Pokemon TMs and HMs are machines that can teach Pokemon various moves. Pokemon TM stands for Technical Machine, which is essentially a CD that can be given to Pokemon to teach them different moves.
Pokemon HMs, on the other hand, stands for Hidden Machines, which are almost identical to Pokemon TMs with a couple of differences. This guide details everything you need about HMs and TMs in Pokemon Red, Yellow, and Blue.
While the Pokemon HMs can be taught to multiple Pokemon, a TM can only be taught one at a time. However, one thing to note here is that TMs can be bought multiple times and taught to various Pokemon.
You need to make sure that both a TM and a Pokemon must be compatible, otherwise the move will not be learnt! This guide details the locations of all TMs and HMs in Pokemon Red, Yellow, and Blue along with the buying cost of the purchasable ones:
