In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, while you’re working through the main story and collecting all the Pokemon you can, you’ll come across Technical Machines, which allows players to learn recipes to teach their Pokemon new moves. It can get overwhelming trying to remember where resources and recipes are, though. If you need to know how to get Rock Slide, we have all the possible locations to find the TM recipe, including a list of resources you’ll need.
Rock Slide TM086 Location – How to get it
You can find Rock Slide TM in East Province (Area Three), North Province (Area Two). It is a reward for defeating Team Star Boss Atticus. Once you have this move, you will be able to teach the Rock Slide to your Pokemon, which has the effect of: “Large boulders are hurled at opposing Pokémon to inflict damage. This may also make the opposing Pokémon flinch.” As many TMs are found in the world of Paldea, be on the lookout for Yellow Poke Balls!
Here are the stats for Rock Slide:
| Type | Category | PP | Power | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rock | Physical | 10 | 75 | 90 |

Rock Slide TM Recipe – How to make it
To craft Rock Slide, you will need the following resources: 5000 LP, 3x Nacli Salt, 3x Rockruff Rock and 3x Bonsly Tears. Once you have the recipe, you’ll be able to craft the recipe at any Pokemon Center’s TM Machine as long as you have the required resources to do so.
Tip: If you need more League Points (LP), remember that you can trade in materials you won’t be using to the TM Machine in exchange for LP. You can also receive LP for interacting with Tera Raid Dens (they look like large, sparkling crystals). Sparkling Pokemon will give you LP when defeated or caught.
