A Technical Record (Japanese: わざレコードMove Record), or TR for short, is a type of item introduced in Generation VIII that can be used to teach a Pokémon a move. They are single-use items that are consumed after use, and once a TR is used to teach a Pokémon a move, that move can later be relearned from the Move Reminder for free if forgotten. This makes them functionally similar to TMs in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and every Pokémon game prior to Generation V.
The ordering of TRs tends to follow the order of introduction of the moves contained in them. However, TR25 (Psyshock) is listed between TRs that contain moves introduced in Generation II, despite Psyshock being introduced in Generation V.
Fling can be used if the user is holding a TR. Its power is equal to the listed power of the contained move, defaulting to 10 if the move does not have a listed power.
Although most Pokémon are able to learn a wide range of TR moves, there are 11 Pokémon who cannot learn any moves from them that are not available to them through other means. Typically, these Pokémon are low in their evolutionary line or rely on a specific set of moves.
