Can the Move Reminder in Sun/Moon teach my Pikachu Electro Ball if it evolved from Pichu after lv.13?

I noticed in Moon that the Move reminder is super wonky and it really made me mad.

I had a Marowak that knew Focus Energy from when it was a Cubone so I could use it a second time and follow it up with Stomping Tantrum – then I forget Focus Energy to replace with Thief so I could get Leftovers from a wild Munchlax. I went to the move-reminder only to find that I couldn’t re-learn Focus Energy for whatever dumb reason.

Now, in Sun, I want to have an Alolan Raichu that knows Electro-Ball, but my Pichu only evolved into Pikachu AFTER lv. 13, when Pikachu learns Electro Ball.

Since last time I tried to rely on the move-reminder she reeled back and sucker-punched me in the stomach, I am understandably less inclined to trust her.

If I bring my Pikachu all the way up to Mt. Lanakila to her, will she bless me with the grace of allowing him to learn Electro Ball? Or is she just going to haul off and punch me again?

the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move it can learn via level-up, including moves it would learn at higher levels.

sourceAlolan Marowak can’t learn focus energy by level up, so the move reminder wasn’t supposed to teach focus energy. Your attitude isn’t helping anybody. Since your other Pokemoncanlearn electro ball by level up, the move reminder will teach it.
