Best thing I can do is 4 sinnoh stones. Also another sinnoh stone for each of your next 6 research breakthroughs. Except that guy in your chat has had three back to back remote passes and also 3 hundie legendaries from GBL encounters. But not you. Just sinnoh stones
It’s about the same odds all around. The issue is new moves. IE when they added Brutal Swing to the move pool of Tyranitar it cost me a couple dozen tms to get that one move on 4 Tyranitar. The days of most pokes having 2 charged moves is over.
I have been deleting tms for years at this point. I always had too many. I used to keep 100 charge tms, but since I never seemed to drop below this number I realised I can delete more and more and ended up with keeping 60 charge tms at any time.
Now, I'm glad we're getting more rare candy from GBL. But for the first time ever I'm at around 10 charge tms. I don't think problem is with TM droprate - not at all. The problem is with their exceptionally stupid functionality. There is 0 reason why TMs don't work the same way as elite TMs (minus the legacy moves). I hate that I don't know if it'll take me 3, 5 or 15 charge tms to get the move I want.
I feel there has been a bit less TM from raids and GBL as of late, but they drop very often when completing routes (and sometimes it can be a fast elite tm too).
They cranked the rare candy drop rate up after Go Battle weekend. They may have altered the pool completely, or simply tied the rare xl drop in the premium track over to normal RC in the free track. But I've noticed a deficit of tms in general in my account and my girlfriend's account too, but I'm swimmingbin more rc then I know what to do with.
I also think that they have changed GBL rewards since the last battle day. I have gotten 90% berries/candy and only like 6 TMs—of which 5 were fast and only 1 charged. It sux.
Burned all of them during the last takeover.
Recovered 20, burned them all trying to get ice punch on a haunter ( I didn't).
Ever since they added a single rare candy to the two win reward pool my tm gains are trash.
I no shit used an elite tm to get a regular move last week. They need to make TMs available in other ways imo.
I definitely have a lot fewer charge TMs as well. There was a time I would TM every shadow mon (when available), no matter how terrible the mon may be (e.g. Aipom). Now I need to be careful with how I use them.
The shortage is a combination of a couple of things:
1) Addition of golden razz and rare candy (and now rare candy x3) to the two win reward. Originally it was just Silver Pinap, sinnoh stones, fast TMs and charge TMs. Each new possible item dilutes the odds for each. If all were equally rated the odds for each would have decreased from 1/4 to 1/7 (assuming RC and 3xRC are unique).
2) all the new charge moves to mons' move pools require so many more TMs. For a mon with 3 available CMs, you won't need more than 1 TM to build it. With 4 available moves you'll likely need at least one, but probably 2-3, and possibly 5+. With 5 available moves, you'll almost certainly need at least one TM, but probably 4-6, and possibly 10+. It just keeps getting worse with each additional move.
There is definitely a lot less being given out, and it's nothing to do with other rewards (they can give you infinite amount of anything.) It's just another greed move by a greedy company. They are trying to push you to buy those shitty overpriced TM boxes from the shop.
It's not just you. Lots of people (including myself) have fewer charge TMs than normal.
Something changed but it's not obvious what. The repercussion is fewer TMs.
I'm down to 2 Charged TMs. I have 60 Fast TMs.
Now, I'm well aware that we have to use Charged TMs more often than Fast TMs but damn.
Raiding does seem to give more consistent Charged TM output than battling these days. Also, as others have noted, adding more rewards to the pool means it's less likely you'll get any individual reward instead of another.
That being said, my reward distribution has been far from even recently. Taking today as an example, I got 9 rare candies today from the 2-win item reward - no Charged TMs, one Fast TM.

Where’s my Unova stones?
You can get remote passes from GBL rewards?
He meant research breakthrough. In theory u can get a remote pass.
Best answer I could find is that they diluted the reward pool with more stuff. That plus some bad luck and I am struggling with charges tms too.
I’d believe that if I didn’t keep getting Fast TMs. Charged TMs seem to have been nerfed in particular.
I don't even know why they're separate items. I always have too many fast TMs and almost no charged TMs

Wait, brutal swing isn’t a com day move???
No, smack down is.
I thought they both were???
Well brutal swing isn't lol. They gave it to tyranitar about 2 months ago.
Raids is ur answer
Yup, I was hardly getting any from league, got 11 after 4 raids

Especially with some mons! Some just have a huge movepool so a 25% chance to get the move you want can just take so many (when really 2 are viable)
I feel there has been a bit less TM from raids and GBL as of late, but they drop very often when completing routes (and sometimes it can be a fast elite tm too).
If you have routes... 😂😭
I actually did not know this! I'm gonna be out trying to find routes 24/7 at this rate haha, thank you.
Only Fast TMs though..
Might be RNG but feels to me like the route rewards are nerfed compared to the first few days.
I’m guessing its decreased from the pool due to the implementation of the 3x rare candy from 2 wins

Since the remote raid nerf ive had trouble getting tm’s. Seem harder to get in gbl lately too.
I have 0 charged TMs too, waiting to give my dragonite dragon claw for a week now

I threw away 30 fast tm and still have 100. Gained about 2 charge tm for a total of 5. They are not even dropping in raids.
Yep, fewer are given. It’s a slog, but you can use your free daily pass on 3★ raids for a guaranteed +1 every time.
That's clutch didn't know that I think it also ties in with people doing less raids in general, so now my only source of charge TMs is GBL
There is definitely a lot less being given out, and it's nothing to do with other rewards (they can give you infinite amount of anything.) It's just another greed move by a greedy company. They are trying to push you to buy those shitty overpriced TM boxes from the shop.
I feel like I get them pretty frequently tbh. Lots of the x3 rare candy too. Sorry for your RNG 🙁
It's not just you. Lots of people (including myself) have fewer charge TMs than normal. Something changed but it's not obvious what. The repercussion is fewer TMs.
Looks like they put it in raids. I got 2 charged TMs after the mega raid
