How to get Elite Fast and Elite Charged TMs in Pokémon Go

There are several items you can unlock and receive as you play through Pokémon Go. A rare one you might have the opportunity to earn every so often are the Elite Fast and Charged TMs that you can use on your Pokémon.

The Fast TM does it for their fast move, and the Charged TM is for their charged attack. The item is elite because it allows you to select what move you want to give a Pokémon, rather than making it a random choice as it is for the standard Fast and Charged TMs. Tracking down these Elite Fast and Charged TMs is complex, and they’re seldom offered. Here’s what you need to know about how to get Elite Fast and Charged TMs in Pokémon Go.

Where to get Elite Fast and Charged TMs in Pokémon Go

The only way sure you can get Elite Fast and Charged TMs is through limited-time events. They can appear in the store for a brief period, typically during Community Days, or they might appear as an end of season Battle League reward. Those who receive these items at the end of a Battle League season have to reach a certain rank. For example, during the Dual Destiny season of Pokémon Go, there’s a Timed Research available to all players to receive both items. You have to get 400 wins to receive an Elite Fast TM, and 500 wins for the Elite Charged TM.

This offer is free of charge, but it requires a high commitment of playing the game nearly every day, and battling against other players. Despite this steep price, the reward is well worth it. Outside of participating in the Battle League, there are other methods to earn it. For those who want to get their hands on these coveted items, keep tracking of these limited-time events are crucial, and regularly playing the mobile game.

What Pokémon should get Elite Fast and Charged TMs in Pokémon Go?
