[PBS Question] Adding a new line of moves in pokemon PBS

[NewAgeSteel]

so I know that with the move relearners you select a pokemon and they pull up a list of moves that pokemon can learn based on their moveset in the pbs. what im wanting to know is if its possible to define a new line of moves that can be accessed in a similar way? basically my goal here is to have another kind of move tutor that teaches specific pokemon kind of "hidden moves" but you can only learn those moves from this NPC and the list is different for each pokemon.

So, there's two ways to go about this.
If all you want is moves that can only be learned from a special move tutor, just define those move compatabilities in the tm.txt PBS file. And don't be deceived by the name - it doesn't actually define TMs, just which pokémon can learn which moves - outside of their level up learn set of course. If there is not a TM for a move defined in tm.txt, the only way for a pokémon to learn it is from a move tutor.
If what you want is for the pokemon to have a completely different learn set at this move re- learner or if you want pokémon to learn moves that are available as TMs, like teaching Charizard Ice Beam or something, you would need an alternate tm.txt. check out this tutorial on using a switch to change would encounters mid game. The code changes what PBS file the script is looking to. You'd have to adjust that code, of course, but the principle would be the same. Create your NPC event and include a command to turn that switch on and off so that those special moves are only available from that person.

Thank you both! I haven't had time the past few days to actually try this on my own, but I definitely think that you've given me the resources I need to get this done :)
