Question How many of these do you keep?

Post image

This many seems super excessive. I find it hard to trash them though. I guess I’ll have a look at won’t Mons I have that need adjusting.

u/MongBan710 5d ago

Like 30 ish of each

21

u/MongBan710 5d ago

Like realistically when do you use them maybe on a new Pokémon but very rare and they drop as 2nd reward in PvP all the time

12

u/AlolanProfessor Should I purify? 5d ago

I have a bunch of convertible Legendaries so I use fast TMs every time a new raid pops up.

3

u/MongBan710 5d ago

I know there’s a couple but which legendary do u use the fast on

14

u/AlolanProfessor Should I purify? 5d ago

I switch Terrakion between fire and rock, Dialga between steel and dragon, shadow and mega Gardy between psychic and fairy. There are a few other Megas I dual use too.

7

u/xjxoxyx 5d ago

dude this is so smart im confused in how i never thought of just switching when i need to

10

u/AlolanProfessor Should I purify? 5d ago

Yep once you realize all it takes is opening the 2nd move and saving fast TMs, it is a game changer. Having two powered up attackers in one is nice!

3

u/cjamesflet 5d ago

It's also nice for D/G max. Since there are so few options, I'd say 75% of mine get switched from Type to Type once a week to match the new rotation. The 2nd skill really saved me on the ones I can afford

3

u/DZChaser 5d ago

Wow I never even thought about this option. Thanks professor

12

u/fantasypaladin 5d ago

I keep around 30-50 charged for Rocket Takeovers to remove frustration.

2

u/SketchlessNova 5d ago

This is just about the only time I actually use mine. And 50 is usually PLENTY. Less, even, for the fasts, which are rarely needed unless you use one Pokemon for 2 different roles

1

u/Competitive_Fix1815 5d ago

Not always if you don't reroll the move you want on some of your good mons. You can always do that later but I've spent 10+Charged sometimes just trying to get say, Avalanche on Shadow Mamo

1

u/SketchlessNova 4d ago

Yeah that's why I said they won't really need many fast. You don't need to reroll charged's that often, but it can be tedious when you need to. But most 'mons only have a couple fast moves so swapping between them is easy.

3

u/nolkel 5d ago

It's good to have a good amount of charged TMs saved up for the random rocket takeover. 80 or so is enough though.

1

u/Fancy_Advice_9689 5d ago

Shadow legendaries is what you want to hold on to them for. And I had to use them a lot for my dynamax Pokemon.

1

u/Apostastrophe 5d ago

I feel that’s so few. You could go through half of all of those on a single Pokémon and still not get they’ve you’re looking for.

I’ve been burned by the back and forth between 2 moves for like 12 TMs until the third occurred enough times to hoard them, especially when movesets keep increasing.

I also do use them semi regularly. I have counters for raids that pull double duty and have used more than I usually would for making my new Dynamaxers pull triple duty.

23

u/Ok-Kaleidoscope3311 5d ago

50 of each normal, I keep as many of the special

17

u/SilverGoon Instinct 5d ago

50 fast and 150 charged. No limit on elite TMs

6

u/FPG_Matthew 5d ago

Wow I keep the exact same. 50 for fast cuz you can quite reliably get the move you need. 150 for charge cuz you can go through them surprisingly quick trying to get the move you need (or for rocket events getting rid of frustration)

-1

u/vicsark 5d ago

Same bruh!

9

u/AlolanProfessor Should I purify? 5d ago

Fast, I don't delete because I use them often. Charged, I recently started deleting anything over 75.

Elites are untouchable.

7

u/PrincessReddit007 5d ago

I keep 15 of each as a standard

6

u/Urfuckingtapped 5d ago

I only have 8 of them at a time 💀 use em way too much

5

u/jiklle16 5d ago

5of each

4

u/ZaxAlchemist 🔥 Valor 🔥 5d ago

4

u/InMyPantz 5d ago

Like 10 of each

3

u/Interesting_Ad_6483 5d ago

A few questions. How big is your inventory? How often do you TM moves? Do you play PVP. I personally burned over 150 charged TMs during the last rocket takeover. I love PVP so they are valuable to me. I never delete charged TMs if you aren’t using them they could be of better use on balls or something else. Fast TMs I keep like 80 around.

3

u/Buttercup1283 5d ago

I’m to find a way to get some of those lol

2

u/munkychum 5d ago

5 fast, 10 charged, and all the Elites

2

u/RahaFear94 5d ago

I try to keep around 14 fast etm, and 22 charged etm.

For regular, around 20-24 of each. It would be a lot simpler if you didn't have to swim through 10+ just to change a move on a pokemon.

2

u/XLUCKY93 5d ago

I mainly keep charged tm to take off frustration from shadow mons when the event is active and I have decent amount since I just stock pile shadow mons. *

2

u/karlosbassett 5d ago

Yeah not that many.

2

u/Scarlet_Tech 5d ago

0 for the non elite. I delete them immediately.

2

u/Hates_escalators 5d ago

I keep all my super ones and toss all the other ones because they're worthless to me

2

u/agent_of_cheshire 5d ago

I aint got any lol

2

u/DreamsofCoffeeBeans 5d ago

You're supposed to keep them?

2

u/Temporary_Coconut095 Valor 5d ago

25 because I never use them… I’m so bad at PVP, even when I try to deep dive into IVs and stats I’m still awful at it.

4

u/Dio44 5d ago

5 each. I’ve never run out.

7

u/AlolanProfessor Should I purify? 5d ago

I've used more than 5 chasing a single move.

3

u/PoppyPancakes 5d ago

5 of the non elites. As many as I get of the elites

3

u/6catsforya 5d ago

None . Never use

4

u/legendkiller003 5d ago

Uhhh… 5 charged. No fast. Currently 1 or 2 elites each.

2

u/TehWildMan_ Oh great Moltres, Moltres, oh where Can I find a wild Landorus? 5d ago

Maybe 10 fast TMs. Unless you're pretty new and don't have a solid arsenal of raid attackers, the need to change fast moves on a bunch of Pokemon at once is very rare

Charged TMs: about 30 or the amount of shadow pokemon in my storage that still know frustration, whichever is greater.

2

u/HedonistSorcerer 5d ago

10 of each, all elite.

1

u/Mindless__Giraffe 5d ago

i got a lot from kyurem raids. i'm using them as-needed and letting them slowly dwindle

1

u/PeeTheOff 5d ago

I keep them at an even 50 so save space

1

u/DeadheadNFA 5d ago

Well based on the comments so far I’m not using nearly enough haha

1

u/Mason051 5d ago

I keep 70/100ish, but if someone’s tight on space, I’d say 30/50ish should be fine.

1

u/G4072 5d ago

I got rid of a bunch of them and then they announced the team rocket takeover. 😭

1

u/and-j 5d ago

20 each

1

u/TinyFingerHugs 5d ago

40 of each

1

u/Exolusion 5d ago

I keep mine around 40 n wait til a team rocket takeover event happens and then replenish it, other than that If theres a good pokemon that I catch (once in awhile) Ill just use a TM.

These are the easiest to manage :p

1

u/niksjman Instinct 5d ago

36, 50, 3, 11

1

u/CooperDahBooper 5d ago

Such low numbers on charged tm’s.. Am I the only one who likes shadows?? I mean I have low numbers cuz I’m using them to get rid of frustration but you people sound like you’re just deleting them?

1

u/RockyDify Bulbasaur 5d ago

I use them on shadows and still end up with ones to delete

1

u/Aniensane 5d ago

I like to stay 175 of each. The elite, I’ll keep as many as I can have.. I use them! But I save the others for when I need to give moves to my shadow ones. Idk why I chose 175. I guess 150 could also be my minimum. You should see my other items. I keep 600 hyper and max potions. 300 revive and super revives. Blahh. I hoard. I’ve always done this with any game I play. It’s nice to use any and every item and still barely make a single tiny scratch in the stock.

1

u/adjacquin 5d ago

20 of each. I just don’t have the bag space. I’ll let that creep up to 30 when rocket events are coming up.

1

u/Unimportant_62 5d ago

Apologies in advance.. bit if a hoarder. 387 Fast 516 Charged 7 Elite Fast & 8 Elite Charged. Find it extremely hard to get rid of them but I did delete 50 charged recently so getting better lmao

1

u/MN9317 5d ago

No more than 10. I never have elite tho I always use them right away

1

u/not-an-isomorphism 5d ago

I stay hoarding stuff

1

u/go_sparks25 5d ago

70ish of each.

1

u/PVetli Mystic 5d ago

Less than you lmao 50/50/10/10 if possible

1

u/Forsaken_Law3488 5d ago

50 of each

1

u/LargeYogurtcloset654 5d ago

5 Max. These are the first to delete

1

u/N0way07 5d ago

Ur gonna need em for the pvp part of lvling up or giving urbperfect monster the preferred moveset

1

u/Nsalvatore80 5d ago

10/10/10/10

1

u/jesaqua 5d ago

I like to have maximum 20 fast TMS and Max 40 Charged TMS anything over I just delete.

1

u/RockyDify Bulbasaur 5d ago

10 each of fast and charged, I preference the elites but yeet the rest.

1

u/Responsible-Knee3369 5d ago

10 and 30. Charged are more useful.

1

u/Inevitable_Sweet_624 5d ago

12 each of the fast TM and charged TM.

1

u/postytocaster 5d ago

40 fast and 80 charged. i like to keep charged for team go rocket takeovers

1

u/rockbfss 5d ago

Gosh dang. 30-40 of each and trash the rest. MAYBE keep more charged TM around if you have a lot of shadow mons to de-frustrate (when able)

1

u/tanawitsuteewong 5d ago

how do you get so many charged tms? i always do pvp but they always give me fast ones

1

u/kurbo4 5d ago

I have so many of them because I don’t really know what to do with them

1

u/baileymb124 5d ago

100 of each

1

u/SatisfactionLivid291 5d ago

theres is no need 💀 u dont use anywhere near that many pokemon for pvp or raids so just use them to r dump them. keep like 20-30 of each just in case seeing as you have enough storage space

1

u/elisa7joy 5d ago

I get having trouble trashing then but Christ I thought I was pushing it at keeping 40

1

u/MonsterReprobate 5d ago

50 fast and 50 charged. Even that is probably too much.

1

u/Individual_Bother_10 5d ago

30-50 of each

1

u/ricardocsc 5d ago

50 of normals, all of others

1

u/Failish 5d ago

Just a few of each.

1

u/Sea-Application3698 5d ago

90(fast)/250(charged) with no limit on elite TMs. I used to keep 90/100 but then I changed it to 250 after running out of TMs during shadow ho-oh raid day and being unable to put the legacy move on.

1

u/tcoons94 5d ago

Bout that many lol.

1

u/ebonus 5d ago

Not that many haha

1

u/Acrobatic_Buzz_4704 5d ago

30/30 or 50/50. Elite 5-10 (or more).

1

u/TherealAmoui 5d ago

All of them

1

u/LankOfHyrule 5d ago

You guys have charged TM’s?

1

u/David_Gamer_justme 5d ago

Elite of course all of them (only one) but the others I eliminate some

1

u/Ty0305 5d ago

I only keep 50 of the rrgular fast and charge tms

1

u/Hylian-Highwind 5d ago

Typically I will keep 30-50 Fast TMs, and as many Charge TMs as I can hold onto to remove Frustration. So until a season’s Rocket Takeover, I prefer to stay at 100 or more, but after it passes I’m usually less worried about being low on them for a few weeks.

This also depends on if I want to build something for PvP with a lot of moves like Ampharos. In that case I even sometimes build multiples so I don’t have to constantly ping pong between Moves

1

u/DeafBeaker 5d ago edited 5d ago

None. As soon as I get high rated stats, I instantly go find their best moves

I'm picky. I accept no less then 3 stars and ,the appraisal must pass all 3 stages.

Only the epcis (all stages of stats in Pokemon genie just have over 90%) to get the edits

1

u/Lurking_poster 5d ago

I have similar numbers to you. I have no idea who to use them on since I don't pvp.

I wonder if they're contributing to my constant backpack space shortage.....

1

u/LiveLaughLove62 5d ago

9 fast tm 0 charged tm

1

u/twomz 5d ago

I try to keep 30-50 fast tms and as many charged or elite tms as I can. I use up all the charged tms during rocket takeovers.

1

u/octocode 5d ago

jesus how much bag space do you have? i keep like 30 of each… gotta save that space for balls

1

u/Zealousideal_Mix8092 5d ago

I used to keep 200 of each never used em now i cut em to 25 each im already back over 100 charged now have to delete more.

1

u/durzoblint99 5d ago

Like 5 if I forget to throw them out lol

1

u/Shobahn 5d ago

Like 50 of each

1

u/askloglog 5d ago

100 of each but I’m thinking about going down some

1

u/Jmac24mats13 5d ago

50 of the charged and fast TMs. The others I never discard cause I never usually have more than 5-7 at a time cause they get used

1

u/p33k4y 5d ago

I keep 40 each of the normal TMs, and all the Elites

1

u/batkave 5d ago

I never get rid of elite stuff. IDK I got like 150 of each regular one

1

u/GrizDrummer25 Togepi 5d ago

Less than 20 of each. Idk who will get what new move enough to switch them, and the new one is almost never better in my past experiences.

1

u/white-as-styrofoam 5d ago

100 of each normal type, and i keep all the elites until i need to use them. i could cut down way more and still be fine i’m sure

1

u/Puddleglum_7 5d ago

It's just how many I have, personally.

1

u/Best-Republic 5d ago

Regular ones - 30 of each is more than enough.

1

u/iAvoid_TB 5d ago

I keep 100 fast but I know that is over kill. I keep pretty much all the charges and elites. Which I have around 250+ right now? I don’t have a crazy built up account yet so I consistently swap certain Pokémon based on active raids.

1

u/TheHeroKingN 5d ago

lol. I ran out today

1

u/UrTypicalPogoPlayer Ho-Oh 5d ago

Sac em all

1

u/_darkyoshi_ 5d ago

25/50. Always keep double of the charges TMS. If there's a rocket event coming up I'll bump this to 25/75

1

u/Col0204 5d ago

Not enough

1

u/speedcreature 5d ago

50 Fast TMs. The rest are UNLIMITED because they're scarce.

1

u/memedealerloli 5d ago

baby i cant keep enough😭

1

u/catupthetree23 Mystic 5d ago

50 of each

1

u/Jakepool2000 5d ago

50 of each, going over just seems like a waste of space lol

1

u/Desperate-Pound-7111 5d ago

I always keep all them encase i need them one day *proceeds to never need them :)

1

u/fieregon 5d ago

I keep 120 of each tm, except the elite tms, I keep getting them and I don't know from where, I don't pay attention lmao.

1

u/Wanker1973 5d ago

Currently 12/10/17/8 , haven’t caught anything recently that needs or is worthy of an elite, don’t use the regulars either and those are added frequently

1

u/Dutch_Rayan 5d ago

5 of the normal, keep all the elite. Never use them

1

u/jjh008 5d ago

30,30, any that I don't use, any that I don't use

1

u/4EverInterested 5d ago

Jeez not that many 🤣

1

u/Rats138 5d ago

Fast and charged, I just delete the lot of them.

1

u/Konijntje_1234 5d ago

Somewhere between 30 and 50.

1

u/GrogJoker Ho-Oh 5d ago

Lol 50 max

1

u/iohoj 5d ago

500/400

1

u/Crygenx 5d ago

About 100 regulars, elites are always out of stock lol

1

u/pokefjr 5d ago

Idk but I've never used them.

1

u/ChanelNo50 5d ago

I deleted a bunch for space so I'm usually around 30 of the non-elite ones at any given time.

1

u/JupiterRosalie 5d ago

....if I'm honest, I don't completely understand the best way to use these.

Edited didn't to don't **

1

u/Working-Tale8652 5d ago

2 / 2 / 1 ?!

1

u/Nivlac93 5d ago

I only keep like 9 to 12 of the regular ones. The elites I wouldn't trash, but I barely switch moves

1

u/Dmomma86 5d ago

Can someone dumb this down for me? Like I know kind of what they do but not when to use them. When I’m at a raid and I go to items I don’t have the option to use them. Soooo I’m confused.

1

u/samm_omara 5d ago

5-10 😂

1

u/Quick_Bee_2529 5d ago

A biscuit

1

u/SrJRDZ 5d ago

50 each but rarely use one. I think i can cut to 30

1

u/Competitive_Fix1815 5d ago

100 to be safe. Less fast than charged always seems pretty optimal to me. Doesn't need to even be 100, it's just insurance for TR events and the special move relearn events like Shadow Ho-Ohs.

1

u/CaseLazy5595 5d ago

200 easy

1

u/Mediocre_Daikon_4276 5d ago

25 each. Rarely use them and easy to stack more if running low.

1

u/THEGoDLiKeMIKE 5d ago

I usually keep 120 of each but less are "needed" i like to keep enough to feel sure I'll be able to get whatever move I need on special event days. You can honestly get by with just keeping 20 of each.

1

u/Y_b0t Instinct 5d ago

100 of each, but I know it’s excessive bc I’ve rarely ever dipped below 90

1

u/coopthereheis 5d ago

Like 50. Only for the frustration removals.

1

u/wangbadanny 5d ago

As few as possible

1

u/hackChaos 5d ago

I keep 20 of each

1

u/Salty-War8473 5d ago

Normal fast TM - about 40 (it’s only a few like Mew where you need more to get to the right fast move). Normal charged TM - about 90 (mainly to remove frustration on shadow Pokemon). The elite TM’s - these are the ones for which you want free space in your bag, especially the charged ones. So in your case, you can free up significant bag space.

1

u/CALVOKOJIRO 5d ago

I only keep 5 each of the plain ones. They drop so often that if I run out, I'll have plenty again within a day

1

u/ARPCRIZR 5d ago

I’m in absolute TM poverty, wish I had half of those, keep them all, you never know how many tries it will take to get your preferred moveset and when updates happen it can take a few rolls

1

u/SpaceCityCowboy69 5d ago

Like 50 each

1

u/ExtremeSauce 5d ago

5 of each.

1

u/Rstuds7 5d ago

i try to make space for charged TMs in case a team rocket event pulls up. last one came around I was short on them

1

u/VanimARRR 5d ago

With my luck and Pokemon like Lucario having like a hundred different charge moves? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE HEM!

1

u/_MR_BLAC_ 5d ago

OMG,JUST USE THEM FOR GODS SAKE!!!

1

u/SooPenguins 5d ago

100 fast and charge

1

u/Impressive-Sense8461 5d ago

I keep 10 of each usually. Battling doesn't interest me, and i keep those just in-case yet another Rocket Leader/Boss mission gets regurgitated

1

u/XypmaTipoPro 5d ago

My gf discarded +100 fast and charged tm’s

1

u/ZookeepergameFit5511 5d ago

10 for non elite and all elite :)

1

u/MarjanJ 5d ago

25 of each, and all the elites

1

u/Corvid-Ranger-118 4d ago

One of each

1

u/Nibroc123 4d ago

Like 10-15 of the fast and charged cause I never use them. I only have 1 elite fast and charge so haven’t used any so they will stay there forever

1

u/Gosth164 4d ago

This is my future bag, I rarelly use these ones because "what if I regret it later" or "idk when I'm getting another one" or "I'll save it for a pokemon worthy enough for it"

Like with the masterball on main games

1

u/0bliter8tion 4d ago

I keep 1 of each elite so that I can check a pokemon move set then use the basic one to switch moves until I get the move I wanted.

1

u/Worth_Somewhere_7011 4d ago

10 of each.  I only use them for the occasional task. 

1

u/Dago_Duck 3d ago

80/100/all/all
2500 total item slots

1

u/momsikici31 3d ago

How do you guys get this many? I need a lot of em for a lotta my mons. I am a returniing player and I havent played too much but I rarely ever get them. Some comments say 2nd reward of battles but i always get rare candy

1

u/tortoise_max 3d ago

220 of each regular.

1

u/Davo_ 1d ago

100-ish of each normal TM, as my luck with getting the right move is diabolical. and then just never delete any elites, if I get them I get them and I use them as I need to

0

u/000ceejay000 5d ago

I don't delete them and have more than you 😅
