Where to find the Acrobatics TM in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
To obtain this TM players need to perform some acrobatics of their own. With the majority of its locations on a higher, unobtainable place from attempting to grab this TM at the beginning of the game. For most of its locations, players need to have the Climbing ability unlocked. These are all Acrobatic TM locations on the Paldea map in Scarlet and Violet.
South Province (Area Three)
- This TM is located on top of one of the sand formations in the area. Players need to climb on top of the central formation overlooking the river. Use your Miraidon/Koraidon to climb on top. You will see the TM glow with a yellow beam, this is the only item in the area so will be very easy to spot.
Zapapico
- This TM is located north-west of the eastern city, Zapapico. Once again, players need to climb to the peak of this rock formation. You will find EXP Candy drops here too but keep climbing to the top where the Acrobatics TM can be found on the flat platform at the tip of the formation.
East Province (Area Three)
- This TM is located at the top of a structure made of scaffolding. You should be able to jump to this TM without having the Jump ability unlocked.
West Province (Area One)
- For this TM, you can either start at the top of the cliff or from the bottom where the river is. The easiest is from the top as you do not need the Swimming, Flying or Climbing ability to get to this one. This TM is located on a rocky platform coming out of the cliff side. Simply drop down to grab it.
Casseroya Lake
- The last location of the Acrobatics TM is to the right of Casseroya Lake and underneath Glaseado Mountains. Players must have the Climbing ability unlocked to get this one. Climb the mountain side from the edge of the Lake and you will get to a platform halfway up, the TM is located here on the left-side.
How to Climb
In order to Climb with Koraidon/Miraidon players must beat the fifth and final Titan Boss of the Path of Legend pathway. This Titan is called the False Dragon Titan. This Titan is located on an island in Casseroya Lake, so players are required to have beaten the Open Sky Titan (found in West Paldea, south of Asado Desert). Beating the Open Sky Titan gives our legendary Pokémon the ability to swim. This will get us to the Titan we need to beat to get the Climbing upgrade. Upon defeating this Titan, Dondozo, the Climbing upgrade will be unlocked, making it extremely easy for players to move around the map and get those hard to grab TMs such as Acrobatics.
With this enabled, all TM locations listed above are easily obtainable. If you want to get this TM early in the game, we recommend going for the Acrobatics located in East Province (Area Three), on top of the scaffolding structures. Players should be able to jump up to this TM instead of going out of their way to get the Climbing ability.
