Is there a Pokemon that can only learn a HM or TM move through leveling up?

OK I ran some tests on our database to come up with this list for Black & White:

Unownlearns Hidden Power by level, but not TM.WynautandWobbuffetlearn Safeguard by level, but not TM.Kricketotlearns Struggle Bug by level, but not TM.Burmylearns Hidden Power and Protect by level, but not TM.Tynamolearns Charge Beam and Thunder Wave by level, but not TM.

There are several more for Gen 4 as well - mainly Pokemon that can learn Light Screen, Reflect or Safeguard via egg move. But also a couple others such as Totodile and Dragon Claw. But their evolutions can learn them so not sure any of these count.

Bulbapedia/ Incompatible Pokemon

TakeTynamo

He learns Thunder Wave & Charge Beam as starting moves. However, he is not able to be taught Thunder Wave via TM73 or Charge Beam via TM57___That’s as close as i can get to your criteria.

Many Pokemon learn HMs/TMs through leveling up, salamence learning fly at level 50 is an example, if you want a full list just ask.
