What are TMs?
TMs stand for technical machines, which are a set of tools used within Pokemon to teach specific moves to a given Pokemon that they otherwise do not learn naturally via level up. In doing so, you gain access to a whole new range of ways to battle with your chosen partner, whether that be gaining access to a strong attack, getting type coverage sorted, or even some sneaky status moves.
Obtaining TMs
There are two primary ways for a player to get new TMs, however both require some level of work from the player to get a hold of exactly what they are looking for.
TM Machine
This device is a new addition alongside the introduction of TMs. This serves as a utility block that allows you to burn a chosen move onto a blank disc, turning it into a functional TM.
Upon opening the machine, you will be presented with all the different move typings. From here you may make a selection for the type of move you'd like to burn, and then later select the specific move itself. After submitting both the blank disc, and the required materials for your chosen move, you may begin the burning process, and after a few short seconds be granted the TM!
The materials required will always include the elemental gems, but may require additional resources depending on the chosen move.

Exploration
Alternatively, players can explore naturally generated structures within the servers wilderness for a chance to find completed TMs inside of Gimmighoul Chests. These chests only spawn within structures categorised as ruins from the Cobblemon mod.
There exists a wide range of Ruins available from the mod, all of which are documented on the official Cobblemon Wiki. That being said, there are no tricks on locating them quicker, so one can only suggest you explore the old fashioned way and look around your surroundings until something peaks your interest.
Unlocking TMs
New TM recipes for use within the TM Machine can be obtained via one of two methods.
The primary method will be through capturing wild Pokemon. Each time you capture a Pokemon which knows a move that has a TM, you can unlock the entry for personal use to recreate in the future.
Alternatively if you have the physical copy of a TM you don't yet have the recipe for, you can right click a Data Monitor whilst holding it to unlock it. This allows players to share TMs with one another.
Using TMs
Much like any other consumable item, all you need to do is right click your chosen Pokemon with the TM to unlock it within their remembered moves, allowing you to add it to their moveset at any time from the summary menu.
