A '''Technical Machine''', or '''TM''' for short (Japanese: '''わざマシン''' ''Move Machine''), is an item that, like an [[HM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move. A TM is a machine used by [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} a new [[move]] that it might not learn otherwise. Prior to [[Generation V]], TMs were single-use items, unlike [[HM|Hidden Machines]], which can be used over and over again on many different Pokémon. TMs can be found on the ground or bought at [[department store]]s. Some are also given away by [[Gym Leader]]s as prizes for defeating them in addition to a [[Badge]]. [[Silph Co.]] has distributed a pamphlet containing information on TMs and HMs, indicating they are, at least partially, developed or produced by the company. | A '''Technical Machine''', or '''TM''' for short (Japanese: '''わざマシン''' ''Move Machine''), is an item that, like an [[HM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move.

Although TMs have not appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}, they were mentioned once in the Japanese version of ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. While talking with the {{p|Kecleon}} Brothers, {{p|Charmander}} of [[Team Go-Getters]] mentioned TMs among other things the [[Kecleon Shop]] was sold out on. This reference was not included in the [[dub]]. | |||

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. | ||
