Best movesets to change with Technical Machines (TMs) in Pokémon Go

What are the best Pokémon to use Fast TMs and Charge TMs on in Pokémon Go to win Raid Battles and dominate Gyms? Here's the list!

Technical Machines (TMs) are what let you change movesets in Pokémon Go. You can get them from winning Raid Battles and when you use a Fast TM or Charge TM, you can improve the Fast Move or Charge Move of your Pokémon. But how do you know which Pokémon to use them on and which movesets to change? Read on!

What are the best Pokémon Go movesets to change with TMs for Raid Battles?

If Raid Battles are your things and you want to beat the Raid Bosses, these are the Pokémon you want to use your TMs on and the Fast Moves and Charge Moves you want to get. They're all single Fast TM or single Charge TM safe, which means you're guaranteed to get something better than you have.

For Fast TM, you're switching from a bad Fast Move to a good Fast Move, simple as that. For Charge TM, you're switching from a bad Charge Move to one of two better Charge Move. The best or most useful one is listed first, then the secondary one.

Pokémon	Use	Change From	Change To
Dragonite	Fast TM	Steel Wing	Dragon Tail
	Charge TM	Hyper Beam	Outrage or Hurricane
Rhydon	Fast TM	Rock Smash	Mud Slap
	Charge TM	Megahorn	Stone Edge or Earthquake
Machamp	Fast TM	Bullet Punch	Counter
	Charge TM	Heavy Slam	Dynamic Punch or Close Combat
Tyranitar	Fast TM	Iron Tail	Bite
	Charge TM	Fire Blast	Crunch or Stone Edge
Golem	Charge TM	Rock Blast	Stone Edge or Earthquake
Vaporeon	Charge TM	Water Pulse	Hydro Pump or Aqua Tail
Jolteon	Fast TM	Volt Switch	Thunder Shock
Flareon	Fast TM	Ember	Fire Spin
	Charge TM	Fire Blast	Overheat or Flamethrower
Charizard	Fast TM	Dragon Claw	Overheat or Fire Blast
Gyarados	Fast TM	Bite	Dragon Tail
	Charge TM	Crunch	Hydro Pump or Outrage

There are riskier Charge TM changes you can try for as well, for example, going for Future Sight on Espeon on Alakazam. Because of the multiple Charge Move options, you may get something else, even on repeat attempts, and either have to settle or expend numerous Charge TMs. Think carefully before you roll the dice.

What are the best Pokémon Go movesets to change with TMs for Gym Battles?

It's hard to recommend anyone "waste" TMs on defenders anymore, given the new Gym system in Pokémon Go. By punishing defenders with CP of 3000 or higher, limiting each Gym to only one Pokémon of the same kind at any given time, and making it much easier to take down Gyms, there's very little room left for classical "Gym defenders".

You're better off investing TMs — and stardust — in Raid Boss counters (see above) since anything you put into a Gym defender will, at most, only slow down an attacker my seconds. Still, if having great attackers is a point of pride for you, and you have the TMs to burn, here are your safest bets.

Pokémon	Use	Change From	Change To
Blissey	Charge TM	Hyper Beam	Dazzling Gleam or Psychic
Snorlax	Fast TM	Lick	Zen Headbutt
	Charge TM	Hyper Beam	Heavy Slam or Earthquake
Muk	Fast TM	Poison Jab	Infestation
	Charge TM	Dark Pulse	Gunk Shot or Sludge Wave
Steelix	Fast TM	Dragon Tail	Iron Tail
	Charge TM	Earthquake	Heavy Slam or Crunch
Lapras	Fast TM	Water Gun	Frost Breath
Donphan	Fast TM	Tackle	Counter
	Charge TM	Heavy Slam	Play Rough or Earthquake
Umbreon	Fast TM	Feint Attack	Snarl
Wobbufet	Fast TM	Splash	Counter
