HM: Difference between revisions

In Generation I, five of the 165 moves are HM moves, of which three ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Strength}}) are required for completing the game. Of these five, four of them remain as HM moves even through [[Generation VI]], while the fifth, {{m|Flash}}, retains the ability to be used outside of battle (to light dark caves in [[Generation V]], or reduce encounters with wild Pokémon in Generation VI).

None of these moves are able to be forgotten in Generation I, and a Pokémon with these moves cannot be raised by the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}. Unlike in later generations, all of these moves must be selected from the Pokémon screen to be used.

In Generation II two new moves become HMs. The five HMs from Generation I return, while a new move, {{m|Whirlpool}}, becomes an HM, and an old move, {{m|Waterfall}}, becomes another HM.

From this generation on, Pokémon with HM moves are allowed in the Day Care, and fathers with HM moves will pass the moves down to their children as they would a TM move. HM moves can also be used just by checking the obstacle that the HM will clear, such as {{m|surf}}able water or a movable rock.

In Hoenn one of the Generation II HMs lost its status, while another two moves became HMs, raising the number of HMs to eight.

In Kanto, due to a lack of use for {{m|Dive}}, HM08 is unobtainable and can only be accessed through [[cheating]]. The first five HMs can be acquired through the same methods as in Generation I, while HM06 and HM07 can be found in the [[Sevii Islands]] later in the game.

HMs were reduced to six in Generation V; HM07 and HM08 no longer exist in the coding of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Dive returns for use in Unova. This generation marks the first time that HM moves do not require Gym Badges for use outside of battle. Although most HM moves cannot be obtained before earning certain Gym Badges, if the player obtains a Pokémon that has learned an HM move through other means (via [[Level|level-up]], [[Trade|trading]], etc.) the player will be able to use the HM in the field without restrictions.

When a move is replaced by an HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move until [[Pokémon Center|healed]] or [[Ether|replenished]]. The same also applies for replacing old moves with TMs.

HMs have returned to requiring a Badge to use them.

When a move is replaced by an HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move until [[Pokémon Center|healed]] or [[Ether|replenished]]. The same also applies for replacing old moves with TMs.

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

It was also revealed that {{adv|Blue}} had found HM03 before Red, fueling the young Trainer's determination of finding it too.

==Trivia==

* {{m|Rock Smash}} is the only HM with a unique type. All other HM moves share their type with at least one other HM move.

** [[Generation IV]] is the only generation in which two moves share the same HM number.

* HM moves have so far been only of the {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Normal}} types.

* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, on {{rt|20|Kanto}}, Swimmer Lori states "{{m|Surf}} is no longer the only HM move you use in water" when she is defeated. This is a reference to [[Generation I]], where the only HM usable in the water was Surf.
