Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver TM & HM Locations
Where to find all 92 TMs and 8 HMs in HeartGold and SoulSilver: item balls, hidden spots, gifts from NPCs and Gym Leaders, the Goldenrod and Celadon Department Stores, the Game Corner prize counters and the Battle Frontier’s Battle Point exchange.
TMs in Generation IV break after one use; HMs can be used again and again but are hard to forget (ask the Move Deleter in Blackthorn City).
