TM: Difference between revisions

For the in-game locations of TMs, see [[List of TM and HM locations]].

===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.

===Generation VI===

In [[Pokémon X and Y]] and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, TMs continued to be multiple-use items. [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], however, has both types of TMs, where regular ones can only be used once, and rainbow colored ones have infinite use, and all HMs are TMs instead. 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, {{TM|94|Rock Smash}} in X and Y was changed to {{m|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.

==In the anime==

In ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', a fake TM was seen amongst the many fake items sold to {{adv|Red}} by {{adv|Green}}.

{{-}}

* [[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}}.
