HM moves, like Fly, have effects outside of battle.

A Hidden Machine, HM for short (Japanese: ひでんマシン Secret Machine) is an item that, like a TM, is used to teach a Pokémon a move.

The difference between a TM and an HM is most pronounced in the earlier games in the series, where TMs were single-use items while HMs could be used an unlimited amount of times after they were obtained. HMs, unlike TMs, could not be sold for money, and the moves contained within could not be forgotten by Pokémon under normal circumstances.

All HM moves have the ability to be used outside of battle in the games they are HMs in, though a move's ability to be used outside of battle does not mean that it is necessarily an HM move. To be used outside of battle, specific Badges must be obtained by the player to advance the game's storyline.

Generation I

In Generation I, five of the 165 moves are HM moves, and their use is essential for completing the game. Of these five, four of them remain as HM moves even in Generation V, while the fifth, Flash, retains the ability to be used outside of battle to light dark caves.

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 Route 5. Unlike in later generations, all of these moves must be selected from the Pokémon screen to be used.

Generation II

In Generation II two new moves become HMs. The five from Generation I return, while a new move, Whirlpool, becomes one, and an old move, Waterfall, becomes another.

A move deleter was added to the games, mostly with the intention of making possible the ability to delete Generation II moves that a Generation I Pokémon had learned in order to be able to trade it back, though with the side effect of HM moves now being able to be forgotten.

From this generation on, Pokémon with HM moves are allowed in the Day Care, and fathers with HM moves will pass the moves down to their children as they would a TM move. HM moves can also be used just by checking the obstacle that the HM will clear, such as surfable water or a movable rock.

Generation III

Hoenn

In Hoenn one of the Generation II HMs lost its status, while another move became the eighth HM.

Kanto

In Kanto, due to a lack of use for Dive, it was stripped of its HM status, though HM08 remains programmed into the game and can be hacked in to teach Dive. The first five HMs remain the same as Generation I, while HM06 and HM07 can be found in the Sevii Islands later in the game.
