I think I get what they're going for now with the Technical Machines and Technical Records.

The TMs have useful but not amazing moves - stuff you can use to somewhat fill out a moveset.

Meanwhile, all the old competitive standbys are in TRs, which while unlimited in theory are scarce in practice as they're tied to a time-based currency.

It's an interesting way to encourage participation in Max Raid Battles using the online features, and rewards people that make extensive use of the Wild Area.
lucineblue
right?
lucineblue
I like the idea, it really makes you think about what's worth getting and why
lucineblue
like, I bought ice beam and taught it to my Intellion, becaus it covers a few weaknesses it has
Walker
In Gen 3, Bullet Seed was the first TM you got. Meanwhile, in Galar, I had to defeat the first three gyms before I could get it.
Walker
And yet as soon as I got to the Wild Area, Energy Ball was the first TR I got
lucineblue
energy ball is so good...
Walker
I am extremely consistent in accidentally falling in love with Pokemon that have very poor TM/TR coverage
Walker
I'm not?? Entirely sure?? I have anything that can learn Energy Ball??
Zestium Beam!
I am that asshole who has like
Zestium Beam!
0 pokemon who can learn false swipe
Zestium Beam!
and it makes it horrendous for catching pokemon
Walker
i have to use a corphish for that
lucineblue
where do you get false swipe...
Walker
Mototown, upper Pokecenter shop on the right
lucineblue
thank you...
Un(t)sundered
DrSKirk: same, because apparently nothing native to galar can learn it (I eventually had my ghost relearn night shade, which... it’ll do)
Zestium Beam!
you can get False Swipe suuuuper early in the game too
Zestium Beam!
and you can get Quick Balls super early in the game as well
Zestium Beam!
for like 4300 watts and a visit to one of the Watt Vendors strewn across the initial area, you can buy 99 Quick Balls
Zestium Beam!
and you can exceed that number in this game
Un(t)sundered
Yeah, I’ve got like. 50 quick balls hanging around atm

Thanks to the way EXP gain is handled now, I keep switching my team up and I think I might be a little underleveled right now
Walker
It's actually kind of fun
Zestium Beam!
I'm so afraid of getting overleveled with my trade team so I have a b-team leveling too for my shield game
go тo вread
I'm in a place where I think I'm locked in on the fights and I'm pretty sure I'm underleveled severely.
