TM41 Torment is located on the ground at the construction site on Route 4. You can access the construction site via two cities – Castelia City and Nimbasa City.
The path to get to TM41 Torment is hidden away from the main road, and can be found in the southwest corner of Route 4.
You’ll also notice that the construction site is crawling with trainers, so come prepared.
TM41 Torment Location (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Starting at the Nimbasa City Pokémon Center, head east across the city.
Step 2: Keep walking east & pass the Battle Subway.
Step 3: At the far east end of the city, exit by going south through the green tunnel.
Step 4: This tunnel’s exit leads to Route 4. From here, keep heading south.
Step 5: Keep south on Route 4, passing the hiking trainer.
Step 6: Above Route 4 is an overpass.
Keep south going under the overpass and then walk past the orange construction cones onto the sand.
Step 7: Keep trekking south through the sand, passing the hiking trainers on either side.
Step 8: The sand eventually leads to another road. Follow the road continuing south.
Step 9: Continue south on the road, passing the Trainer Tips sign on the right.
Step 10: Just before reaching the green tunnel at the southern end, turn west and walk through the small sandy passage alongside the fence.
Step 11: When the sand opens up a bit more, turn and head north through the sand.
You’ll pass by some traffic cones lined up along the left-hand side.
Step 12: Keep walking north past the stairs and traffic cones.

Step 15: From the bottom of the stairs, turn and head north past the steel bars.
Step 16: At the very end of the path, turn left to head up the small staircase.
Step 17: TM41 Torment will be on the ground at the top of these stairs.

Torment is a Dark-type Status move that’s fairly popular in competitive play. The attack is mostly used as a counter against players that use Choice items.
Choice items, when held by a Pokémon, provide the user with a stat boost that varies depending on the item. But each Choice item also forces the holder to remain locked-into using only one move in the battle.
Because Torment prevents two consecutive uses of the same move, any target holding a Choice item is forced to alternate between their one move and Struggle.
This throws a serious wrench in the strategy of Choice item players.
The downside to Torment is that its effect doesn’t follow its target. Once the affected Pokémon is switched out of battle, it is no longer subjected to Torment.
That being said, forcing your opponent to switch in the middle of battle will almost always give you a free turn.
Is Torment Worth Using?
In competitive play it can definitely be worth using.
But for a typical single-player game of Black or White, the move won’t have too many situations where it would really be useful.
The move can be useful against some NPCs who have Pokémon that might spam overly-aggressive moves (even without a Choice item). But it’s still a fairly specific use case that likely won’t make or break your team in a playthrough.
