TM10 can be found inside of the Rocket Hideout in the Celadon City Game Corner. The TM is on the 3rd basement floor just south of a staircase and a Rocket NPC.

You can get TM10 at any point after gaining access to the Rocket Hideout.

Prerequisites

This is what you need to do before you can get TM10:

  1. Defeat the Rocket guarding the poster at the Celadon Game Corner and push the switch behind the poster.

Getting TM10 Double-Edge

Once you’re inside the Rocket Hideout, head down the stairs right next to you.

Now on the 3rd basement floor, head south until you see a Pokéball on the ground.

There’s another Rocket just south of the stairs, and he can’t be avoided and must be defeated in order to reach TM10. His party is just two Machops at level 21.

Double-Edge Details + Uses

Double-Edge Move Details
Type Normal
Power 100
Accuracy 100%
PP 15 (max. 24)
Effect The user takes a ¼ of the damage inflicted to the opposing Pokémon as recoil damage.

At 100 base power, Double-Edge is one of the strongest Normal type moves in the game.

The move’s biggest downside is the recoil damage you’ll take from using it.

Specifically, the user takes a ¼ of the damage inflicted as recoil damage.

With this in mind, Snorlax is one of the best Pokémon to teach Double-Edge to.

It has a high attack stat, its Normal typing will give the move a same type attack bonus (STAB), and its high HP stat will help minimize the effects of the recoil damage.
