    With Zigzagoon sitting in my party (HM Slave) she eventually evolved into Linoone which I taught Surf after my fifth gym badge to cross the water on Route 118 and receive the Good Rod.

    On the same route I caught myself a Carvanha (now a Sharpedo) so I use him to surf since he's a member of my team.
    Having his own surfing sprite and increased speed when surfing just makes its even better!

  • Eh, Alpha Sapphire will go with Kyogre. As for Omega Ruby... I'm conflicted between Sharpedo and Milotic. Maybe Sharpedo post-game? Eh, idk.

    Or I can always go with Linoone, but Covet...

    Or I can go with my old Water HM (+Flash) slave Lombre, but I'll need to evolve the Lotad I was traded.

    Okay, so here's how it ended up in Omega Ruby:

    Linoone: Temporary Surf Slave 'til I caught Feebas
    Milotic: Surf as one of her main attacks
    Sharpedo: Deleted Milotic's Surf to replace it with Ice Beam, so I used him instead to navigate through the huge water routes of Hoenn.
    Taught Milotic again: Because I want to go to my Secret Base freely <<

    Swampert (I have it as a temporary HM slave, until I end exploring), but it will be removed as soon as I don't need it for going on. Then it'll be a random one, or a pokemon with good sp.att.

    I normally used Pelliper, Ludicolo or Milotic, but I still don't have any of those.

  • Ludicolo is the only Hoenn Pokémon capable of learning Surf that I never really used before (aside from Crawdaunt, a Pokémon I've always disliked), so that ended up being my Surfer as well as the reason I got Alpha Sapphire.

    Now that I've beaten the Elite Four, however, I have 2 Surfers on my team: Wartortle and Lapras (both Shiny).

  • I've recently caught a Feebas which I've taught Surf. I personally think it was a good move, considering it will be a permanent member of my team!

    I was using an Azumarill I caught as a Marill for this type of thing, but now I'm using Latias, since she's replaced the Trapinch I was going to have on my team and...eh, Surf is a good move. It means I don't have to keep swapping team members out now as well, since there is a lot of Surfing in my future.

    I was using Milotic who was a part of my main team until I decided to toy around with a random Huge Power Azumarill that I found, but quickly switched back as I couldn't be bothered to grind him up to the right levels.

  • Linoone up until the fourth gym, since then it had to share the role with Tentacool (occasionally Wailmer) up until I reached the League, then it became all Tentacool up to the present.

  • I'm using my Swampert for surf. Surf is probably the best HM for battle since most of the HM moves suck in battle. I prefer it to Hydro Pump because well Hydro Pump is stronger, at least this has 100% accuracy.
