Summary

TM89 is a Technical Machine in the Pokémon series of games, used to teach the move U-turn to a compatible Pokémon. U-turn is a Bug-type physical move with a power of 70 and an accuracy of 100%. Upon using U-turn, the user deals damage and then immediately switches out to another Pokémon in the player’s party. This makes it a strategic move, allowing players to deal damage while also pivoting to another Pokémon, thus maintaining momentum in battle.

U-turn is particularly useful in competitive play for its utility. It allows players to maintain offensive pressure while also offering a way to escape from unfavorable matchups or to bring in counters safely. This dual functionality makes TM89 highly valuable in both singles and doubles formats.

TM89 can often be found in various locations across different Pokémon games, sometimes as a purchasable item or a hidden find within the game's overworld. Trainers frequently seek out TM89 to teach U-turn to fast and versatile Pokémon such as Scizor
