These are found to the north west of Jubilife Village and you can head up the stairs when you’re there and you will observe a battling area. Near the area you will find an NPC and you should proceed to talk to her. She will offer you numerous options, one of the options is to learn moves and that applies for any Pokemon that you have roaming around/within your party at that specific moment.

Notably, you will be able to observe what moves are learnable for the pokemon and choose whatever one you would most want at that particular moment. Furthermore, new moves will of course be unlocked for teaching from evolutions and levelling the pokemon. Once you have found a move you want to unlock on the list, you can pay a certain amount of money in order to learn it.

From that point, you can then equip it with the Pokemon’s battle move-set in order to utilise it in combat.
