Obtaining Cut in Pokémon Emerald

To get HM01 Cut, go to Rustboro City. Enter the house directly to the left of the Pokémon Center. Talk to the man sitting at the table, and he'll give you HM01 Cut. Teach Cut to a Pokémon so you can cut down the small trees blocking certain paths.

1. 1 Go to Rustboro City. This is the city where the first gym leader, Roxanne, is.
2. 2 Go to the house to the left of the Pokémon Center. There's a man with brown hair and red suit walking around near the house. Advertisement
3. 3 Talk to the man sitting at the table. He's got brown hair and a red shirt, and he's one of two people in the house. You don't need to talk to the girl standing by the sink.[1]
   • After you speak to the man, he'll give you the HM01 Cut.[2]
4. 4 Cut down the little trees that block certain paths using Cut. You've probably noticed a few spots where short trees were blocking your path. With Cut, you can chop those trees down and access new areas to find items and treasure.
   • To use Cut, simply interact with the trees. You must teach Cut to a Pokémon first, however.
     • To teach a Pokémon to use Cut, open your Bag and scroll to the TMs & HMs section.
     • Scroll until you find Cut, then select Use.
     • Choose the Pokémon you want to teach Cut to.
     • Confirm that you want to teach Cut to that Pokémon.
     • Choose a move to replace, if necessary. A Pokémon can only know four moves at a time.
