HM: Difference between revisions

[[File:Fly V OW.png|thumb|250px|HM moves, like {{m|Fly}}, have effects outside of battle.]]

A '''Hidden Machine''', '''HM''' for short (Japanese: '''ひでんマシン''' ''Secret Machine'') is an item that, like a [[TM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move.

The difference between a TM and an HM is most pronounced in the earlier games in the series, where TMs were single-use items while HMs could be used an unlimited amount of times after they were obtained, and unlike TMs could not be tossed or sold for money.  Additionally, the moves contained within an HM can not be forgotten by Pokémon under normal circumstances. An HM move can be used in the field by a Pokémon even if the Pokémon has fainted during battle or has run out of [[PP]] (using it in the field does not consume PP).

Though {{m|Rock Smash}} is still not an HM, it can still be used outside of battle, unlike in Generation V.

There are at least four HMs in Hoenn, with the exact number currently unknown. {{m|Rock Smash}} is an HM once again.

* The only way for the player to delete an HM move in the handheld games is to use the Move Deleter. Note that "HM moves" are not always HMs in every game, and can be replaced freely in games where they are not HMs:

** {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}} allow any move to be replaced.

* A Pokémon knowing an HM move that is left in the Day Care may forget the HM move in favor of a new move; see [[Pokémon Day Care#Overview|Day Care]].

* The first four HMs, {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Strength}}, have existed in every main-series Pokémon game. Out of these moves, only Fly is able to be learned in any way aside from using the HM.

* Dive is the only HM in Generation V that is not found in a different location between Black & White and Black 2 & White 2.
