TM23 Smack Down

TM23 Smack Down will be given to you by Professor Cozmo after you defeat Team Aqua/Magma the first time you arrive in Meteor Falls, which is a large cave west of Fallarbor Town.

Prerequisites

When you first get to Meteor Falls, you’ll encounter Team Aqua/Magma trying to steal a meteorite from Professor Cozmo. With the help of your Rival, you’ll defeat Team Aqua/Magma in a double battle, which then eventually leads to escorting Professor Cozmo back to his house in Fallarbor Town, and he’ll give you the TM for Smack Down.

But before you can head to Meteor Falls, you should already have these two other things completed:

• Obtained the fifth Gym badge from Wattson, Mauville City’s Gym Leader
• Explored Fallarbor Town and Route 114, the location of Meteor Falls’ entrance

TM23 Smack Down Location (Step-by-Step)

If you haven’t been to Meteor Falls yet, start by heading to Fallarbor Town’s Pokémon Center:

Step 1: Outside the Pokémon Center, follow the path on the left.

Step 2: Continue heading west along Route 114.

Step 3: Then once you reach an NPC all the way to the west, you should follow the path heading south.

Step 4: Head past the bridge and continue heading south through the tall grass.

Step 5: Turn left and go up the nearby stairs – these appear directly after a pair of trainers.

Step 6: Wrap around the stairs and then head south, eventually following this path going east.

Step 7: Go up the short staircase, then start heading south past the trainer.

Step 8: Head up another staircase on your left, then cross the giant crater going west.

Step 9: The entrance to Meteor Falls should be up ahead past a hiker.

Step 10: Inside the cave, prepare to battle Team Aqua/Magma with the help of your Rival.

Step 11: You’ll eventually end up in Professor Cozmo’s house. And as a reward for rescuing him, he’ll reward you with TM23 Smack Down.
