TMs and HMs

Technical Machines and Hidden Machines, respectively abbreviated as TMs and HMs, are disk-like 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 Tutors, 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 technique, a surfable Mount.

Differences

The only fundamental difference between the devices is their reusability: TMs are single-use, whereas HMs are infinitely reusable.

HMs are reusable mainly because they encapsulate navigationally essential moves, as a player would possibly 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 article: 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.
