Summary

TM70 (Flash) is a Technical Machine (TM) in the Pokémon series. Flash is primarily used to decrease the accuracy of the opponent's Pokémon by one stage, making their moves more likely to miss. This can strategically hinder opponents in battles, giving the user a tactical advantage.

In the main series games, Flash has had various iterations and uses. Originally, it was an HM (Hidden Machine) in the earlier generations, specifically from Generation I to Generation III. As an HM, it was required to light up dark caves and certain other areas, making it essential for progressing through the game. In later generations, it was changed to a TM, reflecting its shift from a mandatory navigational tool to a purely battle-focused move.

Additionally, Flash has utility outside of battles in certain games. When used in dark areas, it illuminates the surroundings, although this feature has been mostly phased out in favor of other methods of navigation.
