To be the very best, it helps to have powerful Pokémon with powerful moves. You'll find that some of the best moves in the game aren't learned naturally but have to be taught to your Pokémon. The best way to do that is to acquire a Technical Machine (TM). There are 99 Pokémon Sword and Shield TMs in total. Some of these can be purchased while others are hidden all throughout the Galar region. Here are all of the TMs in Pokémon Sword and Shield, along with where you'll find them. The Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra have some excellent items and move tutors, but they don't have any additional TMs, so every one of these is on the Galar mainland.
