Your worst charge TM runs

Hey,
I just beat my record... My worst experience so far was using 4 cTMs to get Future Sight on my Espeon. Right now I am sitting here, having used my fourth on Salamence, still not getting Draco Meteor. Feels really frustrating and it seems there should be another way... What are some of the worst runs you had, concerning cTMs?

12 or 13 charge TMs to get DG on Blissey. Other Pokemon I just give up TMing after a while, but I really wanted a ZH/DG Blissey at the time.

4 is nothing dude

Runs of 8 or more are common

Luck in this game is fixed and rigged

I have recently complained about this regarding a zapdos that I couldn't TM to thunderbolt, in the end it took me 16 TM's to get it. The odds of which are about 0.02%

And atm, I have done 15 mewtwo raids in the past week and not one has had their CP above 2200. Another streak i'm not sure is likely to happen if it was based purely on RNG

Keep at it tho, you will get draco meteor in the end. Same as I got thunderbolt on my zapdos.

Small update: I just got 2 more cTMs from a Mewtwo raid. I am now at 6 wasted TMs... But oh well, at least it gave me a 13/15/15 Mewtwo with Psycho Cut/Ice Beam. Considering I want that Salamence to help with future Dragon raids, this is a nice compensation.

7+ TMs for Hydro Pump on a Feraligatr. If it's for pokemon i actually care, 5 TMs for a Dazzling Gleam Celebi and 5 TM for Hydro Pump Gyarados is the worst.

As for Salamence they are the worst to TM. Every one of my 4 Salamence took around 4 to 5 TMs to get Draco Meteor.

This is defintely not 50/50, it's rigged and i am pretty sure about it.

My record is 6, shared between Alakazam (seeking Future Sight) and Tyranitar (seeking Crunch).

I think the trick is to wait a day. I've heard numerous stories of people using 10-20 CTMs, and switching back and forth between the moves they didn't want, and finally giving up, and then the next day the first one gives them the move they want.

It's possible that it's truly random, and this won't matter. It's also possible that there's some weird algorithm that makes the TM more likely to hit certain moves on certain days. If the latter, waiting a day will help. If not, at most it will cost you a day.

Using this method, my worst experience was 4 CTMs to get a SD Ttar to SE. Usually I get it in one or two. Again, that all could be random numbers. Or not.

Only problem with waiting a day is that using CTM's is kinda like last go on a slot machine, you just think, next time, one more spin, gotta be, come on, shit, another go..... Don't think it's just me that feels like that, hopefully not, lol :)

When Mewtwo was only available from EX raids I was lucky enough to get a steady stream of invites. I wasn't very lucky because out of some 15+ raids the best I saw was a 91. Long before shadow ball was announced to go legacy (which was very kind of then to forewarn) I decided to TM my best. Took me 20 TMs and I was furious!

Now that you can't get anymore I'm not very upset.
