* Signature Moves: These are unique moves that only certain Pokemon can learn, like Blastoise's Hydro Cannon or Charizard's Blast Burn. You can teach these moves to their respective Pokemon by evolving them from their pre-evolutions.
* TMs and HMs: Technical Machines (TMs) and Hidden Machines (HMs) are reusable items that teach Pokemon specific moves. You can find them throughout the game, sometimes hidden in certain locations or bought from shops.
* Breeding: Some moves can be passed down from parent to offspring through breeding. If a Pokemon knows a certain move, there's a chance its offspring will inherit it.
Here's a breakdown of how to learn these moves:
* Signature Moves: Evolve the Pokemon from their pre-evolutions (e.g., evolve Charmeleon to Charizard).
* TMs and HMs: Use the TM or HM on the Pokemon you want to teach the move. You can use each TM or HM only once.
* Breeding: Breed two Pokemon that know the desired move. The offspring might inherit the move.
Here's what you can't do in Pokemon Emerald:
* Learn moves through level-up: Some games allow Pokemon to learn certain moves as they level up, but Emerald does not have this feature.
* Learn moves from trainers: You can't directly learn moves from other trainers.
* Use "ultimate moves" like in other games: Pokemon Emerald does not have moves like "Mega Evolution" or "Z-Moves" that appear in later games.
Remember, while Pokemon Emerald has a great variety of moves, some are only accessible through specific means. If you're aiming for specific moves for a particular Pokemon, be sure to research their learnset online to see what methods you can use!
