How To Get TM49 Echoed Voice in Pokémon ORAS

You can obtain TM49 Echoed Voice by talking to an NPC outside the Flower Shop on Route 104. This route is located between Petalburg City and Rustboro City.

Since this TM can be obtained very early on, you’re better off using Echoed Voice in the early game of your playthrough, where there are fewer options for learnable moves.

Echoed Voice is a damage-dealing Normal-type move that grows stronger with every consecutive turn it’s used. Because the move takes too long to ramp up, this move has no use competitively.

TM49 Echoed Voice Location (Step-by-Step)

Route 104 is a route in western Hoenn. It’s split into two parts, north and south, with Petalburg Woods situated between them.

You can access the route from Petalburg City in the south and Rustboro City in the north.

On Route 104’s north end, a Youngster will give you TM49 Echoed Voice. All you need to do to obtain the TM is talk to him.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to reach the Youngster’s location, starting at Petalburg City’s Pokémon Center.

Step 1: Exit Petalburg City by following the path heading west.

Echoed Voice Move Details + Uses

In-game details for TM49 Echoed Voice

Echoed Voice Move Details
Type	Normal
Category	Special
Power	40
Accuracy	100%
PP	15 (max. 24)

Echoed Voice is a Special Normal-type move that deals damage. Echoed Voice’s base power is increased by 40 for every consecutive turn it’s used, up to a maximum of 200. As long as the move is used, Echoed Voice’s base power is still increased even if the move misses or is blocked by Protect.

The move is bad for multiple reasons:

It takes too many turns to reach a high enough base power to be worth using.
The predictability of using the same move over and over is a severe disadvantage.
Your opponent can switch to a Ghost-type Pokémon to completely shut down your Echoed Voice user.
