What are Elite Fast TMs in Pokemon Go?
Elite Fast TM are rare consumables used on any Pokemon to upgrade their Fast Move to their most powerful attack.
Because they allow trainers to give a certain Pokemon their strongest moves – which are usually locked – Elite Fast TMs are considered important items.
What is the difference between Fast TM and Elite Fast TM?
The primary difference between a Fast TM and an Elite Fast TM is that the Elite option allows players to select the desired move from the list of available options for a Pokemon.

Regular Fast TMs will randomly apply a Fast Move from the target’s available move pool, meaning players may need to use several to get the desired option for their lineup.
How to get Elite Fast TMs in Pokemon Go
As with the Elite Charged TMs, Elite Fast TMs can only be acquired through the Battle League, where they are offered as rewards. Based on how many matches a player has entered and where they end up at the end of each season, they will be given a number of these Elite TMs.
Sometimes, players can purchase them from the box during Community Days, or get them after completing Timed or Special Research Tasks, so keep an eye out during events.
How rare are Elite Fast TMs?
Because there is only one way to obtain Elite Fast TMs, they are considered exceptionally rare items. They also take quite a lot of work to earn, and not every player will want to grind the Go Battle League to obtain them.
