How to get Charged TMs in Pokémon Go

In Pokémon GO, your Pokémon's Charged Attack is a powerful move that can singlehandedly turn the tide of a battle. However, in some cases, this default Charged Attack might not be the most effective or strategically versatile. This is where Charged TMs come into play.

Charged TMs are a game-changer in Pokémon GO, allowing trainers to customize their Pokemon's movesets to maximize how well they perform in each and every battle. Here's how you can get Charged TMs in Pokémon GO, and how you should use them.

How to get Charged TMs in Pokémon GO

Charged TMs can be acquired through various means in Pokémon GO:

• Battle Leagues and Trainer Battles: Engaging in PvP battles in the GO Battle League or against other trainers will be your go-to way when farming TMs. These can be Fast TMs or Charged TMs, so you're going to need to get lucky if you're looking for the latter specifically.
• Gym Raids: Participating in Raid Battles is one of the most common ways to earn Charged TMs. The higher the raid level, the better the chances of receiving a Charged TM as a reward.
• Special Research Tasks: Occasionally, Charged TMs are offered as rewards for completing specific research tasks or event-related activities. These come around pretty often, but it's not a reliable way of farming just Charged TMs.

How to use Charged TMs

When you use a Charged TM on a Pokémon, its current Charged Attack is replaced with a new, random Charged Attack from its available move pool. This makes the effectiveness of a Charged TM heavily reliant on your luck.

Considering how scarce Charged TMs can sometimes feel, you should ensure you don't waste them by using them all on any of your weaker Pokémon. It's recommended you save your Charged TMs for either Legendary Pokémon or powerful regular Pokémon with high IVs.
