Quick Notes
What are TMs?
In Pokemon games, TMs (Technical Machines) are items that allow your Pokemon to learn new moves. These moves have specific types and can dramatically impact the outcome of battles. TMs can be obtained in various ways: found randomly while exploring routes, rewarded by NPCs after completing tasks or side missions, or given as gifts for story progression.
Using TMs strategically can make a huge difference in both casual and competitive runs. Some moves may have lower power but useful effects, while others deal massive damage. Understanding which TMs best complement your Pokemon’s strengths is key to winning battles efficiently.
How Many TMs Does Pokemon Z Have?
Pokemon Z includes 108 TMs, scattered throughout the region. You will encounter them during your journey in various locations such as towns, routes, caves, and even as rewards from Gym Leaders and key story events.
Are TMs Reusable?
Yes! Unlike classic Pokemon games like Emerald, where TMs could only be used once, in Pokemon Z, TMs are fully reusable. This means you can teach the same move to multiple Pokemon without worrying about running out. This adds more flexibility to your team-building and battle strategies.
Extra Tips for Using TMs
- Plan Ahead: Keep a balanced set of moves for different types of opponents.
- Story Integration: Some TMs are tied to major events or Gym Leaders, so following the main storyline helps ensure you don’t miss any.
- Competitive Play: Use TMs to cover your Pokemon’s weaknesses, boost resistances, and maximize type advantages.
By combining this guide with careful strategic planning, you’ll always know where to find the right TMs and how to use them effectively.
