Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Isle of Armor expansion has a special Move Tutor that resides on the island’s dojo.
The Move Tutor teaches completely new moves to your eligible Pokémon in exchange for five Armorite Ore, which can be found around the Isle of Armor. You can only access this tutor once you complete all of Mustard’s trials at the dojo and get Kubfu.
You can find Armorite Ore from Digging Ma, who is found in random spots around the Isle of Armor.
You can also find it on the ground as a sparkling item and as a reward from completing Max Raid Battles on the island.
While these moves may resemble other existing moves, the typing is the important thing. This adds tons of new possibilities for competitive battling, as now there are even more moves that you can capitalize STAB (same-type attack bonus) with.
For example, Explosion — which attacks every other Pokémon with high power and then causes the user to faint — now has a fairy-type counterpart: Misty Explosion. Ice-type Pokémon now have a physical move that hits consecutive times called Triple Axel. The moves this tutor has to offer will be important if you’re trying to really become the best trainer around.
Take a look at the full set of moves below:
