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. Moves taught by HMs cannot normally be forgotten.

HMs can be used an unlimited number of times and cannot be disposed of. Moves taught by HMs, known as '''HM moves''', '''hidden moves'''{{sup/3|RSEFRLG}}{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}, '''Hidden Moves'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}, or '''<sc>Hidden</sc> moves'''{{sup/3|FRLG}} (Japanese: '''ひでんわざ''' ''secret move''; formatted in kanji as '''{{tt|秘伝技|ひでんわざ}}''' ''secret move'' only at the [[Entralink]] and when using [[Poké Transfer]] in Generation V), cannot normally be forgotten. These moves have a use as [[field move]]s in games in which they are HMs.


HMs are not present in [[Generation VII]], having been replaced by the [[Poké Ride]] and [[Secret Technique]] features for field navigation.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.

HMs can be used any number of times, and cannot be tossed or sold. This contrasts to TMs in Generations I to IV, in which TMs are single-use items that can be tossed and sold.

Moves taught by HMs are all [[field move]]s in the games in which they are HMs, but some field moves are not HM moves. Like all field moves, they can be used outside of battle even if the Pokémon has fainted or no {{PP}} in that move (using it in the field does not consume PP). Except for [[Generation V]], specific [[Badge]]s must be obtained by the player before they can use an HM move outside of battle to advance the game's storyline.

A Pokémon knowing an HM move cannot be sent forward from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]] or from Generation IV to Generation V unless the HM move is removed (via [[Move Deleter]]). {{m|Dive}} prevents sending forward from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} despite not being considered an HM by those games, while {{m|Defog}} and {{m|Whirlpool}} only prevent Pokémon being sent forward from the games they are an HM in. Pokémon with Whirlpool can freely be sent into {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} from Generation III, while Pokémon with Dive can freely be sent into Generation V games. Unlike in previous inter-generational transfers, Pokémon sent from Generation I or V to [[Poké Transporter]] that know HM moves do not require these moves to be deleted. Pokémon that know HM moves can also be freely deposited and withdrawn from [[Pokémon Bank]].

In Generation V, Pokémon knowing an HM move cannot be traded via [[infrared]] communications if they are in the player's [[party]], to prevent a player from potentially becoming stuck somewhere that requires an HM move to escape.

===Generation I===
====Generation I====
In Generation I, five of the 165 moves are HM moves, of which three ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Strength}}) are required for completing the game. Of these five, 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).
Five HM moves were introduced in this generation. Three HMs ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Strength}}) are required for completing the games.

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

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 {{m|surf}}able water or a movable rock.

===Generation V===
====Generation V====
HMs were reduced to six in Generation V; HM07 and HM08 no longer exist in the coding of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Dive returns for use in Unova. This generation marks the first time that HM moves do not require Gym Badges for use outside of battle. Although most HM moves cannot be obtained before earning certain Gym Badges, if the player obtains a Pokémon that has learned an HM move through other means (via [[Level|level-up]], [[Trade|trading]], etc.) the player will be able to use the HM in the field without restrictions.

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]]. The same also applies for replacing old moves with TMs.

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.

Prior to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, HMs can be used an infinite amount of times and are colored differently to TMs. HMs cannot be used inside dungeons and are more difficult to obtain than TMs. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], each HM can only be found once in [[List of TM and HM locations in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|specific dungeons]], while in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], they can only be found in [[Destiny Tower (Explorers of Sky)|Destiny Tower]] or [[Final Maze]]. They play a particular role in Red and Blue Rescue Team, where the player must either have a specific HM in the [[Toolbox]] or have a party member that knows the move taught by that HM in order to access certain dungeons.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the core series, the only ways to delete an HM move are through the [[Move Deleter]] and the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. However, the move can be deleted by normal means in a game in which it is not taught through an HM.
* In the core series, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and all [[Generation IV]] games have the highest number of HMs available (each game has 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 lowest number of 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.
* 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.

Reason: restrictions on trading Pokémon that know HM moves

HM moves, like Fly, have effects outside of battle
HM artwork for Pokémon Red and Green

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. Moves taught by HMs, known as HM moves, hidden movesRSEFRLGDPPtHGSSBWB2W2, Hidden MovesFRLGB2W2, or Hidden movesFRLG (Japanese: ひでんわざ secret move; formatted in kanji as 秘伝技 secret move only at the Entralink and when using Poké Transfer in Generation V), cannot normally be forgotten. These moves have a use as field moves in games in which they are HMs.

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 Rides, Secret Techniques, the Flying Taxi, and Rotom Bike. Some former HM moves are instead TM or TR moves in these games.

In the core series

Mechanics

HMs can be used any number of times, and cannot be tossed, sold, or held. This contrasts to TMs in Generations I to IV, in which TMs are single-use items that can be tossed, sold, or held. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, HMs cannot be stored in a PC.

Moves taught by HMs are all field moves in the games in which they are HMs, but some field moves are not HM moves. Like all field moves, they can be used outside of battle even if the Pokémon has fainted or no PP in that move (using it in the field does not consume PP). Except for Generation V, specific Badges must be obtained by the player before they can use an HM move outside of battle to advance the game's storyline.

HM moves cannot be forgotten by Pokémon under normal circumstances in the games in which they are HMs, even if they are not learned via HM. They can be deleted by the Move Deleter, although Surf cannot be deleted in Pokémon Emerald if the Pokémon is the only one in the player's party or PC that knows the move. If a Pokémon learns a new move while in Pokémon Day Care, an HM move can be replaced if it is at the top of the list; however, in Generation I the Pokémon Day Care will not accept Pokémon that know HM moves.

A Pokémon knowing an HM move cannot be sent forward from Generation III to Generation IV or from Generation IV to Generation V unless the HM move is removed (via Move Deleter). Dive prevents sending forward from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen despite not being considered an HM by those games, while Defog and Whirlpool only prevent Pokémon being sent forward from the games they are an HM in. Pokémon with Whirlpool can freely be sent into Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver from Generation III, while Pokémon with Dive can freely be sent into Generation V games. Unlike in previous inter-generational transfers, Pokémon sent from Generation I or V to Poké Transporter that know HM moves do not require these moves to be deleted. Pokémon which know HM moves cannot be traded over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or the Nintendo Network, and also cannot be deposited in the GTS. Pokémon that know HM moves can also be freely deposited and withdrawn from Pokémon Bank.

In Generation V, Pokémon knowing an HM move cannot be traded via infrared communications if they are in the player's party, to prevent a player from potentially becoming stuck somewhere that requires an HM move to escape.

In Generation III and IV, if the player attempts to release a Pokémon that is the only Pokémon in their party or PC that knows a certain HM move, it will immediately return. In Generation III, these moves are Surf and Dive. In Generation IV, they are Surf, Waterfall, and Rock Climb, as well as Fly in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

HMs by generation

Generation I

Five HM moves were introduced in this generation. Three HMs (Cut, Surf, and Strength) are required for completing the games.

Four of them remain as HM moves even through Generation VI, while the fifth, 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 Route 5. Unlike in later generations, all of these moves must be selected from the Pokémon screen to be used.

Generation II

The five HMs from Generation I return, while a new move, Whirlpool, is introduced as an HM, and an old move, Waterfall, becomes one as well. Five HMs are required for completing the games: the same three from before (Cut, Surf, and Strength) and the two new HMs.

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

Whirlpool lost its HM status, while Rock Smash gained HM status, and a new move, Dive, became an HM, raising the total number to eight. Five HMs are required for completing the games: Surf, Strength, Rock Smash, Waterfall, and Dive. While Cut is not required anymore, it can still be used to access optional areas.

In Kanto, due to a lack of use for Dive, HM08 is unobtainable and can only be accessed through cheating. The first five HMs can be acquired through the same methods as in Generation I, while HM06 and HM07 can be found in the Sevii Islands later in the game.

Three HMs are required for completing the games: the same ones from Generation I (Cut, Surf, and Strength). In addition, Waterfall is required for finishing the Pokémon Network machine, which allows trading with the Hoenn games.

Sinnoh

For the first time, one of the original HMs, Flash, lost its status to a new move, Defog, while HM08 was brought back as Rock Climb.

Six HMs are required for completing the games: Cut, Surf, Strength, Rock Smash, Waterfall, and Rock Climb.

Generation V

HMs were reduced to six in Generation V; HM07 and HM08 no longer exist in the coding of Pokémon Black and White. Dive returns for use in Unova. This generation marks the first time that HM moves do not require Gym Badges for use outside of battle. Although most HM moves cannot be obtained before earning certain Gym Badges, if the player obtains a Pokémon that has learned an HM move through other means (via level-up, trading, etc.) the player will be able to use the HM in the field without restrictions.

When a move is replaced by an HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move until healed or replenished. The same also applies for replacing old moves with TMs.

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

Generation VI

HMs have returned to requiring a Badge to use them.

When a move is replaced by an HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move until healed or replenished. The same also applies for replacing old moves with TMs.

Kalos

HMs were reduced to five in Kalos like in Generation l. The HMs are the same as Generation V, except HM06 was removed.

Only Surf and Strength are required to complete the game. Cut, Surf, Strength, and Waterfall can still be often used to access optional areas. Strength may also often be optionally used to make shortcuts.

Though Rock Smash is not an HM, it can still be used outside of battle, unlike in Generation V.

Hoenn

HMs were increased to seven in Hoenn. Rock Smash and Dive regained their HM status.

Seven of the eight original Hoenn HMs are available in the remakes. Flash is the exception, which is still usable outside of battle as usual, but is not an HM anymore since Generation IV.

Like in the original Hoenn games, five HMs are required for completing the games (Surf, Strength, Rock Smash, Waterfall, and Dive), while Cut can be used to access optional areas.

HM-exclusive moves

Due to the nature of HMs, these moves are often exclusively taught by them. Waterfall is the only HM move that was never HM-exclusive.

In spin-off games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Prior to Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, HMs can be used an infinite amount of times and are colored differently to TMs. HMs cannot be used inside dungeons and are more difficult to obtain than TMs. In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, each HM can only be found once in specific dungeons, while in Explorers of Time and Darkness and Sky, they can only be found in Destiny Tower or Final Maze. They play a particular role in Red and Blue Rescue Team, where the player must either have a specific HM in the Toolbox or have a party member that knows the move taught by that HM in order to access certain dungeons.

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, HMs are treated more or less the same as TMs. Like TMs, they can only be used once and have the same bag sprite as TMs. Despite this, when a HM is dropped in a dungeon, the color of the HM differs from that of a TM.

In the anime

In Pokémon Origins

HM01 (Cut) appeared in File 2: Cubone. Much like in Pokémon Red and Blue, it was given to Red by the captain of S.S. Anne after helping him recover from his seasickness.

In the manga

HM03 in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In What a Dragonite, Red was revealed to have already obtained HM01 (Cut) for his Ivysaur, HM04 (Strength) for his Snorlax, and HM05 (Flash) for his Pikachu, one of which he had won in a bike race in Wake Up—You're Snorlax!. When he tried to get his hands on HM03 (Surf), he ran into some trouble with a wild Dragonite, eventually leading to the Hidden Machine getting destroyed. To help him, Misty gave Red her Gyarados in exchange for his Krabby, since it already knew Surf.

It was also revealed that Blue had found HM03 before Red, fueling the young Trainer's determination of finding it too.

In the Pokémon Zensho manga

In Vermilion City, after defeating Lt. Surge, Satoshi received the HM for Cut from the captain of S.S. Anne, whom he had met earlier.

Trivia

  • In the core series, Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and all Generation IV games have the highest number of HMs available (each game has eight HMs), and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver 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 lowest number of HMs (they have five HMs), and Pokémon Black and White 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.
  • The only then-current HM moves that were also able to be learned by Pokémon by level-up were Fly and Waterfall. Former HMs Flash, Whirlpool, Defog, Rock Smash, Rock Climb, and 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.
  • Rock Smash is the only HM with a unique type. All other HM moves share their type with at least one other HM move.
  • In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, on Route 20, Swimmer Lori states "Surf is no longer the only HM move you use in water" when she is defeated. This is a reference to Generation I, where the only HM usable in the water was Surf.
  • In Generation IV, all moves that were at one time an HM can be taught via some method, with Flash being available by TM70 and Dive being available by Move Tutor. Defog and Whirlpool, which replace each other in the Sinnoh- and Johto-based games, are both HM05.
    • Generation IV is the only generation in which two moves share the same HM number.
  • Dive is the only HM in Generation V that is not found in a different location between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
  • In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra, Sun, and Ultra Moon, Swimmer Girls Kylie and Ashlyn, two Kalosian HM-makers encountered at Poni Breaker Coast during the post-game, explain that HMs are not only difficult to make, they also cannot legally be sold for money in most regions.
  • Tracey's Scyther is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime to have used a then-current HM move, Cut. It wasn't until Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl that one of Ash's Pokémon used a then-current HM move; Ash's Grotle used Rock Climb.
    • Although debatable, other Pokémon may have used Surf, Dive, and Fly throughout the anime; however, they were not directly ordered to use the move.
