TM65 Shadow Claw can be found underground in Granite Cave. But you’ll need the Mach Bike to access the underground levels of the cave, so you won’t be able to get this TM when you first visit Granite Cave.

When you return to get the Shadow Claw TM it’s also worth bringing a Pokémon with TM70 Flash to make it easier to traverse the cave, although this is not mandatory.

Prerequisites

Mach Bike
TM70 Flash (optional)

Tip: You can even bring along a Pokémon that knows Dig, or bring an Escape Rope with you, that way you can exit the cave immediately after getting your TM.

Location

Once you have everything you need then follow the tutorial below to reach the TM. We’re starting at Dewford Town’s Pokémon Center.

Step 1: Start by heading north from the Pokémon Center to reach Route 106.

Step 2: Keep moving north past the houses until you exit Dewford Town.

Step 3: Once you’ve reached Route 106, follow the path heading left.

Step 4: Then head inside Granite Cave’s entrance.

Step 5: Once you’re inside Granite Cave, continue along the path heading west.

Step 6: If you haven’t obtained it yet, talk to the nearby Hiker to obtain TM70 Flash. This will help you explore the underground floors of the cave by illuminating the area.

Step 7: Then take out your Mach Bike and ride it up the muddy slope next to the Hiker NPC.

Step 8: Once you reach the top area here, head eastward and climb down the ladder to enter the underground floor of Granite Cave.

Step 9: If you have a Flash user in your party, now is the time to use TM70 Flash to light up the cave.

But with or without Flash, you’ll want to start heading north in this area.

Step 10: Then use your Mach Bike again to ride up the slope directly in front of you.

Step 11: Once you reach the top of the first slope, you’ll find another slope on your right-hand side.

Go up that slope too, and then follow the path heading east.

Step 12: Follow this path all the way to the east. Then at the end of the path you’ll see another slope.

Slide down this slope going left to proceed.

Step 13: Once you’re down the slope, turn and go south to find a ladder. Climb down the ladder to reach the deepest level of Granite Cave.

Step 14: When you reach the bottom of the ladder, briefly head north, then immediately turn left and follow that direction.

Step 15: From there, continue heading west past the Ruin Maniac.

Step 16: When you go as far west as you can here, head up the small steps. Then walk along the path to the north until you reach another set of steps.

Step 17: This next set of steps should have a right-hand side and a left-hand side.

Go up the steps to the left to pick up TM65 Shadow Claw.
