Pokémon Sword and Shield have 100 Technical Records, from TR00 to TR99. Each TR teaches one move and is used up when you teach it. This guide lists every record, its Watt Trader price, and any finite pickup location shown in the game directory. A blank pickup entry does not mean the TR is unobtainable: Watt Traders and Max Raid Battles are the main repeatable sources, and some records can also be made with the Isle of Armor’s Cram-o-matic.
Some locations are in the Isle of Armor or Crown Tundra expansion areas, so access to those places depends on having the relevant expansion content. Prices are in Watts, not Pokédollars.
How to get TRs in Sword and Shield
Technical Records are single-use move-teaching items in Pokémon Sword and Shield; TMs, by contrast, are reusable in these games. You can obtain TRs through Watt Traders, as rewards from Max Raid Battles, and as finite world pickups. The Isle of Armor’s Cram-o-matic is another way to make some records.
Buy from Watt Traders
Watt Traders sell TRs for the Watt prices listed below. Their stock changes, so check the traders available in the Wild Area rather than expecting one particular trader to carry a specific record on a given day. The listed prices range from 1,000 to 8,000 Watts.

- Team up with other Trainers to participate in Max Raid Battles***!

Earn them from Max Raid Battles
Many TRs are available as Max Raid Battle rewards, but raid dens do not all award the same records. For den-specific reward details, consult Serebii’s Max Raid Battle reference.
Pick up fixed-location records
The table identifies finite pickups listed for particular places. Locations in the Isle of Armor or Crown Tundra are expansion-area entries; check that you can access the relevant area in your game. A dash means the directory does not list a finite pickup there, not that the TR has no acquisition route.
Rank #2
- New entries in the main series of Pokémon RPGs arrive on Nintendo Switch simultaneously in late 2019
- The Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games take place in the newly discovered Galar Region
- Galar is an expansive region with diverse environments - an idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forest and craggy, snow-covered mountains
- Fans will have the opportunity to visit Gyms in the Galar region in their quest to become Champion
- Newly discovered partner Pokémon join in this new iteration of the games - Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble
Use the Cram-o-matic
On the Isle of Armor, the Cram-o-matic can produce some TRs from specific item combinations. This is an additional route for some records, not a location; consult the in-game machine and recipe information for combinations.
Complete TR list: moves, Watt prices, and pickups
The finite pickup names and prices below follow the Sword and Shield TM/TR directory. “—” means no finite pickup is listed in that directory.
