TM: Difference between revisions

==TM through generations==

In [[Generation V]], TMs have changed from being single-use items to having unlimited uses, making them akin to [[HM]]s. In this generation only, when a Pokémon learns a move from a TM or HM by overwriting an old one, the new move takes on the current PP of the forgotten move. This prevents repeated usage of machines for the purpose of PP restoration. The prices of the purchasable TMs are also much higher to reflect the fact they can be reused, and they can no longer be held or sold. (However, they can be sold in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]].) In [[Pokémon Black and White]], there are 94 TMs available normally; among the ones numbered 92 and lower, many of them teach different moves from their Generation IV counterparts. With the number of HMs reduced to six, there are once again an even 100 machine-learnable moves. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the previously [[event]]-only [[TM95]] was made normally available, bringing the number of machine-learnable moves in Generation V to 101.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], TMs continued to be multiple-use items. [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Super Mystery Dungeon]] however, regresses back to the ability to only use them once and to sell them. Most TMs contained the same moves that they did in Generation V, with the exceptions of TM19, TM51, TM83, and TM88. Five more TMs were added, bringing the number of TMs up to an even 100. As there are only five HM moves in Generation VI, there are now 105 machine-learnable moves. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], two more HMs were added. Additionally, TM94, [[Rock Smash]] in X and Y, was changed to [[Secret Power]] to reflect the fact that Rock Smash was an HM once again. This is the only time a TM has changed in the middle of a generation. As a result, there are now 107 machine-learnable moves.

==Move Tutor moves==

{{main|Move Tutor}}

Though technically not TMs, some moves can only be obtained via a [[Move Tutor]]: a [[non-player character]] who teaches the desired move to a single Pokémon. Often, these moves are moves which were formerly contained in TMs. They first appeared in {{v2|Crystal}}, where outside of the [[Goldenrod City]] [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]] a man would teach a compatible Pokémon {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, or {{m|Thunderbolt}} for 4000 coins on certain days of the week.

 

This was continued in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, where Trainers could encounter NPCs who would offer to teach a Pokémon a move that was not otherwise available to it. All but three of these moves (the elemental {{m|Hyper Beam}} variations) were available as TMs in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}; FireRed and LeafGreen use the updated TM list of [[Generation III]].

 

In {{v2|Emerald}}, the same moves were able to be learned via Move Tutors, with the addition of some outdated [[Generation II]] TMs as well.
