The moves are as follows:
-Covet
-Bug Bite
-Drill Run
-Bounce
-Signal Beam
-Iron Head
-Super Fang
-Uproar
-Seed Bomb
-Dual Chop
-Low Kick
-Gunk Shot
-Ice Punch
-Fire Punch
-Thunder Punch

-Last Resort
-Iron Defense
-Magnet Rise
-Magic Coat
-Block
-Hyper Voice
-Electroweb
-Icy Wind
-Iron Tail
-Aqua Tail
-Earth Power
-Zen Headbutt
-Foul Play
-Superpower
-Gravity
-Dragon Pulse
-Dark Pulse

-Bind
-Snore
-Heal Bell
-Knock Off
-Roost
-Sky Attack
-Role Play
-Heat Wave
-Giga Drain
-Drain Punch
-Pain Split
-Tailwind

-Worry Seed
-Gastro Acid
-Helping Hand
-After You
-Magic Room
-Wonder Room
-Spite
-Recycle
-Trick
-Stealth Rock
-Outrage
-Endeavor
-Sleep Talk
-Skill Swap
-Snatch

Ice Punch Conkeldurr, Mienshao, and other fight types seems like it could reduce Gliscor usage, but this also means Gliscor can run Roost, Stealth Rock, and Poison Heal on the same set.

This is list of what pokemon got what move.

Not a fan of Gliscor's superb buff, but I am glad that Unova's Pokemon gets the Move Tutor treatment! Braviary now gets to use Roost with Bulk Up, which is awesome, although Superpower would negate Bulk Up's boosts, but at least it's better than nothing. Golurk and Cofagrigus could possibly get Stealth Rock, and that's great news for my mono-Ghost team. Interesting that both Wonder Room and Magic Room are tutors, which I thought so because if they were to be a playstyle, they need to have more users!

Anyway, I remembered making a Move Tutor prediction, but I never posted the contents. The ones I guessed right were:

Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Gravity, Tailwind, Wonder Room, Magic Room, Skill Swap, Snatch, Sleep Talk, Dragon Pulse, Dark Pulse, Iron Tail, Icy Wind, Helping Hand, Bind, Knock Off, Uproar, Seed Bomb, Earth Power, Heat Wave, Signal Beam, Drill Run, Superpower, Zen Headbutt, Low Kick, Block, Synthesis, Worry Seed, Heal Bell, Magic Coat, Magnet Rise, Pain Split

I also guessed Endure, Defog, Avalanche, Seismic Toss, Counter, Body Slam, Mimic, Softboiled, Razor Wind, Fast Guard, Wide Guard, Rapid Spin, Metal Sound, Jump Kick, Drill Peck, Air Slash, Power Gem, Icicle Crash, Sucker Punch, Vacuum Wave, Steam Roller, Rollout, Mind Reader, Bestow and Soak, but those are not in the list.

Thanks for reading.

I'm so glad to see elemental punches, Heal Bell, Stealth Rock and most of the previous move tutor moves returning. We got a lot of move tutor moves and I can't wait to see who gets what.

It seems that defensive Pokemon gained a lot from this with Heal Bell, Roost, Knock Off among others.

Hydreigon can now run Earth Power, Dragon Pulse and Dark Pulse on the same set.

Cofagrigus now has a form of recovery with that Pain Split, along with Golurk.

EDIT; Also DD + Moxie + Outrage Mence, Heat Wave LR Zapdos and Moxie Honchkrow (Who also has Superpower)

NO...NO...NO!!!!

STEALTH ROCK AS A MOVE TUTOR MOVE!!!

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!

Now more people will continue to spam it...It's mot fair, GF, It broke the metagame, and now you bring that accursed move back?????

I am never, ever going on Wi-Fi on B2W2, for this exact reason.

They could have made Rapid Spin a Move Tutor Move to compensate, but no, my fears were justified.

I need a drink of Cheerwine soda now...

It's fine, it's not like it ever really went away. This really won't change much,

It makes the move more conveniently available.

That's what scares me.

A lot of these seem to be what we've got before so I'm not particularly excited on the originiality front. Drill Run is nice though. I do hope it gets given to some Poké who can't use Earthquake as Ground is a great attacking type.

Also glad to see Hyper Voice on there.

I am however very disappointed that Icicle Crash isn't on there. I think Weavile would have appreciated it greatly to hit harder with one of its great STABs.

I wouldn't be surprised if Beartic gained a lot from this. Also this means Leech Seed, Spikes and SR is available on Ferrothorn now.

Anyone know what Serperior gets from this? I hope he gets Superpower, Earth-Power and a good physical move (wonder if he'll get Iron-Tail since he has it as an egg-move?) he should definitely get Dragon-Pulse I think

I think best thing about Drill Run is that now Pokémon in animé can run a decent Ground-type move as Earthquake was banned a long time ago, and we haven't seen Earth Power for a while and due to recent we probably never will. That and I would like to run a Drill Run/Hone Claws/Dragon Rush/Stone Edge Eviolite Gabite in NU.

But overall I like the large array of move tutor moves. Especially Gravity/Roost/Super Fang/Drain Punch/Giga Drain and Pulses, as those will allow me to run more gimmicky sets. Heal Pulse/Gravity/Trick Room suicide Double Battle partner Chimecho here we go. Dual Chop is also interesting, I wonder if it will be given to some Pokémon who don't have Dragon-type moves, like Outrage was.

It still could happen, it could have been added to level up or breeding pools

Looks like things are about to get interesting again. To the guys complaining about the redundancy of move tutors, remember that this is for the Unova 'mons that never had access to them, as well as the new players that will be jumping in that won't have access to fourth gen games or tutors for the older Pokemon that are returning to the wild.

Also, slightly off-topic, but Skill Link Minccino is finally available! Hell yes!

So now it's possible to have a Gliscor with Poison Heal, Stealth Rock, and Roost. There goes the metagame.

I'm looking forward to finding out what Pokemon can learn Foul Play, it could be devastating in the hands of defensive walls with poor attacking stats. Hurray for the return of Outrage, now a Moxie Salamence with the move is legal. It might not necessarily be the best strategy, but it's sure going to be as fun as hell to use.
