Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been around for a few weeks now, and that means players have finally started to learn all the tricks that can help make the game much easier for them.
One way you can make your Pokemon more effective is to stock them up with great moves, which can be learned using the TM system. One of the most powerful new TMs you can get is the Tera Blast, which allows your Pokemon to unleash a powerful attack against your opponents.
Tera types are a new system introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. When activated, they essentially allow your Pokemon to take on a different type (or the same type) and unleash more powerful attacks. It can be really handy for dealing with some of the toughest challenges facing you in the Victory Road storyline, as well as the various Tera Raid events that go on.
How to Get the Tera Blast TM
To get the Tera Blast TM, you're going to need to complete one of two requirements. First, you can get the TM by defeating five gym leaders. This will cause Geeta to reward you with the Tera Blast TM, allowing you to throw it into a Pokemon's moveset at any point.
If you want to unlock another one without crafting it, you can also complete each of the main storylines and then reach the end game where you travel into the Great Crater of Paldea. If you make your way to Research Station 4 (the last station that you need to complete to unlock the lab), you'll be able to find the TM in a nearby cave.
Leave Research Station 4 and then jump down to the area at the bottom of the crater. From here, look for a cave situated next to a crystal jutting out of the wall. Enter the cave and you'll find a Pokeball with the Tera Blast TM waiting in the middle of the room.
Once you've added the Tera Blast TM to your TM Machine, you can craft as many as you want. However, you will need to gather a few important ingredients. First, you're going to need League Points. These can be acquired by taking on Pokemon trainers around the map. The other thing you're going to need is Glimmet Crystals, which are acquired by defeating various Pokemon called Glimmet, which are found throughout the Paldea region.
If you're still needing help, you'll also want to get the Amulet Coin, which allows you to make money easier in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
