In Pokémon Insurgence, the player is able to complete their journey without needing to teach their Pokémon HMs. This is achieved through two separate replacement methods. The first method features Key Items which serve as a replacement for the HM in question. The second method features a list of certain moves which can be used in place of the attack that previously would use the HM's effect outside of battle. These moves are obtainable through both TMs and by leveling up certain Pokémon. To prevent the player from potentially reaching an impasse during a challenge run, HMs that are essential for storyline progression will always be available via Key Item.
