'Pokémon Sword and Shield' TM Locations: Where to Find Every Attack in the Game

Pokémon learn various attacks by leveling up, but there's another way to teach your partners a move they may never otherwise have.

Technical Machines (TMs) are the method of teaching attacks to Pokémon. In the past, these items were found along your journey or gifted by NPCs or Gym Leaders.In some cases they were one-use only attacks.

For Pokémon Sword and Shield and Gen 8, there is a mixture of both unlimited and single-use TMs.

If that's a bit confusing, read on to learn more about these abilities and the location of all 100 TMs

Note: This list is still being compiled.
