TM: Difference between revisions

Prior to [[Generation V]], as well as in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], TMs are single-use items that are consumed after use, in contrast to [[HM|Hidden Machines]] (HMs) which are not consumed. From Generation V onward, TMs are not consumed after use.

[[Generation II]] includes 50 TMs, with an additional seven HMs. Many of the TMs differ from Generation I, with most of the newly-introduced TMs teaching newly-introduced moves. In fact, moves contained in all but thirteen TMs (that is, all except [[TM06]], [[TM14]], [[TM15]], [[TM22]], [[TM25]], [[TM26]], [[TM28]], [[TM29]], [[TM32]], [[TM38]], [[TM39]], [[TM42]] and [[TM44]]) were changed.

[[Generation IV]] includes 92 TMs, with an additional eight HMs. Due to the fact that TMs can be transferred from the Generation III games, the first 50 TMs teach the same moves as in Generation III. All of the new TMs teach {{cat|Generation IV moves|moves introduced in Generation IV}}, except [[TM54]], [[TM58]], [[TM61]], [[TM62]], [[TM64]], [[TM67]], [[TM75]], [[TM80]], [[TM82]], [[TM87]] and [[TM90]].

[[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] include 100 TMs. HMs no longer exist, although the former HM moves {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Surf}} became TMs instead. This is because the overworld uses of the HMs are replaced with the [[Poké Ride]] feature. The only TMs that were changed between [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]] are [[TM01]], [[TM28]], [[TM59]], [[TM67]], [[TM70]], [[TM76]], [[TM94]], and [[TM98]].

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] include 60 TMs, with no HMs, as they are replaced with [[Secret Technique]]s. Every TM teaches a different move to what it taught in the [[Alola]] games.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], TMs remain virtually identical to how they work in the previous generation, with no HMs and 100 TMs in total. However, this generation prompted the inclusion of 100 new [[TR|Technical Records]] (known as TRs for short), which function as single-use items similar to how TMs worked prior to Generation V. The moves contained in TRs are all different from TM moves. Unlike in previous generations, TMs and TRs are numbered starting from 00, not 01; to make up for this, [[TM100]] has been removed.

 

 

The eight HMs from Diamond and Pearl are now TM93 through TM100, in the same order.
