Am I the only one that's hesitant about the introduction of TMs into the game? Everybody seem super hyped about it but I get the feeling that it will remove the exclusivity of the best movesets on fantastic Pokemon as everyone with high IV mons will be able to learn them the best moves now.

I'm still not sure we know how thet work. If they are still RNG, people could still be getting bad movesets over and over. Also, good and bad movesets could change. I am not overly thrilled about them but I will hold my judgement for now.

On the website it says you can teach a new charge move or a new fast move. So it does increase the chances of getting exactly what you want if first you do charge move 50% of dragon tail. I think it would be better if it were a 1/6 chance and both moves changed at random.

Well we don't know exactly how it works just yet. It is going to depend on how they decide to implement it. It could be from the current moves each pokemon knows, or they could make it a rng from the entire move pool, since they said you teach them a new move.

So it could be on a steel wing/ hyper beam dragonite, you use the charger TM, and confirm you want to. Then it give say 3 charge moves. Say for instance Aerial Ace, Hyper Fang and Thunder. Then asks which move would you like to teach your dragonite?

Would allow players to change their moves without everyone having the same movesets on every pokemon instantly. But we still have to wait and see how it works first

Well, we don't know still how they will work. It just says teach your mon new fast and charge moves. Maybe you can't get legacy moves from them, maybe it is just a random reroll instead of choosing between all that mon moves pool, so imagine you use TM on a Dragonite with Hurricane in order to get Outrage and you end up getting HyperBeam...If it is pure RNG it might be a lot of tries until you get what you want/need, so the only thing you save is that mon candy.

For people that are not in big cities with a lot of rare spawns I think TM's are even more needed, it might take 6 months to try a second roll on that Dragonite or Tyranitar, so I am glad they did this, but let's wait until we see how TM's work.

That news is the only reason I decided to continue playing after evolving my fifth SW Dragonite and sixth DC Charizard yesterday. I understand the TMs will be rare and probably hard to get. But at least there's hope for my mon that I ruined by evolving.

You still have to figure, to get this item you still have to defeat a raid..... Seriously, go tell me you are gonna defeat 10-15 raids in the first week and change everything single mon with high IV to the perfect moveset on the first attempt. Plus i doubt you even get TMs on every raid defeat.

But they will never be able to get legacy moves! My DB/DC D'nite will still be unique.

True. But I'm not sure DB/DC is going to be that much more desired than DB/Outrage.

My DB/Hyperbeam Dragonite is going to go after that

DT/OR is better than DB/DC (sorry, I have both) but his point is still valid...the good legacy moves are still going to be cherished.

This is a door to awesomeness or disaster depending on how we look at it.

Imagine all those legacy DB/HB or DB/DP Dragonites out there. If trainers can choose to reroll only the charge move and it picks from the current move pool availble, then someone can end up with DB/OR or DB/Hu.

Or a legacy Gyarados with DB/OR.

Madness I say, madness!!

I'm calling it now...my db/hb Dragonite will become a db/hb Dragonite...

A trainer cannot have a DT/DC dragonite.

DC is legacy and not part of the current available move pool. Only HB, OR, and Hu are available for charged moves. and DT, SW for quick moves.

If a player rerolls the quick move on a SW/DC Dragonite, he has a 50% chance of getting a DT/DC.

Ah yes! I forgot if they already have DC then they can reroll the quick move to get DT/DC.

I'm a little more worried now as that's a dangerous combo.

Good lord, I hope so! Because after yesterday, I really don't have the fortitude to work my way back up to 124 candies for another [based on my history] very slim to none chance.

That is good news for my 100% Dnite!

As it should always have been... That's what Pokemon it is about. You catch a pokemon and train him. Not grind thousands of them hoping to randomly get a decent move. Certainly a change for good!
