With the retirement of HMs and field moves from [[Generation VII]] onward, HM mules are not necessary in those games. In Generation VII, the functions of HMs are replaced by [[Poké Ride]]s{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} and [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Rotom Bike]]'s Water Mode replaces {{m|Surf}} and the [[Flying Taxi]] replaces {{m|Fly}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, various {{hi|ride Pokémon}} provide similar functions, allowing the player to traverse through [[Hisui]] faster, swim through water, climb steep cliffs, and glide through the air. The [[Arc Phone]]'s map allows players to warp between locations, replacing Fly. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, traversal abilities are gained by the player's {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} during the {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Path of Legends}} storyline, and the Flying Taxi from Sword and Shield returns.
