Egg Bomb is a decent attack that can only be taught to a very small pool of Pokémon. Specifically only these:

  • Exeggcute
  • Exeggutor
  • Chansey
  • Mew

Since Chansey and Exeggcute have a low attack stat, the move is most effective when taught to an Exeggutor. (and also technically Mew, but since Mew can learn any TM in the game, there are better moves you can teach it.)

If you have an Exeggutor on your team, then Egg Bomb is a pretty good move to teach it. Otherwise it’s better to just sell this TM for cash.
