Had any TM's or HM's been hold in the anime?

Question

I know that a TM and HM looks like a little disc and i started wondering, did a Pokemon trainer ever hold a TM/HM? If so can you please give me a picture.

Answer 1

Though we've never seen any TMs or HMs in the main animated series that follows the journey of Ash or Liko and Roy, a few have appeared in the animated miniseries Pokémon Origins, which follows closely to the plot of Pokémon Red and Green.

In the first episode, File 1: Red, Red receives TM34 (Bide) as a reward from Brock for defeating him in his Gym.

In the next episode, File 2: Cubone, Red retrieves the TM28 (Dig) from a Team Rocket Grunt who'd stolen it.

In the same episode, Red receives HM01 (Cut) after helping the captain of the S.S. Anne recover from seasickness.

It might also be worth mentioning that in the special Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!, TMs are referenced in the Japanese version, where, as Bulbapedia puts it,

While talking with the Kecleon Brothers, Charmander of Team Go-Getters mentioned TMs among other things the Kecleon Shop was sold out on. This reference was not included in the dub.

ya should know.

Answer 3

no, there aren't
I've watched lots and lots of animes since ho-oh first came out(1st episode)
but I couldn't see any tm/hm discs.
Also, Ash's pikachu learned iron tail which it can learn by tm, naturally.
I searched in bulbapedia for tm, but there was no category for anime

Answer 4

I think he does, since some of his Pokémon will suddenly know moves that they didn’t show before, like his heracross learning sleep talk, hyper beam, and focus punch, or his pignite learning brick break, gliscor learning stone edge, charizard learning dragon tail, palpitoad learning sludge wave, etc. Its too much to just write these off as learning naturally. Heracross forgot focus punch and learned hyper beam during the sinnoh league, where it also showed that it learned focus punch and sleep talk.

He asked if they ever held one, not used one
