TMs and HMs

Agresivity: /* TMs */

'''Technical Machines''' and '''Hidden Machines''', respectively abbreviated as '''TMs''' and '''HMs''', are disk-resemblant devices that encapsulate move techniques that can be taught to compatible Pokémon. These provide avenues for learning moves that might not otherwise be learnable via the Pokémon's level-up/instinctual pool, [[Move Tutor]]s, or [[Egg Moves]].

For the out-of-battle navigational functionality of HM-learned moves, the HM item must be possessed in your inventory in addition to a Pokémon that totes the move or, particularly for the [[Surf |Surf]] technique, a surfable [[Mounts|Mount]].
==Differences==
The two devices can be dichotomized mainly by their reusability; TMs are single-use items that will be expended when used, whereas HMs are infinitely reusable. Fittingly enough, HMs mostly encapsulate navigational moves that are used outside-of-battle; this is mainly why they are reusable, as a player may end up stranded in an area if they were to replace one of their HM-learned moves and be incapacitated from traversing their way out of the environment.

Contrary to the handheld games, HM-learned moves can be overwritten, here.

==TM-tutors==
{{Main|Move_tutors#TM-tutors|TM-tutors}}

TM-tutors are a subscope of move-tutors wherein TM techniques can be taught to technique-compatible tutees by move-tutors; this is a makeshift impartation for TM devices that are not programmed in—and thus not distributable—at this time. This avenue is employed to augment the pool of available TMs.

TM-tutors are expected to be defunctionalized once their respective techniques are programmed into distributable TM devices.
