5th Gen The Lock Capsule and TM95 (Snarl)

[Cyclone]

So, I'm on my mission of collecting every TM in the game, and I read today about TM95 (Snarl) not being available in-game, only being available through the Lock Capsule. Thus, my goal of collecting every single TM...cannot possibly happen because this Lock Capsule has never appeared in HG/SS - and even if it does, I play the two games (SS and Black) on the same system, meaning I will never be able to obtain the final TM. Being a TM, surely the move lady in Driftveil will want to see it someday.

How could I possibly go about obtaining it? I'm now suddenly interested in things like Action Replay for things like this specifically (forget modifying Pokémon data in an area to get Charmander, I strictly want the things they never release). It can't be held by a Pokémon (as with all TMs), so it can't be traded between two games even if someone has it. Is there any way someone knows of to acquire it? Can the item be placed on the ground via Action Replay in Black/White? Most importantly, do you think they will actually release the event item?

(Yes, the TM is obtainable in B2/W2, I'm referring to B/W here.)

Don't really know the other questions but the last one kinda leads to discussion so I'll answer that one! Plus I hate to see threads here with zero replies after, like, a day :( I personally think the time for B/W has passed and that they probably won't release it. Maybe as an anniversary type thing but that's the only way I think they'll release it. Maybe they never actually intended to release it or at least they considered it so it was left in B/W in case they were going to release it, but instead stalled til B2W2.

At least there was the Snarl Zoroark event, though, if that's any real consolidation.

It'll probably just be another one of Nintendo's forgotten events that leave us with a gap in our games that was "filled with something else" like the Azure Flute in D/P/Pt and just getting Arceus instead. Even though I would never use it, it's still disappointing imo.

Indeed, I made it a point to collect every TM, and now I've lost the fight to do that because there will always be that one I can never obtain.

I never saw the Snarl Zoroark either. I started late.

I'll look into the Action Replay thing someday if I really want it.

Ya. TM 95 was never released in B/W. Most game guides don't mention it either and neither does the Pokedex 3D. Its an Event Item similar to the Event Pokemon which don't exist until they are released (Even though Snarl is in the coding for the game)

Spoiler:

TM 95 IS available in B2W2 I just forgot where, but I think its fairly early in.

From the sounds of it, that means it's not possible to look at the code for any TM lying on the ground and change it to Snarl, then plop it down somewhere with an Action Replay (but then, I know nothing about Action Replay ATM, so I don't know if items can even be "plopped down" somewhere like when Pokémon are programmed to appear). This is unfortunate.

In the same vein, it seems no one has figured out how to unlock the Lock Capsule in either game, either.

I used the Azure Flute with an Action Replay.

It was by far one of the coolest events, the music, the graphics, the location. It was badass.

Since this came back up, I'll note I found a post somewhere with a possible answer using Action Replay.

I can't confirm whether this works or not; I still don't have a 3DS Action Replay, in fact. I take no responsibility if it causes a problem. Others claim it works, however. I have to admit I'm curious whether it does.
