===Generation I===

[[Generation I]] featured 50 TMs, with an additional {{DL|HM|Generation I|five HMs}}. [[Move Tutor]]s in {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} teach several of the moves that were removed from the TM list between Generation I and Generation III.

==In the anime==

* [[Gym Leader]]s who give out a TM on their defeat typically give out one containing a move of their [[Type expert|specialty type]]. However, in their respective first generation of an appearance each, [[Brock]] and [[Falkner]] do not, giving out {{TM|34|Bide}} (a {{type|Normal}} move) and {{TM|31|Mud-Slap}} (a {{type|Ground}} move), respectively. This is rectified in the [[remake]]s of their debut games with Brock giving away {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} while Falkner's prize is {{TM|51|Roost}}. Likewise, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] do not give out TMs matching their specialty type, instead giving out the {{type|Normal}} {{TM|83|Work Up}}, regardless of which of the three is battled.

** Prior to Generation III, TMs given out by the starting region's Gym Leaders teach moves that no Pokémon learns naturally. There is one exception: in {{game|Yellow}}, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} learns {{m|Thunderbolt}} in place of {{m|Swift}}.

* Generation IV is the first generation in which there is at least one TM that teaches a move of each Pokémon type.

** Generation I had no TMs for {{t|Bug}}- or {{type|Ghost}} moves, Generation II had none for {{t|Flying}}, and Generation III had none for {{t|Bug}}.
