Fine, fine, I don't mind teaching steely moves to Shiranui, Pancham will surely enjoy helping out such a big and strong Fighting Type. ^^ When however is yet uncertain, but be sure that it's not forgotten.

Using Fight Skill instead of Knowledge sounds...unfitting to me if imagining the scenario of Tutoring, as one has to understand the theory and background of the desired move oneself to a good degree  first before trying to explain it to a Pokemon. I'm sorry, but I personally can't see reasoning for replacing Knowledge... But that's a fine example of chlashing between a chara that is specialized in fighting/battling (Terra) and one that does better in outside-of battle activities (Shiva), lol.

I respectfully disagree with your stance, as in order to know how to Fight well, you have to both know AND understand how to, so a person teaching someone else how to fight/Fight with Moves sounds probable to me. Terra may be poor with words/smarts, but he sure does know how his Fighting style and techniques down to tee, so coaching his Pokémon along those lines to learn the Move could possibly work. Move tutoring is more or less a lost cause to Terra otherwise, and will require me and you to heavily coordinate our activities in order to help each other out.

Humm, I can see your point here, definitely, but it still feels wrong and unnatural to me to go by Fight instead of Knowledge. Teaching a Pokemon how to use a move that it is unaware of is more than showing it how to use the move; how is the Tutor supposed to explain the move to the Pokemon, tell it how to use the move if it has little to no idea of the desired move and the Tutor has neither?

Move Tutoring is my speciality also, so I'd actually, well, keep Shiva as the only one who's really good at it. To her and me, it's a little more than bringing a useful/strong move to a Pokemon for XY's sake. A side career as a real Move Tutor is what she strives for! I'm very fine with coordinating our activities, it's working with he other players as well. Not an obstacle or a hassle, really!

EDIT: Thank you, Iron!
