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 Taunt, we have all the possible locations to find the TM recipe, including a list of resources you’ll need.
Taunt TM087 Location – How to get it
You can find Taunt TM in Casseroya Lake, South Province (Area One). It is a reward for defeating Team Star Boss Eri. Once you have this move, you will be able to teach the Taunt to your Pokemon, which has the effect of: “The target is taunted into a rage that allows it to use only attack moves for three turns.” As many TMs are found in the world of Paldea, be on the lookout for Yellow Poke Balls!
Here are the stats for Taunt:
| Type | Category | PP | Power | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dark | Status | 20 | 100 |

Taunt TM Recipe – How to make it
To craft Taunt, you will need the following resources: 3000 LP, 3x Meowth Fur, 3x Sableye Gem and 3x Sneasel Claw. 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.
| Required Resource | Location |
|---|---|
| 3000 LP | Trade in unused materials w/TM Machine, defeat Sparkling Pokemon, interact with Tera Raid Dens |
| 3x Meowth Fur | Drops from Meowth and Persian (map) |
| 3x Sableye Gem | Drops from Sableye (map) |
| 3x Sneasel Claw | Drops from Sneasal and Weavile (map) |
