What moves does the Pokemon Crystal Move Tutor teach?

He teaches Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, or Ice Beam for 4,000 Game Corner coins per move.

Why is the Move Tutor not outside Goldenrod Game Corner?

Common blockers are playing Gold or Silver instead of Crystal, not being in the Hall of Fame yet, missing the Coin Case, checking the wrong in-game day, lacking 4,000 coins, or already using the tutor that day.

Version Notes

Common mistakes that waste a trip

Crystal only

The Goldenrod tutor is a Pokemon Crystal feature. He is not in vanilla Gold or Silver.

In-game day matters

Use the day shown by the save file. Device or emulator clock behavior can differ from what the game is currently using.

Coins are not Pokedollars

The service costs 4,000 Game Corner coins, so ordinary cash alone is not enough at the dialogue check.

One visit per available day

After teaching a move, the tutor leaves and you need to come back on a later available day.
