TMs are a device that you can use to teach your Pokémon a new move. You can only use these items once, though, so use them wisely. Some are rarer than others, as well.

HMs are a little different than TMs. There's not nearly as many in the game, and you can only get one. However, you can use them however many times you want. When you teach a Pokémon an HM move, though, it cannot forget it unless you take it to the Move Deleter's house in Blackthorn City. These HMs each have a certain field effect that you can use if you've beaten the right gym leader.
