- Heart Scales are essential for relearning moves via the Move Relearner.

- Luvdisc encounters yield scales when specific items are held.
- Prioritize farming in West Gearen and Amethyst Cave areas.
Best Farming Locations
Finding Heart Scales efficiently requires knowing where to look across the Aevium region. While wild Luvdisc can hold them, utilizing the Item Finder on specific maps is often more reliable for early-game accumulation.
| Location | Method | Description | Chapter |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Gearen City | Hidden Item | Use the Item Finder near the beach and rock formations. | Ch. 1 |
| Amethyst Cave | Hidden Item | Check dead ends and sparkle spots in the lower levels. | Ch. 2 |
| Sheridan Beach | Wild Luvdisc | Fish or surf; Luvdisc has a 50% chance to hold one. | Ch. 2+ |
| Terajuma Shores | Underground | Random loot in the cracked walls and rocks. | Ch. 5-8 |
| Goldenleaf Forest | Hidden Item | Search around the mossy rocks and tree stumps. | Ch. 3 |
Always keep a Pokemon with the Pickup ability in your party. While Pickup does not directly yield Heart Scales in V14, it gathers Rare Candies and other consumables that save money, allowing you to purchase resources if you miss hidden items.
Luvdisc Farming
- High encounter rate on Sheridan Beach.
- Equip a Pokemon with Compound Eyes to increase hold item chances.
- Use Thief or Covet to steal items without defeating the wild Pokemon.
Item Finder Strategy
- Obtain the Item Finder as early as possible.
- Systematically sweep every town and route before moving forward.
- Listen for the distinct audio cue indicating a nearby item.
Underground Mining
- Accessible in the Terajuma Island arc.
- Mine cracked walls for random loot including Heart Scales.
- Requires a Pickaxe and stamina management.
How to Use Heart Scales
Heart Scales serve as currency for the Move Relearner (often referred to as the Reminder Girl). This NPC allows your Pokemon to relearn moves from their past level-up movepool, which is critical for accessing high-power attacks or utility moves you skipped or forgot.
| NPC Name | Location | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Move Relearner | East Gearen City | 1 Heart Scale | Available early game near the Pokemon Center. |
| Move Relearner | Sheridan Village | 1 Heart Scale | Alternative location in the west. |
| Move Relearner | Terajuma Island | 1 Heart Scale | Located in the main village area. |
Acquire Heart Scales
Farm scales using the methods listed in the Farming Locations section. Ensure you have at least one scale per move you wish to relearn.
Locate the Relearner
Travel to East Gearen City or other major hubs. The Move Relearner is typically found inside a Pokemon Center or a specific house marked by a distinct sign.
Select Pokemon
Interact with the NPC and choose the Pokemon that needs to relearn a move. The list will display all eligible moves from that Pokemon's level-up history.
Confirm Move
Select the desired move and pay the Heart Scale. The move is instantly added to the Pokemon's current moveset, replacing an existing move if necessary.
Do not sell Heart Scales to item shops. They appear as valuable loot, but their utility for move relearning far outweighs their sale price. Stockpile them for late-game team optimization.
Priority Moves to Relearn
Relearning moves is not just about filling move slots; it is about accessing power and coverage that might not be available via TMs. Certain Pokemon rely heavily on specific level-up moves to function well in V14's tough boss battles.
| Pokemon Type | Recommended Moves | Why Relearn? |
|---|---|---|
| Starters | Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Frenzy Plant | Ultimate STAB moves available only at high levels; crucial for endgame damage. |
| Physical Attackers | ** elemental Punches, Knock Off** | Provides coverage against types that resist their main STAB attacks. |
| Special Attackers | Earth Power, Shadow Ball | Fixes coverage holes often left in special movepools during early game. |
| Utility | Recover, Roost, Will-O-Wisp | Essential survivability moves that allow sweepers to set up or tanks to stall. |
| Field Synergy | Terrain Moves, Weather | Specific moves that manipulate the active Field Effect to gain an advantage. |
Focus on relearning coverage moves first. In Pokemon Rejuvenation V14, Field Effects often dictate type effectiveness. Having a move that hits for neutral or super-effective damage on the active field is often more valuable than raw power.
