How to Get Cut in Pokémon Emerald

Last Updated: October 8, 2020

In each Pokémon game the HM Cut is hidden. You can use it to unlock hidden items and to progress in the game. The puzzle, however, is finding the HM. Since it's in a different location in each game, it can be troublesome to find.

Steps

1
Go to Rustboro City (the city where the first gym leader, Roxanne is).
2
Go to the house next to the Pokémon Center.

3
Talk to the man next to the table (the man is the only guy in the house).
- The guy you talk to will give you the HM Move Cut.
4
Cut down the little trees in the game using it (cutting the little trees access hidden places and treasures).

Zigzagoon is the best choice, since it can learn most HM's. The only ones it cannot use are: Waterfall and Dive.

You have to go to the gym, which is in the same town. Follow the white chalk path to the north and you'll see it after 20 steps on the right side.

I can't cut after getting HM cut. Why is this?

You may need a badge to use certain HMs outside of battle so that might be the problem.
