Catching Pokémon is my favorite activity in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and with the addition of Kitakami and new areas in the Teal Mask DLC, there are even more Pokémon for me to catch. However, catching some Pokémon requires careful attacks. Because of this, I like to carry a Pokémon that knows False Swipe, especially in areas with high levels. This may leave you wondering what Pokémon learn False Swipe in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
What Pokémon learn False Swipe in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Many Pokémon can learn False Swipe, either by leveling up naturally or using the TM 57 for False Swipe. This TM can be acquired from Jacq in the Academy's Biology Lab. You must first have registered 30 Pokémon in your Pokédex to receive these.
With the addition of new Pokémon through the Teal Mask DLC, more Pokémon than ever can learn False Swipe. Here are all Pokémon that can learn False Swipe in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the Teal Mask DLC through leveling up or by TM.
