Polished Crystal TM & HM Locations: Complete List, Rewards & Map Guide

Introduction

This guide is a lookup for the 75 TMs and 6 HMs documented for Polished Crystal. Use the numbered tables to find a machine, or start with the Moves database when you know the move but not its number. Every row connects the machine to its move, acquisition method, and location.

Quick answer: where to find TMs and HMs

Start with the HM table for HM01–HM06, or jump to the numbered TM tables for TM01–TM75. The tables link to the relevant item, move, and location pages. If you know the move but not its machine number, use the Moves database.

TM and HM lookup

TMs and HMs are listed separately because HMs support progression while TMs are grouped by number. Check the acquisition and location columns for the exact way to obtain each machine.

A lot of TMs are hidden items! If you're missing one, grab the Itemfinder and check the area again. I've missed plenty of hidden items on first pass.
