[In the foreground, one Cecil Harvey, who is holding a few TMs and staring at them thoughtfully. In the background, one Kayne the dragonite and one Mist the Swablu, apparently arguing. Mist seems to be winning.]

How do you choose which of your Pokémon receive a particular Technical Machine? Normally, I'd simply buy two copies, but those were won from Gym leaders. I doubt they have the means to give each trainer more than one.

[The argument becomes louder and louder with each passing moment. A terrified Ralts climbs on her trainer's shoulder and clings to his hair.]

...As you can see, the potential users are having a slight disagreement. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd be happy to hear it.

Put them in their pokéballs and then randomly pick one! That way it's fair!

Why don't they just make one that can be used more than once?

[Ah, TMs. Riku's faced a similar dilemma before.]

Think it depends on the Pokémon. Who do you think needs it more? Sometimes TM moves help when dealing with weaknesses, or you could teach it to a Pokémon of the same type for an attack boost.

...I... presume both of them can't learn the moves naturally?

... I only really use TMs on the members of my team who I know I'll always be using for important battles.

Seems like a dilemma. [How very astute of you, Kain.]

Without more information, my biased opinion would choose your dragon.

TMs are now able to be used on multiple Pokemon - I bought Return from the Department Store, and have used it on all of my Pokemon, and it hasn't broken yet.
