To get TM77 Psych Up, you’ll need to visit a Psychic NPC on a small island on Route 133 (west of Pacifidlog Town). To reach the island, you’ll need to use Surf to navigate a series of water currents that start from Route 132.

Prerequisites

The NPC with the TM is on an island on Route 133. This is a water route in southern Hoenn, and it’s part of a trio of consecutive water routes west of Pacifidlog Town (along with Route 132 and Route 134).

You can’t travel east on these routes because the water currents are all heading west.

So getting this TM takes a bit of effort, but there are only a few prerequisites necessary to get TM77:

  • You need access to Pacifidlog Town
  • And you need a Pokémon that can use HM03 Surf

Location

Fly to Pacifidlog Town to get started.

Step 1: From the town’s Pokémon Center, start heading west by walking along the wooden logs.

Step 2: Once you reach the end of the wooden path, start surfing towards the west.

Surf in this direction until you exit Pacifidlog Town.

Step 3: Once you’re on Route 132, continue surfing westward again.

Step 4: When you see a huge section of water currents, head straight up to the north and ride the northernmost water current (highlighted below).

Step 5: Let the current sweep you around, and then once you can move again, continue on the linear path heading west.

Step 6: Keep surfing westward until you see another set of water currents.

At this point you’ll want to take the top-most water current (still heading west). We’ve highlighted the correct water current in the screenshot below.

Step 7: Once this water current drops you off, continue surfing to the west along this narrow path between some rocks.

Step 8: When you reach the end of the path, you’ll see a water current on your left-hand side.

Take this water current, which will take you to a small sandbar where you’ll encounter various trainers.

Step 9: Once you disembark onto the sandbar, turn south and take the bottom water current. This will push you towards the west.

You don’t have to battle any trainers on the sandbar if you don’t want to.

Step 10: You’ll be riding this current from the sandbar for a little bit of time. So you’ll find yourself unable to move for a while.

But soon you’ll arrive at a small island with a Psychic NPC who will give you TM77 for free.

Step 11: After this water current drops you onto a small island, start walking west one last time.
