TM and HM are special machines that are capable of teaching Pokémon moves they might be otherwise unable to learn on their own.
TM[edit | edit source]
TM stands for Technical Machine. Technical Machines in the Pokémon Universe are in the form of a discs, resembling CDs. Pokémon Trainers can give these TMs to their Pokémon to help them to learn new moves to use against opponent Pokémon. In Pokémon Generations I-IV, TMs could only be used once before disappearing. Starting with Pokémon Black and White, TMs became unlimited use items, just like HMs.

Alphabetical List of Technical Machines[edit | edit source]
HM[edit | edit source]
A Hidden Machine, HM for short, is in almost every way identical to a TM, except for three differences:
- The moves cannot be overridden by simply learning another move
- The moves can be used outside of battle after obtaining the relevant gym badge
- The HM can be used multiple times without breaking (this is only a difference up to generation IV; in generation V TMs can not be broken).
Additionally, Pokémon on a third generation game cartridge cannot be transferred to a fourth generation game card if it knows an HM move, you must go to the Move Deleter in your game in order to transfer these Pokémon to Pokémon Diamond/Pokémon Pearl. Also when you transfer Pokémon to Black/White, through the Poketransfer, the Pokémon may not know any HMs.
- HMs do not exist in Generation VII: the Poké Ride mechanic has replaced them.
