Summary

HM05 (Hidden Machine 05) is an item in the Pokémon video game series that teaches a specific move to a Pokémon. The move associated with HM05 varies across different generations of games:

  1. Generation I (Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow): HM05 teaches the move Flash. Flash decreases the target's accuracy by one stage and is also used to light up dark caves outside of battle.
  2. Generation II-V (Pokémon Gold/Silver to Black/White): HM05 again teaches Flash. However, starting in Generation II, the move was no longer necessary to navigate certain dark areas, as players could often acquire items like the Black Glasses to achieve similar effects.
  3. Generation III (Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald): In addition to its traditional use, HM05 continues to teach Flash, maintaining its dual functionality.
  4. **Generation IV (Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum):
