Pokemon Sword and Shield TMs Locations Guide

Learn the location and description of every technical machine in Pokemon Sword and Shield and teach your Pokemon new moves

Pokemon Sword and Shield has many TM Locations all across the map. Players can use these technical machines to teach their Pokemon new moves. These should not be confused with the TRs which only have 1 use, because you can use these TM as many times as you like. Each TM has a certain new move that can be taught to your Pokemon if it can learn it. (Not every Pokemon can learn every move in the game).

In this Pokemon Sword and Shield TM Locations guide, we will list the name and location of all the TM in the game! You can unlock a TM even after completing the story, so no TM Locations can be missed.
