How many moves can a pokemon have; reasons for 9 slots

I see the sheets always have nine slots for moves. I was wondering why that was. One of my gym leader PC who is against the party wanted to know and I honestly stared at him and had no idea.

Pokemon by default can have six moves. Additional move slots can be gained in several ways:

  • Taking the Guidance feature in the Mentor class raises the move slot limit of all of your Pokemon by 1.
  • Taking the Foiling Foliage feature in the Grass Ace gives each of your Pokemon an extra move slot that can only be filled by a Grass-Type Status Move that they know. It does not provide you the ability to teach them these moves.
  • Any Pokemon with the Abilities Big Swallow, Blow Away, Bone Lord, Copy Master, Corrosive Toxins, Crush Trap, Danger Syrup, Diamond Defense, Dig Away, Dire Spore, Dust Cloud, Enfeebling Lips, Flame Tongue, Fluffy Charge, Gore, Helper, Honey Thief, Hypnotic, Leek Mastery, Lullaby, Mimitree, Odious Spray, Quick Curl, Razor Edge, Refreshing Veil, Root Down, Shell Shield, Silk Threads, Sonic Courtship, Soothing Tone, Sound Lance, Spiteful Intervention, Starswirl, Sticky Smoke, Targeting System, Tingly Tongue, Transporter, Vicious, Vigor, Voodoo Doll, Wallmaster, Whirlwind Kicks, Wishmaster or Wistful Melody may spend a Tutor Point on the Advanced Connection edge to have the move associated with that ability no longer take up a move slot.
  • Any Pokemon with the Ability Cluster Mind has an additional two move slots.

A Barbaracle with Cluster Mind and Vicious trained by a Mentor, or an Exeggutor trained by a Grass Ace/Mentor, can have a maximum of ten move slots.

Thank you. I wanted them to have 6 but when I saw those extra slots I got very confused. This clears it up a lot. I love the example provided as well. I'll post this on the table top we have going via IRL and Facebook. *bows* thank you again!
