Tm16
Summary
TM16 is an item in the Pokémon series known as a Technical Machine, which allows Pokémon to learn specific moves that they might not learn through leveling up or breeding. The TM16 has been associated with different moves across various generations of Pokémon games:
- Thunder Wave (Generations I to VI and VIII to IX):
