There are several ways for a Pokemon to learn a move. The two common ones would be by leveling up and being taught through a TM or HM.

But for advanced Pokemon FireRed players, Move Tutors are excellent NPCs for teaching specific moves. This is where our Pokemon FireRed Move Tutor list and locations come into play.
The locations of Move Tutors are in the same location every time you start a new playthrough.
A Move Tutor is an NPC who teaches Pokemon a specific move. When the Pokemon is eligible to learn the move, all you have to do is talk to the Move Tutor.
Moves can only be taught once, so make sure you pick the right Pokemon for the move.
More About the Move Deleter and Move Reminder
Unlike the Move Tutors, the Move Deleter is an NPC that deletes any move from any Pokemon. This NPC can even delete an HM move unless it is the last remaining move of a Pokemon.
The services of the Move Deleter are also free, so you can delete as many moves as you want.
The Move Reminder is an NPC that will teach a Pokemon a move that they forgot, learned over or didn’t obtain.
For example, you obtained a Pikachu that doesn’t have Thunder Shock since it is a level 1 move. You can use the Move Reminder to teach it Thunder Shock if you want.
The service isn’t free because you will need 1 Big Mushroom or 2 Tiny Mushrooms for every move you want to learn.
