Pokémon Let's Go TM list - all TM locations and where to find them
Where to find all TMs in Pokémon Let's Go.
TMs, the special items that allow you to teach your Pokémon new moves, work pretty similarly in Pokémon Let's Go to how they do in the other mainline Pokémon games.
There are fewer than usual though, at least compared to reent entires, thanks to a reduced roster of Pokémon and a stripped-back experience that's much closer to the originals like Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow.
Here, we'll detail a full Pokémon Let's Go TM list, as well as noting all TM locations and where to find them, as well as what they do, in one handy list.

TMs explained and other things to know about TMs in Pokémon Let's Go
If you're new to Pokémon - or returning for the first time in a while - there are a few basics to bear in mind with TMs. Here's a quick rundown of other useful things to know:
- You can use TMs as many times as you like - unlike the originals, TMs are no longer one-time-use items. Use them on as many Pokémon as you see fit!
- The same Pokémon can use the same TM again if you delete the move - it can't learn two of the same move of course, but say your Pokémon forgot the Thunder Wave you taught it, you can just use the TM again if you change your mind and want it back.
- There are no HMs - these hard-to-unlearn versions of TMs are no longer in the game, and are instead replaced in Let's Go by Secret Techniques that you learn along the way.
- Not every Pokémon can use every TM - this is a basic one that most people will know, but note that just because you have the Waterfall TM, for instance, that doesn't mean your Pikachu can learn it!
- TMs are one of the best ways to make your Pokémon stronger - ultimately, this is the most important thing to know about TMs: use them! They can transform medicore Pokémon into strong ones by giving them better type coverage or more utility, and can give access to strong moves much earlier than Pokémon would learn them themselves.
