I	Red/Blue/Yellow	SS Anne in Vermilion City	Received from the captain of the SS Anne.
II	Gold/Silver/Crystal	Ilex Forest	Received from a Charcoal Kiln’s apprentice after helping him.
III	Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, FireRed/LeafGreen	Rustboro City, SS Anne in Vermilion City	Received from Cutter in his house. Similar to Gen I, from the captain of the SS Anne.
IV	Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver	Eterna City, Ilex Forest	Received from Cynthia after defeating the Eterna Gym. Similar to Gen II, from the apprentice in Ilex Forest.
V	Black/White, Black 2/White 2	Striaton City, Virbank Complex	Received from Fennel after saving her Munna. Received from Roxie’s father after defeating her.
VI	X/Y, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire	Parfum Palace, Rustboro City	Found in the gardens of Parfum Palace. Similar to Gen III, from Cutter in his house.
VII	Sun/Moon, Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, Let’s Go, Pikachu!/Let’s Go, Eevee!	N/A	The HM system is replaced by Ride Pokémon. Secret Techniques replace HMs.
VIII	Sword/Shield, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus	N/A	No HMs; terrain obstacles are overcome by other means. Similar to original Gen IV games. Uses a different system for interacting with the environment.
IX	Scarlet/Violet	N/A	No HMs; a new system of “Ride Pokémon” provides similar functionality.

Generations VII to IX: The HM system was replaced in Generation VII with new mechanics like Ride Pokémon in “Sun and Moon”, “Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon”, and “Scarlet/Violet”, and Secret Techniques in “Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!”.

These changes were made to make gameplay smoother by removing the need for HM moves to be carried by Pokémon in the player’s party for navigation and obstacle removal.

Conclusion

The HM Cut is a must-move for every Pokemon player, and it brings an enormous help not only in cutting down blocking trees but also during a battle. Plenty of Pokemon can learn cut and not just the grass type Pokemon.

Can Sandile use cut???

- Hey Lewis, thanks for coming here. Unfortunately Sandile cannot learn the move Cut through normal gameplay means, such as leveling up, TMs, or HMs. Sandile has sharp pointed claws, but strangely it cannot learn the move. 🤔
