-A '''Hidden Machine''' (Japanese: '''ひでんマシン''' ''Secret Machine''), '''HM''' for short, is an [[item]] that, like a [[TM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move. HMs can be used an unlimited number of times and cannot be disposed of.

These moves have a use as [[field move]]s in games in which they are HMs.
-HMs were removed from use in [[Generation VII]], getting replaced by the [[Poké Ride]], [[Secret Technique]], and [[Flying Taxi]] features and the [[Rotom Bike]] for field navigation. Three of the HMs were changed into TMs, while other HM moves can be taught through other methods.
+Starting in [[Generation VII]], there are no longer any field moves or HMs. The field move uses of HM moves are replaced by (depending on the game) [[Poké Ride]]s, [[Secret Technique]]s, the [[Flying Taxi]], and [[Rotom Bike]]. Some former HM moves are instead [[TM]] or [[TR]] moves in these games.
