PP 20
Type Bug

TM89 U-Turn can be found on an apartment balcony on the east side of Mauville Hills. This is the apartment complex situated on the second floor of Mauville City.

However, you can only access the elevator to reach Mauville Hills after Wattson’s sidequest related to New Mauville. This only becomes available after you’ve defeated/captured Kyogre or Groudon.

Location

Once you’re ready, fly to Mauville City’s Pokémon Center to get started.

If you need to start Wattson’s New Mauville side-quest, then you’ll find Wattson waiting for you in front of Square Tower in Mauville City’s central plaza.

Step 1: If you haven’t started the side-quest then make your way to Square Tower and speak with Wattson to initiate a brief cutscene.

If you’ve already completed Wattson’s side-quest then skip to step 2.

Note: You do not need to finish the side-quest to gain access to the apartment balcony with the TM. You just need to at least speak with Wattson to start the side-quest. But if you’ve already completed the quest then that’s fine too.

Step 2: Once the cutscene ends, make your way back inside the city via the entrance next to the Poké Center.
