All Confirmed Hidden Moves

All HMs Returning as Hidden Moves

The same 8 HMs in the original Diamond and Pearl are now Hidden Moves in the remakes. Below are the list of Hidden Moves and the obstacles they help overcome.

Hidden Move Purpose
Rock Smash Smashes a breakable rock
Cut Cuts down a small tree
Fly Fast travel to towns and landmarks
Defog Clears the fog in areas
Surf Travels over deep blue water
Strength Pushes big boulders
Rock Climb For ascending or descending rocky walls
Waterfall For ascending or descending waterfalls

Likely to be unlocked by defeating Gym Leaders

Pokemon BDSP Gym Leader

In the originals, you acquired HMs at various points throughout the story but unlocked use of them by acquiring each Gym Badge. The method could be the same in the remakes, but instead of acquiring HMs to teach your Pokemon, you unlock the feature directly onto your Poketch app.

How to Learn and Use HM Moves

Are TM Moves Returning?

Pokemon BDSP Grass Knot

TM (Technical Machine) moves are likely to return, just as they have in all previous mainline games. It's still unclear whether TMs will be single-use (like in the originals) or if there's no limit to how many times you can use them, as the latter has been a feature of TMs since the generation after Diamond and Pearl.

If TMs are single use, it might be difficult to acquire multiple TMs during the main storyline, given the removal of the Game Corner. The player would have to wait until gaining access to the prizes of the Battle Tower, before being able to purchase a lot of TMs repeatedly.
