Pokemon Sun and Moon TM guide: Location list for every Technical Machine in Nintendo 3DS games
From Acrobatics to X-Scissor, here's every TM in Alola and where to find them.
Pokémon Sun and Moon break a lot of traditions that are staples of Nintendo's wildly popular handheld series, none more so than the complete removal of Hidden Machines (HMs).
Yet while a rideable Lapras and Charizard replace the hard-to-overwrite HMs for Surf and Fly, both moves make the transition to Technical Machine status and join a 100-strong list of moves that can be taught to any compatible Pokémon on a whim.
Of course first you'll have to find the TMs, which is often a real struggle in and of itself. With this in mind, IBTimes UK has done the hard work so you don't have to. Here is a list of all the TMs in Pokémon Sun and Moon, and where you can find them:
