Pokemon GO Elite Fast TM Best Use In-Game
By Jack O'Dwyer
Pokemon GO Elite Fast TM best use varies based on the Pokemon the move is applied to and the individual trainer's strategy.
Once trainers hit rank 7 in the Pokemon GO Battle League, they'll be rewarded with an Elite TM at the end of the competitive season. These TMs have the unique ability to allow trainers to pick and give any learnable move to a certain Pokemon of their choice. Unsurprisingly, this is an item trainers have been asking for since the game's release—as grinding stardust just to re-roll that Bulldoze on your Arcanine gets tiresome after a while.
Elite TMs not only allow players to pick common moves but also moves that were previously exclusive to Community Day events.

Pokemon GO Elite Fast TM Best Use
Currently, the best Fast TM moves are those that were previously "legacy" moves. These include:
- Wing Attack
- Bug Bite
- Lick
- Mud Shot
- Ice Shard
- Icy Wind
- Water Gun
- Thundershock
- Razor Leaf
- Shadow Ball
It's not hard to figure out which moves should correspond to which Pokemon. Most trainers will likely default to a move that fits their chosen Pokemon's type. For example, grass-types such as Venasuar, Meganium, and Sceptile would likely benefit from Razor Leaf while flying-types like Charizard should take Wing Attack.
Some of the best combinations are:
- Charizard + Wing Attack
- Dewgong + Icy Wind/Ice Shard
- Zapdos + Thundershock
- Groudon + Mud Shot
- Mewtwo/Mew + Shadow Ball
