How to Get TM 061 Shadow Claw in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

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.

Where to Find TM 061 Shadow Claw in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

First of all, it’s worth noting that, like most other TMs, you can get TM 061 Shadow Claw in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in two ways:

• Find in the Paldea region.
• Craft on TM Machine.

If you’ve progressed far enough in the story and defeated Team Star Poison Crew, you already have the recipe for this TM and can start crafting. But if you haven’t reached this story marker yet, you must find at least one TM 061 Shadow Claw to get the recipe. However, you have nothing to worry about, as there are four places on the map with Shadow Claw TM:

• The first place you should visit is West Province (Area One). Take the local Pokemon Center as your starting point and head southwest along the path. A little before reaching the river, turn right and go northwest. You will receive your first Shadow Claw TM on a cliff, as in the first image above.
• Second place with TM 061 Shadow Claw is in the southwestern part of Glaseado Mountain. Take the southern Pokemon Center as your starting point and head west. After reaching the location edge, climb up the hill and get to the place in the second image above. Here you will pick up the second TM.
• To get to the third TM 061 Shadow Claw, visit Tagtree Thicket and take the north side of the river as your starting point. Get to the northeast part of the forest and pick up the TM in the grass near the stone.
• 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.
