Is there a move deleter in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?

The Pokémon series is full of Pokémon, each one learning different moves as they level up or by TMs and HMs. When using an HM, a move is permanently learned and cannot be deleted without the use of a move deleter. This may leave you wondering if there is a move deleter in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

The answer is no—there is no move deleter in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This is likely due to the titles not having HMs, meaning you do not need to worry about moves you cannot remove by learning a new move. However, you can still delete moves in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
