* [[Tracey's Scyther]] is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime to have used a then-current HM move, {{m|Cut}}. It wasn't until the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} that one of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon used a then-current HM move; [[Ash's Grotle]] used {{m|Rock Climb}}.

** Although debatable, other Pokémon may have used {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Fly}} throughout the anime; however, they were not directly ordered to use the move.

**Although in the {{series|original}} [[Ash's Charizard]] knew {{m|Fly}} making it the first of Ash's Pokémon to known an HM move, at the time it couldn't execute the move.
* The only then-current HM moves that were also able to be learned by Pokémon by level-up were {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Waterfall}}. Former HMs {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Defog}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Rock Climb}}, and {{m|Dive}} are also learnable by level, but only since their loss of HM status. Moves that regained their HM status, like Whirlpool and Dive, remained learnable by level-up. Waterfall remains the only HM move that has been learnable by level-up since it was introduced as a move, prior to gaining HM status.

* In Generation IV, all moves that were at one time an HM can be taught via some method, with Flash being available by [[TM70]] and Dive being available by [[Move Tutor]]. Defog and Whirlpool, which replace each other in the [[Sinnoh]]- and [[Johto]]-based games, are both HM05.
