They’ll get ideas for new moves, but how do you actually teach them the move?
If you want your Pokémon to learn new moves (or relearn their old moves) in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you’ll just need to find the specific menu option to do so. Following the trend from the more recent Pokémon games that came before this one, there’s no move tutor NPC or anything like that. You can just do all this from a menu!
Below, we explain how to teach your Pokémon new moves and relearn their old moves in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
How to learn or relearn moves in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
As your Pokémon level up, sometimes you’ll notice that there’s a new move by their name with a lightbulb, over where their gained EXP is shown. Sometimes they’ll also note that they thought of a new move when they evolve, too. This will not prompt you to automatically teach the Pokémon the move, the way it happened in previous games, but rather, you’ll need to open a specific menu to teach them their newly thought-up move.
To do this, you’ll need to do the following:
- Open your game’s main menu by pressing X.
- Select your Pokémon of choice and choose “change moves.”
- From here, you can choose to learn any new moves, and even pick moves from your available list of TMs.
That’s all there really is to it. If you accidentally overwrote a move you wanted to keep, you can also relearn the move from this menu, so there’s no need to fret too much.
That being said, you obviously cannot use this method to teach your Pokémon a level 70 move when they’re only level 30. You’ll have to wait for them to get an idea for that move.
