HMs, or Hidden Machines, have gone through quite the change in the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl games. Rather than something that can be taught to Pokémon, they are now single-use moves that are also loaded into their PokéGear. They allow you to summon a wild Pokémon that will have the move you need to get you past environmental obstacles.

Below, you will find a list of the HMs and how to get them:
- Cut – Players will be given Cut after arriving at Eterna City and talking with Cynthia.
- Defog – Defog is found at the Great Marsh Gate near Pastoria City by speaking with the receptionist on the left. You’ll need to pay a nominal fee for this HM.
- Fly – You can earn Fly after visiting Team Galactic’s warehouse base at Veilstone City.
- Rock Climb – On Route 217 players will be able to find a snowstorm. In this area, you can also find a cabin. Inside, speak to the Hikers. When you leave, there will be some items in the snow and one of them will be the TM100 Rock Climb.
- Rock Smash – This one is found by visiting Oreburgh Gate. A Hiker there will give you the move at the entrance. It’s not usable until you beat the first gym, however.
- Strength – Can be found at the peak of The Lost Tower on Route 209.
- Surf – Is found in Celestic City after you’ve beaten Team Galactic in the Ruins. Look at the paintings on the walls and Cynthia’s grandmother will enter and give you Surf.
- Waterfall – For this one, you need to beat Vokner, the eighth gym leader. After the battle, go to the beach at Sunyshore City and speak to Jasmine.
