Leveling up your Pokemon is one thing; teaching powerful moves is another. A new item has been introduced in the eighth generation of Pokemon games, which significantly changes the way you battle against other Pokemon trainers in-game.
A TR (Technical Record) is a type of item that contains a powerful Pokemon move. It should not be confused with TM (Technical Machine), which is identical to a TR. Since they are both disc-shaped, TRs can be distinguished from TMs by its darker color.
The only differences between a TR and a TM are the rarity and usage. TMs can be obtained from several NPCs throughout the Galar region or winning battles at the Battle Tower, whereas TRs are obtainable only from Watt Traders and Max Raid Battles. Unlike TMs, TRs can’t be used infinitely and works only once.
If you are looking for specific TRs in Pokemon Sword and Shield, this guide will show you locations of every single one of them in the game.
Where to Find TRs in Pokemon Sword and Shield?
Players can exclusively find TRs in the Wild Area. There are several Watt Traders throughout the Wild Area, who trades random items every day in exchange for the in-game currency Watts. Watt Traders can be easily identified by their black and white outfit, sporting a pair of sunglasses and a cap.
You can also complete Max Raid Battles from Raid Dens to obtain TRs as a reward. However, it is not a guaranteed drop. You may also receive heaps of Watts that you can exchange for TRs from the Watt Traders. The move included in the TR also depends on the type of the Pokemon you fight in a Max Raid Battle.
