How To Get Struggle Bug (TM015) in Scarlet and Violet

Technical Machines, or TMs, are data discs that can bestow new moves upon your Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. TMs are a quick and easy way to hone your battle strategies, as you don’t need to grind out levels to learn certain moves. Today, we’ll show you how to get Struggle Bug (TM015) in Scarlet & Violet.

Obtaining Struggle Bug (TM015) in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

TM015 teaches the Bug-type special move Struggle Bug, which attacks foes with 50 base power and 100 base accuracy. Struggle Bug also lowers its target’s Sp. Atk stat by one stage.

Before you can craft TM015 at the TM Machine, you’ll need to find it first. There are three places you can find the Struggle Bug TM, and we’ll list them all here.

The first location is northeast from Los Platos, in the South Province. Fly to the Pokémon Center there, and then follow the dirt path north leading to Mesagoza. Hug the east hillside until you get to a ramp that leads up, then follow it back to find the TM015 near a cliff.

A second Struggle Bug TM can be located in the port city of Levincia, located in the East Province. In between the Picnic-Knacks and the Fashion Street stores, there’s a small alley with a mini palm tree. The TM can be found sitting underneath the palm tree.

Once you’ve found TM015 in the wild, you can craft as many copies as you like at the TM Machine. You’ll need the following materials to craft it:

• 400 LP
• Tarountula Thread x 3
