Pokemon Let's Go TM Locations: all TMs and how to get them

by RPG Site Staff on 18 November, 2018

As always, there are a number of ways Pokemon can learn new moves for battle in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, and one vital way once again is Technical Machines, or TMs. You're going to want to know the TM Locations to collect them all, of course.

There are many TMs in Pokemon Let's Go, though the game also features a slightly truncated TM list compared to recent games - just 60, down from 100 in Ultra Sun and Moon. That's welcome, however - it makes collecting them all easier, and you can then put together a fearsome battle team.

Below is a full TM list for the game - though this doesn't include moves taught by NPCs including Partner Pikachu and Eevee's new exclusive moves. Nor does it include the new Secret Techniques, which replace classic HMs like Surf, Strength, Fly, Cut and Flash. This is a complete list, however - all TMs plus where to get them.
