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 or [[game Corner]]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. | ||
Prior to Generation VI, TM moves will also be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} if the baby Pokémon can learn that TM (such as passing {{m|Flamethrower}} from a father {{p|Typhlosion}} to a baby {{p|Torchic}}). Prior to Generation V, there were also several Pokémon that could not learn certain TM moves directly from a TM but could learn them via breeding, such as {{p|Vulpix}} with {{m|Energy Ball}}. | Prior to Generation VI, TM moves will also be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} if the baby Pokémon can learn that TM (such as passing {{m|Flamethrower}} from a father {{p|Typhlosion}} to a baby {{p|Torchic}}).
