in either of your posts.

The Discounts have been taken, but I'll be offering a further discount. Cost per move is $7 until further notice.

[Get Innocuous]

Also to everyone: Please include a link to your bank transactions in your post once your move choice has been approved, as well as a link to your stats in either of your posts.

Um, why? o.O We already link to a transaction post from the Bank, so there's no need to link back to it, surely?

I'd still like to verify if the person has actually posted in the Bank or not, like, Politoed Hunter hasn't posted in the Bank, though he subtracted the money already.

If the Officials feel that there's no need, then I guess not...

It's just, like, unnecessary editing of posts. To be honest, you don't need to worry about who's actually registered transactions - that's the job of the Bank staff, and they are usually quick to notice any discrepancies.

Pokemon you wish to teach the Move: Gengar
Move you wish to teach: Pain Split
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move: It's a very ghostly move, really. Gengar are nasty creatures who would quite enjoy sucking up the life force of others.

You get seven dollars later.

When Mismagius and Spiritomb get Pain Split, I really don't see why Gengar shouldn't be able to learn it. Approved

The price system has been revamped. There is also a 48 hour discount, as this is kind of a fresh start. Please check the first post for details.

[Gold Rush]

Eh I guess I'll do it now >>

Pokemon you wish to teach the Move: Munchlax
Move you wish to teach: Encore
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move: Encore is a normal type move, learned by cute Pokemon and Munchlax is a normal type and you can't say Munchlax is not cute :3

I guess that is $5? cus it would be $10 in the normal price.

Pokemon you wish to teach the Move: Gastly
Move you wish to teach: Pain Split
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move: Alot of ghosts know this move, and I really didn't see why Gastly/ Gengar did not get it q_q

This is probably another 5 dollars, if you don't mind could you post so I can make sure I got the right amount of money?

$111 - $10 = $101

Be back in 24 Hours I guess

Encore for Munchlax looks good. Approved.

Yeah, those would cost $5 with the discounts. Approved. Collect your Pokemon after 24 hours.

EDIT: Forgot about this myself, but you need to post your stats as well. Letting it pass this time, but please remember in the future.

[Gold Rush]

I'll be collecting my Pokemon.

We've got a Special Halloween Offer up, check first post for details!

[Scourge of Amaranth]

I've a question. In HGSS, Gengar received Pain Split. Can we negotiate some form of recompensation/move swap for anyone who buys a move that their Pokemon later acquires, or is that out of the question?

You can get another move for your Gengar in place of Pain Split. No charge, no wait.

Earthquake work?

Pokemon you wish to teach the Move: Gengar
Move you wish to teach: Earthquake
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move: Several ghost types are capable of learning it; the initial reason one might think it COULDN'T is the fact that it doesn't weigh much, but there are several very light-weight basic mons with the ability.

And if not, I'll fill out a form for Flamethrower, I s'pose.

Hm, Gengar learning Earthquake doesn't fit really, for the very reason you stated. It's Levitating mostly, and even if it comes down to launch an Earthquake, it appears too light-weight to successfully launch an Earthquake. I know Nintendo often gives mismatched moves, but eh, Earthquake for Gengar will still be a no for me.

Sorry, not approved.

Mmkay. Let's try this, shall we?

Pokemon you wish to teach the Move: Gengar
Move you wish to teach: Shadow Sneak
Reasons which support your Pokemon learning the chosen move: It's a very... ghosty move. Ghost type, sneaky and malicious, et cetera. The physical aspect of the move involves manipulating shadows, which Gengar is known to do.
