3rd Gen Who became your most reliable HM slave?! (Besides Mew and other legendaries)

[punyeta]

^, Mine's Marill since i taught her all water HM's and Rock Smash. She can also learn a bunch of other HM's except for fly i think Tell me yours guys!! :))

 

[Heracles4]

ZigZagoon I'm pretty sure

 

[Treecko]

In the RSE, it would be Zigzagoon or Linoone since they can learn Cut , Surf and Rock Smash (Linoone can also learn Strength)

 

[Bounsweet]

As much as I love Linoone, they make awesome HM slaves because their ability is great for toting them around the region, too.

Tropius makes a really good one too, it can learn Cut, Fly, Strength, Flash, and Rock Smash.

 

[vaporeon7]

From personal experience, some really good HM slaves are Tropius, Linoone, Azumarill, Pelipper, Golduck and Skarmory. You can cover all of the HMs by using a combo of two of them.

 

[Kikaito plush]

I think my most useful HM slave was Zigzagoon and Linoone.

 

[Fuyuki~]

Tropius is by far the best HM Slave out of all the Pokemon for land HMs, let alone 3rd Gen. Wailord is the best for Water HMs.

 

[Correspondence]

Linoone and Wailord was what i mostly used.

 

[Seraphimon-sama]

Slavinator was always my HM Slave with the exact moveset of Cut, Rock Smash, Strength and Surf.

 

[Shiny]

I think I just incorporated HM's into my team, by giving each pokemon one HM so I could have a full team of six pokemon.

 

[Don Bastio]

in FR i would have meowth and i would teach it a couple HMs and use its ability to randomly find items so i wouldn't have to use item finder constantly to get berries. i also would use pay day combined with amulet coin to get money also. its pretty versatile for non-battle related stuff.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

For me I would use Gyarados as my primary water HM slave giving Gyarados the moves Surf, Waterfall, Dive and Strength. I was never found of Gyarados to begin with. As for my primary land HM slave I would use Linoone because it learned Cut, Strength, Rock Smash and I gave it Surf as well....I was also never too found of Linoone as well.

[Sydian]

I love Linoone, but it's also a great HM slave and it picks up stuff. Sorry, buddy. :(

 

[SilverAbsol]

Strangely enough I made my Ludicolo into a HM slave. Which is odd because she became my favourite Pokemon for a long time and my champion Beauty contest winner.

 

[Brendino]

My main HM slave in Sapphire was always Tropius. It would generally have Cut, Flash, Fly and Rock Smash. Funny enough, I remember my other HM slave from my original run on Sapphire was Kyogre. I was already at the point where I didn't want to use Legendaries on my team, but I justified it as being okay to use since it could learn the other four HMs. Looking back, I feel awful for making a legendary one of my HM slaves.

 

[Feebas]

Mine is Azumarill, I use it for Surf, Rock Smash, and Strength.

 

[LightningAlex]

Definitely Wailmer, I use it every time as a HM slave. It can learn Surf, Waterfall, Strength & Rock Smash.

 

[BLOOOD-La-ti-]

Hariyama was.

It learned Surf,Rock smash,and Strength.

It's not really an hm slave,I still train it.

 

[Zapperz]

I used Pelipper alot as HM slave for surf/fly. saves my party slots
also use gyrados for strength rocksmash waterfall

 

[Mr. Magius]

I think it started off as Zigzagoon, then ended up being Tropius... it's been yeaaarss.
