Within
Pokemon FireRed, there are seven different HMs (Hidden Machines) to obtain during your journey. HMs work a lot like
TMs in that they are moves that can be taught to your Pokemon; however, unlike TMs, HMs last forever and even can be used in the overworld. Obtaining all of the HMs will also be vital, since you won't be able to complete the entire
Main Story &
Post Game without them.
HM01 is none other than the move known as Cut. HM Cut can be obtained from the SS Anne Captain while the cruise ship is still docked in the
Vermilion City Harbor. With HM Cut, you will be able to challenge the
Vermilion City Gym, access to
Route 9, and challenge the
Celadon City Gym. You will even need HM Cut to open the
Dotted Hole Entrance much later in the
Post Game.
