TM53 (Energy Ball) is a Technical Machine in the Pokémon series that allows a Pokémon to learn the move Energy Ball. Energy Ball is a special Grass-type move with 90 base power and 100% accuracy. When used, it has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Special Defense by one stage. The reduction in Special Defense decreases the target's ability to resist subsequent special attacks, making Energy Ball a potent choice for special attackers to break through bulky opponents.
In terms of availability, TM53 appears in various Pokémon games, often obtainable through different means such as in-game events, purchases from certain stores, or being found in specific locations. For example, in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, TM53 can be found on Route 226. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, it can be bought from the Watt Traders in the Wild Area.
