Not to be confused with Trick Room, Trick is a Psychic-type Status Move in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that causes the user to switch Held Items with its opponent. This Move can be useful if Trainers attempt to farm or acquire a specific item for certain pocket monsters. For instance, casting Trick could be easy to take Leader's Crest from a Wild Bisharp, thanks to its 100 Accuracy. For those unfamiliar, Leader's Crest is a Held Item essential for Bisharp's evolution into Kingambit. However, the main disadvantage of Trick is that it can be used in Wild Battles but is ineffective in Trainer Battles. Naturally, this includes PvP.
The recipe for the Trick TM in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can be acquired from three locations in Paldea. The first and most straightforward source of this TM's recipe is defeating Team Star's Fighting Crew in Area Two of the North Province.
The Trick TM is not handed to players as a specific reward but is instead included in the extensive list of TM recipes unlocked after the battle with Eri has concluded in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Where To Find The Trick TM in Scarlet and Violet
The second location for the Trick TM in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is a tall cliff with a windmill in West Province (Area One). According to YouTuber GameLoc, Trainers can start their journey to find this TM at West Province (Area One) - Central Pokécenter. Next, they must travel southward and take the path northward on the main road. Before reaching Picnic Boy Scarlet & Violet NPC near the river, Trainers must turn left and follow the narrow sloping ridge into a hidden tunnel. This tunnel will go through the mountain and lead to a curving path that winds to the windmill where the Trick TM is located.
Based on findings by Game8, a third copy of the Trick TM can be discovered atop the roof of the house that sits on the northwestern side of Cascarrafa. For reference, this location is next to the city's west Delibird Presents Branch. After players have acquired at least one copy of the Trick TM in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, they can craft the recipe using the following materials:
