Best place for fast TM?

OK this probably sounds like a silly question but where ti he best current place for Fast TMs? I hoard resources but am sitting on 45 of them and am looking for what others are targeting and more than that why. Thanks for the ideas.

On the back side of your question, using a Fast TM on a Smack Down Tyranitar is probably the WORST possible use of a fast TM.

Best use would be to get rid of a bad quick mode on a strong pokemon that's in your pokedex.

Edit: wasnt meant to be a reply to this post, but to the OP.
I would say you can use them on any pokemon that has a fast move that is clearly inferior on offense AND defense. Mud slap on Golem would be an example. Or you could use them to make type specific attackers or defenders. Like you could do dual psychic or dual grass on Exeggutor.

45 is a bit much, I usually keep 25-30 and have to delete them. You could use some on Mew to get the desired fast move.

Bin them until you have 20 left.

Go mon by mon and look up their best move (most are obvious). Maybe keep one of each fast move if possible just in case something becomes legacy in the future, due to any rebalances/changes to the game itself. Obviously don’t do this for mons that are intended to be transferred out after evolving for exp. I would recommend sorting by # or name so that each mon is grouped together.

All depends on what you have and what you want to go for

I burn them on Mew when I have more than 15 of them... If you already have everything you need, fTMs are useless until gen 4 is here

On the other hand, you might want to save them for when gen4 hits. There will be an influx of new pokemon, which means an influx of things with the wrong movesets that need to be TM'd. Your newly evolved high level great IV Mamoswine has ground moves? Time for a TM. Your Magnezone gets Charge Beam instead of Thunder Shock? TM it. (Note: I made up that example - I have no idea what quick moves Magnezone should get, it might even get a steel quick move.) You get the picture.

They are also useful for tweaking the moves, since for most pokemon, there are 2 fast moves, you know you'll get the other one. SB Mewtwo going against a psychic opponent? TM to Psycho Cut (less DPS, more EPS). Same Mewtwo going against a fighter? TM to Confusion. Repeat as needed.
