Most common TMs
The last stat Game Freak has revealed was the most common TMs used to teach Pokémon certain attacks. The one that is the most obvious in retrospect is Tera Blast, a normal-type move that takes on the elemental affinity of its user’s Tera type. Nearly every Pokémon can learn this move, but none of them learn it naturally through leveling up, so statistically speaking, it makes sense that it would be one of the most-used TMs in the game. The full list is as follows:
TM 073 Drain Punch
TM 171 Tera Blast
TM001 Take Down
TM005 Mud-Slap
TM007 Protect
Scarlet and Violet spent an extra year in the spotlight as the primary Pokemon games on the market, as The Pokemon Company didn’t release a new RPG or expansion this year. Pokemon Legends: Z-A will come to Switch sometime in 2025, but 2024 was the first year there wasn’t a new Pokemon game or DLC on the market since 2015. And if you’ve still not played, it’s well worth dipping in.
