Move List & TM Locations

Mastering your Pokémon's moves and strategically using Technical Machines (TMs) is crucial for success in the challenging battles of Pokémon Colosseum. This section details where to find every valuable TM and provides insights into their utility.

Understanding TMs

Technical Machines (TMs) are single-use items that teach a specific move to a compatible Pokémon. While they can only be used once, the move taught remains permanently with the Pokémon (unless overwritten). Pay close attention to which Pokémon can learn which TM, as this can significantly enhance your team's versatility and power.

TM Locations and Acquisition

Below is a comprehensive list of all TMs available in Orre, along with precise instructions on how to obtain them:

  • TM01 Focus Punch:
    • Location: Phenac City.
    • Acquisition: After defeating Miror B. for the first time in Phenac City, return to the city. Speak to the man standing near the fountain in the center of town. He will reward you with TM01.
    • Strategy: Focus Punch is a powerful Fighting-type move, but it requires a turn to charge. Pair it with a Pokémon that has high HP and defenses, or one that can use Protect to set up safely.
  • TM05 Roar:
    • Location: Pyrite Town.
    • Acquisition: Head to the Pyrite Town Pre-Gym. Defeat all the trainers within the Pre-Gym, and the Gym Leader will award you TM05 as a prize.
    • Strategy: Roar forces the opponent to switch out, which can be incredibly useful for disrupting strategies, removing stat-boosted threats, or getting rid of Pokémon with unfavorable type matchups.
  • TM08 Bulk Up:
    • Location: Mt. Battle.
    • Acquisition: Conquer Area 3 of Mt. Battle. After defeating the Area Leader, you will receive TM08.
    • Strategy: Bulk Up is a fantastic setup move for physical attackers, boosting both Attack and Defense. Consider teaching it to Pokémon like Ursaring or Hariyama.
  • TM10 Hidden Power:
    • Location: Agate Village.
    • Acquisition: In Agate Village, locate the house belonging to the elder. Inside, speak to the woman who will offer you TM10. The type of Hidden Power is determined by the Pokémon's Individual Values (IVs), so its utility varies.
    • Strategy: While unpredictable without IV checking, a well-typed Hidden Power can provide crucial coverage for your Pokémon.
  • TM11 Sunny Day:
    • Location: Pyrite Town.
    • Acquisition: Visit the Pyrite Town Shop. TM11 is available for purchase for 2,000 Pokedollars.
    • Strategy: Sunny Day powers up Fire-type moves and weakens Water-type moves. It's essential for sun-based teams or to support Fire-type attackers.
  • TM14 Blizzard:
    • Location: The Under.
    • Acquisition: After gaining access to The Under, navigate to the Under Subway. You'll find TM14 in a chest located in one of the subway car rooms.
    • Strategy: Blizzard is a powerful Ice-type special attack, perfect for Pokémon with high Special Attack stats. Be mindful of its accuracy.
  • TM15 Hyper Beam:
    • Location: Realgam Tower.
    • Acquisition: This devastating move is found within Realgam Tower. Search the upper floors carefully; it's often in a hidden corner or behind a specific trainer.
    • Strategy: Hyper Beam is a high-risk, high-reward move. It requires a recharge turn, leaving your Pokémon vulnerable. Use it as a finisher against weakened opponents.
  • TM17 Protect:
    • Location: Phenac City.
    • Acquisition: Return to Phenac City after completing the Pyrite Building storyline. A man near the Pokémon Center will give you TM17.
    • Strategy: Protect is invaluable for scouting opponent moves, stalling for status effects, or safely setting up Focus Punch. Every team can benefit from a Pokémon knowing Protect.
  • TM20 Safeguard:
    • Location: Agate Village.
    • Acquisition: After purifying a certain number of Shadow Pokémon (the exact number can vary, but generally after purifying 10-15), speak to the Elder in Agate Village. He will reward you with TM20.
    • Strategy: Safeguard prevents status conditions for five turns, which is excellent for supporting your team against opponents that rely on status moves like Sleep Powder or Thunder Wave.
  • TM22 Solar Beam:
    • Location: Pyrite Town.
    • Acquisition: Similar to Sunny Day, TM22 Solar Beam can be purchased from the Pyrite Town Shop for 3,000 Pokedollars.
    • Strategy: Solar Beam is a powerful Grass-type special attack that usually takes two turns. However, if Sunny Day is active, it fires instantly, making for a potent combination.
  • TM23 Iron Tail:
    • Location: Outskirt Stand.
    • Acquisition: After progressing through the story and revisiting the Outskirt Stand, you'll find TM23 in a hidden area or by speaking to a specific NPC who appears later in the game. Check behind the trailers.
    • Strategy: Iron Tail is a strong Steel-type physical attack, but its accuracy can be a drawback. Consider it for Pokémon with high Attack and a need for Steel-type coverage.
  • TM26 Earthquake:
    • Location: Mt. Battle.
    • Acquisition: This highly sought-after TM is obtained by clearing Area 7 of Mt. Battle.
    • Strategy: Earthquake is one of the best physical Ground-type moves in the game, hitting both opponents in a double battle. It's a must-have for many physical attackers.
  • TM27 Return:
    • Location: Phenac City.
    • Acquisition: Speak to the woman in the house directly to the left of the Pokémon Center in Phenac City. She will give you TM27 if your lead Pokémon has high friendship.
    • Strategy: Return's power increases with your Pokémon's happiness. If you've been using a Pokémon consistently and treating it well, this can be a surprisingly powerful Normal-type attack.
  • TM30 Shadow Ball:
    • Location: The Under.
    • Acquisition: In The Under, after defeating Ein at the Shadow Pokémon Lab, return to The Under's main area. TM30 can be found in a chest near the entrance to the lab.
    • Strategy: Shadow Ball is a strong Ghost-type special attack, excellent for hitting Psychic and Ghost types.
  • TM31 Brick Break:
    • Location: Pyrite Town.
    • Acquisition: After completing the Pyrite Building, revisit the area. TM31 can be found in a crate or by speaking to a specific NPC who appears there.
    • Strategy: Brick Break is a reliable Fighting-type physical attack that also breaks Light Screen and Reflect, making it useful for disrupting defensive setups.
  • TM32 Double Team:
    • Location: Phenac City.
    • Acquisition: In Phenac City, enter the house with the blue roof. Speak to the man inside, and he will give you TM32.
    • Strategy: Double Team boosts your Pokémon's Evasion, making it harder to hit. While sometimes frustrating for opponents, relying too heavily on evasion can be risky.
  • TM33 Reflect:
    • Location: Outskirt Stand.
    • Acquisition: After the initial events at the Outskirt Stand, return later in the game. TM33 is located in one of the back rooms of the Stand, often requiring you to interact with a specific object.
    • Strategy: Reflect halves physical damage taken by your team for five turns, a crucial support move for defensive strategies.
  • TM34 Shock Wave:
    • Location: Pyrite Town.
    • Acquisition: This Electric-type TM is available for purchase at the Pyrite Town Shop for 2,000 Pokedollars.
    • Strategy: Shock Wave is a special Electric-type move that never misses, making it a reliable option for Pokémon that need Electric-type coverage but have accuracy concerns.
  • TM35 Flamethrower:
    • Location: Mt. Battle.
    • Acquisition: Defeat the Area Leader of Area 5 in Mt. Battle to earn TM35.
    • Strategy: Flamethrower is a powerful and accurate Fire-type special attack, a staple for many Fire-type Pokémon and those needing Fire coverage.
  • TM36 Sludge Bomb:
    • Location: Shadow Pokémon Lab.
    • Acquisition: After gaining access to the Shadow Pokémon Lab, explore thoroughly. TM36 is found in a hidden room or a specific locker within the lab.
    • Strategy: Sludge Bomb is a strong Poison-type special attack with a chance to poison the target, useful against Grass and Fairy (though Fairy types aren't in this game, it's good to know for future transfers).
  • TM38 Fire Blast:
    • Location: Pyrite Town.
    • Acquisition: Another TM purchasable from the Pyrite Town Shop, TM38 costs 5,500 Pokedollars.
    • Strategy: Fire Blast is an incredibly powerful Fire-type special attack, but its lower accuracy compared to Flamethrower makes it a riskier choice. Use it when you need maximum damage.
  • TM42 Facade:
    • Location: Phenac City.
    • Acquisition: After purifying your first Shadow Pokémon, return to Phenac City. Speak to the woman in the house next to the Pokémon Center, and she will give you TM42.
    • Strategy: Facade doubles in power if the user is poisoned, burned, or paralyzed. This can be a niche but effective strategy for Pokémon that can endure status conditions.
  • TM44 Rest:
    • Location: Agate Village.
    • Acquisition: In Agate Village, enter the house with the elderly couple. Speak to the woman, and she will give you TM44.
    • Strategy: Rest fully restores HP and cures all status conditions, but puts the user to sleep for two turns. Combine it with a Chesto Berry or a Pokémon that can use Sleep Talk.
  • TM45 Attract:
    • Location: Phenac City.
    • Acquisition: In Phenac City, locate the house with the pink roof. Speak to the woman inside, and she will give you TM45.
    • Strategy: Attract infatuates an opposite-gender Pokémon, causing it to sometimes skip turns. This can be a powerful disruption tool, especially in trainer battles.
