TM11	Sunny Day The user intensifies the sun for five turns, powering up Fire-type moves. It lowers the power of Water-type moves.	-	-	5

TM32	Double Team By moving rapidly, the user makes illusory copies of itself to raise its evasiveness.	-	-	15
TM35	Flamethrower The target is scorched with an intense blast of fire. This may also leave the target with a burn.	90	100	15
TM38	Fire Blast The target is attacked with an intense blast of all-consuming fire. This may also leave the target with a burn.	110	85	5

TM45	Attract If it is the opposite gender of the user, the target becomes infatuated and less likely to attack.	-	100	15
TM50	Overheat The user attacks the target at full power. The attack's recoil harshly lowers the user's Sp. Atk stat.	130	90	5

TM82	Sleep Talk While it is asleep, the user randomly uses one of the moves it knows.	-	-	10
TM87	Swagger The user enrages and confuses the target. However, this also sharply raises the target's Attack stat.	-	85	15
