How to craft TM 017 Confuse Ray in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet feature a series of items found in every single mainline Pokémon game: Technical Machines. These items allow your Pokémon to learn moves they don’t usually learn while leveling up, giving them extra strength, type coverage, or utility in a fight. Technical Machines are bountiful, and there are over 150 Technical Machines in the game. However, they can only be used one time each. With over 400 Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you’ll run out of Technical Machines quickly.

As you progress throughout the game, clearing gym battles, beating Team Star bases, and exploring the open world, your library of Technical Machines will expand. But you don’t have to worry about using these Technical Machines, as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet give you the option to craft new copies of a given Technical Machine at the Technical Machine Machine, found at every Pokémon Center.
