Pokémon Gen I TM & HM Locations
Important TM and HM locations for Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow progression.
These are the most important move items for Gen I route progression and team planning. HM constraints are stricter than in modern games.
| Item | Move | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 HM01 | Cut | S.S. Anne | Required for major Kanto progression. HM moves cannot be forgotten normally in Generation I. |
 HM02 | Fly | Route 16 | Optional for battle, very useful for travel after reaching Celadon. |
 HM03 | Surf | Safari Zone | Essential for late-game routing, Seafoam Islands, Cinnabar access, and the Power Plant path. |
 HM04 | Strength | Fuchsia City | Received after returning the Safari Zone Gold Teeth. Needed for several boulder puzzles. |
 HM05 | Flash | Route 2 gate | Optional but helpful for Rock Tunnel. Requires enough Pokédex progress to receive. |
 TM24 | Thunderbolt | Vermilion Gym reward | A key Electric TM from Lt. Surge. Strong for Water and Flying matchups. |
 TM13 | Ice Beam | Celadon Game Corner prize | Valuable coverage for Lance and many late-game threats. |
 TM29 | Psychic | Saffron City | One of the strongest Generation I attack types and excellent against Poison and Fighting Pokémon. |
