Elite Charged TM and Elite Fast TM are special Pokémon GO items that allow you to change a Pokémon’s move by picking the new move that the Pokémon will learn. You can find the list of best Pokémon to use an Elite TM on here: Elite TM Tier List

Unlike regular Fast TMs and Charged TMs, using Elite TMs does not result in a Pokémon learning random move: you choose which one it will get. There are two types of Elite TMs:

  • Elite Fast TM – This Technical Machine lets you choose a Fast Attack to teach to a Pokémon
  • Elite Charge TM – This Technical Machine lets you choose a Charged Attack to teach to a Pokémon

How do Elite TMs work in Pokémon GO?

Pokémon GO’s Elite TMs allow you to choose which move your Pokémon will learn. Normal TMs teach a random move, while Elites let you choose. Additionally, Elite TMs allow you to pick moves that are no longer available in that Pokémon’s move pool (for example Community Day moves).

Elite TMs Normal TMs
You choose the move your Pokémon will learn – it’s not random Pokémon learns a random fast or charge move from its current move pool
You can teach your Pokémon legacy and Community Day exclusive moves You can teach your Pokémon only moves in the current move pool
Obtained by reaching a certain Rank in GO Battle League. They are also included in Community Day special boxes (limited to 1 box per CD) Obtained by participating in GO Battle League matches or Raid battles
Elite TMs are super rare and valuable Regular TMs are valuable, but not that rare

Can you use Elite TM to remove Frustration?

Frustration can only be removed during Rocket Takeover events.

Elite TM’s may not be able to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon, so to obtain these moves you would either need to unlock a 2nd Charged Move or have previously removed Frustration during the available window.

How to get Elite TMs?

Elite TMs can be obtained as the end-of-season rewards after reaching a certain rank in GO Battle League. Or at least until now, because there is no official confirmation that Elite TMs will be included in the rewards at the end of Season 6.

Aside from that, special shop boxes can contain Elite TMs on special occasions (Community Days, for example). You can only buy one per event, though.
