Tm03

tm03 Sprite

Summary

Tm03 is a technical machine (TM) item introduced in the Pokémon series, which allows a Pokémon to learn the move "Water Pulse." This move is a Water-type special attack that has a base power of 60 and an accuracy of 100%. One of the notable effects of Water Pulse is its 20% chance to confuse the target, adding a strategic element to its use in battles.

In different generations of the Pokémon games, Tm03 has taught various moves: - In Generation 1, Tm03 taught "Swords Dance," a Normal-type status move that sharply raises the user's Attack stat. - From Generation 2 to Generation 4, Tm03 was associated with the move "Curse," a unique move with different effects depending on the type of the user. - Starting from Generation 5 onwards, Tm03 consistently teaches "Psyshock," a Psychic-type move that deals damage based on the target's Defense instead of Special Defense.
