Altoram Dept. Store

Just outside the busy streets of ASB Central (and its regional border) lies a building the likes of which cannot be found anywhere outside a League-controlled region. Inside its doors you will find shelves upon shelves of... absolutely nothing. The rows are never stocked. However, customers never come for what's on the shelves, they come for what's behind the padlocked, sliding (bulletproof) glass cases: discontinued TMs.

You see, every time the Pokémon League decides that a certain TM has been around long enough, Pokémarts everywhere just ship them to storage houses in Orre or similar places. Altoram Dept. Store does not.

You see, since it's outside any League-controlled region, the Altoram Dept. Store cannot suffer any of the repercussions of selling discontinued TMs. The TMs are still quite old, however, and so they wouldn't function quite the same as one of the more recent TMs. For example, a Pokémon who is taught more than one TM move bought here can suffer from severe health problems, so using multiple TMs on one Pokémon is against store policy. Additionally, the TMs require a 12 hour warm up period before they can be used on anything.

Also, using a TM on a Pokémon who was discovered in, or has relatives that were discovered in the generation the TM was used in is rather pointless, as it is clearly not going to be able to use it. The same goes for a Pokémon that exists in a generation that has the move as a tutor. Additionally, a Pokémon wouldn't be able to even use one of these TMs if it does not have the necessary organs to use them (ThunderPunch Torterra) or the idea of the Pokémon would be simply batshit insane. (BubbleBeam Torkoal)

There is a list of the TMs inside the cases on the wall in order from cheapest to most expensive for the customers' convenience.

$4 (overhead $2): Bide, Defense Curl, Dragon Rage, Fury Cutter, Icy Wind, Mud Slap, Pay Day, Rage, Snore, Sweet Scent, Water Gun

$7 (overhead $3): DynamicPunch, Mega Kick, Sky Attack, Softboiled, Submission, Zap Cannon

Picking up my new money machine.

So, then. I'm assuming I'd be all right in teaching my Shinx Counter, right?

Go right ahead.

Okay then, one complementary Counter TM for Reshef. Thanks.

Pickup.

Could I teach Teleport to a Misdreavus?

Could a Bronzor learn Zap Cannon?

Also, Whirlpool is now available as an HM in HGSS, so yeah.

Zap cannon bronzor should be acceptable, yes.

Would Counter Shelgon, Sharpedo, Eevee be fine? heheh

Does this count as the only sig move a Pokemon would have, or could I make a sig move afterwards?

No, no, and no.

You get only one movepool modification for your pokémon. If you bought one of these and later decided to put a signature move on the same pokémon, it would overwrite the one learned by TM.
