Pokémon Platinum TM & HM Locations
Where to find all 92 TMs and 8 HMs in Platinum: item balls, hidden spots, gifts from NPCs and Gym Leaders, the Veilstone Department Store, the Veilstone Game Corner 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 Canalave City).
