Pineco Husk is a crafting material in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that Trainers can use to make Technical Machines or TMs. More specifically, this resource is a component to craft TM091 (Toxic Spikes), TM104 (Iron Defense), and TM106 (Drill Run). As its name suggests, Pineco Husks are acquired from catching members of the Pineco family, namely Pineco and Forretress. Since Pineco is the base form, Trainers are encouraged to focus on farming the weaker Pinecos than attempting to use Let’s Go for auto-battling Forretresses.

Farming Pineco Husk in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
To get Pineco Husk in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Trainers can farm Pinecos in multiple locations across the world map of Paldea. These zones include Areas One and Two of the East Province, Areas Three and Four of the South Province, Area Three in the West Province, and Tagtree Thicket.

Pinecos tend to spawn on the branches of or at the base of trees in Paldea. Accordingly, searching for trees within well-wooded forests is the best strategy for finding these creatures. The Tagtree Thicket, in particular, is an excellent spot to farm Pineco Husks in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet due to its large number of trees. YouTuber Gamer Guides states that Trainers can use their Mount’s Dash ability to ram trees, causing any Pinecos on the branches to fall onto the forest floor. The Dash ability becomes available once players have defeated Stony Cliff Titan: Klawf at Level 16. If Pinecos are not spawning into their habitat area properly, players can use Picnic Mode to refresh the nearby pocket monster spawns.
Once Trainers have collected enough Pineco Husks, Game8 states that they can craft the following TMs:
