To obtain TM79 Frost Breath, you need to climb up a muddy slope in Shoal Cave during low tide. Shoal Cave is located north of Mossdeep City on Route 125, so you’ll need a Mach Bike and a Pokémon that knows HM03 Surf to acquire the TM.
Prerequisites
Shoal Cave features a high tide and low tide mechanic, which means that specific areas can only be reached during a particular time of day. You need to visit during low tide to reach the Frost Breath TM.
Here’s a table listing the time windows when Shoal Cave is at low tide or high tide:
| Low Tide | High Tide |
|---|---|
| 3:00 – 8:59 (3:00 AM – 8:59 AM) | 9:00 – 14:59 (9:00 AM – 2:59 PM) |
| 15:00 – 20:59 (3:00 PM – 8:59 PM) | 21:00 – 2:59 (9:00 PM – 2:59 AM) |
Here are all the prerequisites you’ll need before heading over to Shoal Cave:
- Have access to Mossdeep City
- Bring a Pokémon that knows HM03 Surf
- Bring the Mach Bike
- Time your visit during Low Tide (adjust your 3DS or emulator’s time if needed)
Location
When you’re ready, go to Mossdeep City’s Pokémon Center to get started.
Step 1: To reach Shoal Cave, head south from Mossdeep City’s Pokecenter towards the shore.
Follow the path down until you reach a set of stairs leading down to the beach.
Step 2: From there, begin traveling north along the shoreline, staying close to the water’s edge.
Step 3: When you reach the very northern end of the beach, use Surf to travel east across the water.
Step 4: Continue surfing east and then turn north to move up towards Route 125. Keep going north until you see the entrance to Shoal Cave.
Step 5: When you’ve reached Shoal Cave’s entrance, disembark and enter the cave.
Step 6: If you’ve arrived during low tide, the water inside the cave will be dried up.
From the entrance, go down the stairs in front of you and begin heading north through the cave.
Step 7: Eventually you’ll come to a cave entrance on the north wall of the cave. Enter it to head deeper inside Shoal Cave.
Step 8: In the next room, you’ll see another cave entrance on your left (directly to the left of the staircase). Go through this entrance too.
Step 9: After you enter the next room, continue heading north until you come across a muddy slope on your right-hand side.
Use your Mach Bike to climb up the slope.
Step 10: Once you’ve reached the top of the slope, you’ll find the TM for Frost Breath waiting for you on the ground.
