Summary

Tr20 is a Technical Record (TR) item in the Pokémon series, specifically introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield. TR20 teaches the move "Substitute" to a Pokémon. The move "Substitute" allows a Pokémon to create a decoy by sacrificing 25% of its maximum HP. This decoy absorbs damage and status effects meant for the user, offering a layer of strategic defense in battles.

The TR item itself, unlike Technical Machines (TMs), is a single-use item, meaning it is consumed after one application. This design choice emphasizes the importance of deciding carefully which Pokémon will benefit most from learning "Substitute." Due to its disposable nature, players often seek multiple copies of TR20, which can be obtained through Max Raid Battles or other in-game events.

"Substitute" as a move is widely recognized for its versatility in competitive play. It can be utilized to set up subsequent moves without interference, protect against status conditions like poison or paralysis, and stall
