Technical Machines and Hidden Machines, respectively abbreviated as TMs and HMs, are disk-like devices that encapsulate move techniques that can be taught to compatible Pokémon. These provide avenues for learning moves that might not otherwise be learnable via the Pokémon’s level-up/instinctual pool, Move Tutors, or Egg Moves.
For the out-of-battle navigational functionality of HM-learned moves, the HM item must be possessed in your inventory in addition to a Pokémon that totes the move or, particularly for the Surf technique, a surfable Mount.
Differences
The only fundamental difference between the devices is their reusability: TMs are single-use, whereas HMs are infinitely reusable.
HMs are reusable mainly because they encapsulate navigationally essential moves, as a player would possibly end up stranded in an area if they were to replace one of their HM-learned moves and be incapacitated from traversing their way out of the environment.
Contrary to the handheld games, HM-learned moves can be overwritten here.
List of available TMs and HMs
For a list of compatible Pokémon, refer to the individual move page; you can handily access it by clicking on the move-name link on the tables below.

TM-tutors
Main article: TM-tutors
TM-tutors are a subscope of move-tutors wherein TM techniques can be taught to technique-compatible tutees by move-tutors; this is a makeshift impartation for TM devices that are not programmed in—and thus not distributable—at this time. This avenue is employed to augment the pool of available TMs.
TM-tutors are expected to be defunctionalized once their respective techniques are programmed into distributable TM devices.
