Four of them remain as HM moves even through [[Generation VI]], while the fifth, {{m|Flash}}, retains the ability to be used outside of battle (to light dark caves in [[Generation V]], or reduce encounters with wild Pokémon in Generation VI). | |||
None of these moves are able to be forgotten in Generation I, and a Pokémon with these moves cannot be raised by the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

When a move is replaced by an HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move until [[Pokémon Center|healed]] or [[Ether|replenished]].

Of all the HMs, only a single use of {{m|Cut}} is required at the [[Dreamyard]] for completing {{game|Black and White|s}}. Only {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} are required for completing {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}. Cut, Surf, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}} can still be often used to access optional areas. Strength may also often be optionally used to make shortcuts. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* In the core series, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} are the games with most HMs available (they have eight HMs), and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the games with most HMs required for completion (with seven HMs required). | |||
* Of all the core series games with available HMs, the [[Generation I]] games and the [[Kalos]] ([[Generation VI]]) games are the ones with fewest HMs (they have five HMs), and {{game|Black and White|s}} are the ones with fewest HMs required for completion (with only Cut needed). | |||
* Flash, Fly, and Defog are never required to finish a game. Flash and Defog remove obstacles (darkness and fog, respectively) that make it difficult to see; areas affected can still otherwise be normally explored with these obstacles present. | |||
* With the exception of Flash, Fly, and Defog, all HMs are required to finish the games where they first gained their HM status. | |||
* In the core series, the only methods that can remove an HM move are [[Move Deleter]] and the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. However, HM moves can be replaced as normal in games in which they are not HMs. | * In the core series, the only methods that can remove an HM move are [[Move Deleter]] and the [[Pokémon Day Care]].

* 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. | * The only then-current HM moves that were also able to be learned by Pokémon by level-up were {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Waterfall}}.
