Modern Emerald Move Tutors: Every Tutor, Location and Battle Point Cost
Modern Emerald has 33 move tutors: 10 NPC tutors found in towns and the Battle Frontier's own tutor counter, where you pay in Battle Points.
NPC tutors
These teach a single move each, in the same places as vanilla Emerald:
| Move | Where |
|---|---|
Swagger | Slateport City Pokemon Fan Club |
Rollout | Mauville City |
Furycutter | Verdanturf Town Pokemon Center 1F |
Mimic | Lavaridge Town House |
Metronome | Fallarbor Town Mart |
Sleeptalk | Fortree City House 2 |
Substitute | Lilycove City Department Store Rooftop |
Dynamicpunch | Mossdeep City |
Doubleedge | Sootopolis City Pokemon Center 1F |
Explosion | Pacifidlog Town Pokemon Center 1F |
Whether these are one-time or reusable depends on the Reusable TMs option you picked at the start of the game. With reusable TMs enabled, the once-only tutors become infinite but you pay a fee for each use; with it disabled, they work exactly like vanilla and all TMs are also available to buy at the Battle Frontier PokéMart.

Earning Battle Points
Win streaks in the Battle Frontier multiply the Battle Points you earn, so a long streak beats farming short runs. Trainer Hill is the other reliable source: you get 20 BP for every win, and finishing within ten minutes pays out up to 1,000,000₽ on top, scaling with your time.
