There are a total of seven Hidden Machines in FireRed and LeafGreen. If you get a Pokemon with the move Dive, it is also classified as an HM and cannot be unlearned. But there is no Pokemon that can naturally obtain this move in FRLG unless you trade one in from Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald.

How to Get HMs

Find HMs as Hidden Items in the Overworld

Some HMs can be found in Item Balls in the Overworld. Unlike future titles, these Item Balls are the same color as other Item Balls, so do try to pick up any you come across.

Receive HMs From NPCs

Some HMs can be obtained by talking to various NPCs. These are usually story locked, so you'll obtain most of them just by playing through the main story.

What Are HMs?

Hidden Machines

Hidden Machines (HMs) are multi-use disks that contain data for a Move that certain Pokemon can learn like TMs. However, these moves can be used to help you traverse the overworld.
