How to Get Rid of HMs in Pokemon: Sapphire

The third generation of "Pokemon" games, "Ruby Version" and "Sapphire Version," introduced the Move Deleter to the lineup of useful nonplayer characters. The Move Deleter can make a Pokemon forget any move it has learned -- even moves learned from Hidden Machines, or HMs. These important moves are crucial to advancing in the game by removing obstacles such as rocks and fallen trees. However, the game makes it impossible for Pokemon to forget such moves without the aid of a Move Deleter.
