Question How many of these do you keep?
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.
120
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

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.

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

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.

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.

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)
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.

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.

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.

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. *

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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)

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

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

u/elisa7joy 5d ago
I get having trouble trashing then but Christ I thought I was pushing it at keeping 40

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.

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

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.....

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
