Want to know how to get TM 061 Shadow Claw in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? With Power 70 and Accuracy 100, Shadow Claw is a great pick against a single Psychic or Ghost-type opponent. But the main power of this TM is the additional effect that increases the user’s Critical Hit by 1 point. Although, this move has the downside of being useless against Normal-type Pokémon. Pokémon like Sableye or Mimikyu can get this skill by leveling up, but everyone else needs TM. But our guide is here to help you and tell you how to get TM 061 Shadow Claw in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

However, you have nothing to worry about, as there are four places on the map with Shadow Claw TM:

To find the final Shadow Claw TM, visit the Pokemon Center in the swamp area of North Province (Area One). Climb the mountains on the north side of the Pokemon Center and head southwest. Once you reach the place on the fourth image above, you will pick up the fourth TM.
