Deep in the depths in Area Zero, there is a strange cave with its floor marked with a strange glyph. These strange glyphs also appear on the logo for the game. It is currently unknown what these glyphs could mean.

HM Stands for Herba Mystica

Unlock New Ways to Explore

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - HM Herba Mystica
Starting from Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, special moves called HMs, have slowly fallen out of favor by calling special Pokemon to help us instead of our party. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet takes this up a notch by having the partner Koraidon (Scarlet) or Miraidon (Violet) perform these tasks themselves through different forms by consuming sandwiches that contain Herba Mystica.

Fans of the older games have noticed that HMs and Herba Mystica share more in common than just helping you explore but also how the Herba Mystica's initials is also HM!
