TMs make the world go around in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Okay, not literally, but they’ll give you the ability to teach your Pokemon powerful moves to make them more formidable in battle. Things have changes with Pokemon Sword and Shields‘ TMs, though, with them now adopting the HMs property of being resuable, while TRs are now the single-use alternatives.
