TM35 Flamethrower can be found on the ground deep inside Victory Road. You will need to use HM03 Surf and HM04 Strength to access the TM in the cave. And you’ll also need to acquire all 8 gym badges before you can gain access to Victory Road in the first place.

Prerequisites

Before you can pick up this TM you’ll first need to gain access to Ever Grande City, and then solve a Strength puzzle within Victory Road.

You’ll specifically need these HMs to reach TM35:

Bringing Pokémon that also know TM70 Flash and HM05 Waterfall can make traversing the cave a lot easier, but these are not required to reach Flamethrower.

When you’re ready, fly over to Ever Grande City’s Pokémon Center to get started.
