How to Get TMs

Ways to Obtain TMs
Checkmark Hidden Items in the Overworld
Checkmark Receive From NPCs
Checkmark Buy at the Celadon Department Store
Checkmark Exchange Coins in the Game Corner
Checkmark Defeat Gym Leaders

Find TMs as Hidden Items in the Overworld

Some TMs can be found in Item Balls in the Overworld. Unlike future titles, these Item Balls are the same color as other Item Balls, so do try to pick up any you come across.

Additionally, you can use the Itemfinder to find TMs hiding in plain sight!

Receive TMs From NPCs

Some TMs can be obtained by talking to various NPCs. They usually make the TM they give you their entire personality, so make sure to duck into different buildings and houses.

Purchase TMs From the Celadon Department Store

You can buy powerful TMs at the Celadon Department Store. These moves are usually high risk, high reward moves or useful for competitive battling.

Exchange Coins for TMs in the Game Corner

You can exchange Coins you win or buy at the Celadon Game Corner for TMs. These TMs can be obtained multiple times and are usually in high demand for a lot of Pokemon.

Celadon Game Corner Casino Guide and Rewards

Earn TMs by Defeating Gym Leaders

Beating Gym Leaders will give you TMs for a move their Pokemon usually learn and base their strategy around.

All Gym Leaders

What Are TMs?

Technical Machines

Technical Machines (TMs) are one-time use disks that contain data for a Move that certain Pokemon can learn. A TM can only give its move if the Pokemon can learn it. Make sure to check your Pokemon's moves if you get a new TM.
