HM slaves! Wich pokemon is your HM slave?
The best HM slave is Bibarel! It can learn:
01 Cut 03 Surf 04 Strength 06 Rock Smash 07 Waterfall 08 Rock Climb |
what ever lost soul i catch to be honest! lol so yeah. . . Mostly wild pokemon that is near me, not always the same. |
I hate using HM slaves >_>
Usually I dustribute HMs between the pokemon in my party. Before finishing the legue that is. |
Fail poll is fail.
I use a Linoone as my HM slave simply because it learns a large range of moves and has the ability Pick Up so it provides me with free items all the time. |
Bibarel. In Sinnoh at least.
|
I currently have a Bibarel for Rock Climb, Rock Smash, Strength and Cut
Pelipper for Surf, Defog and Fly Some random Poké for Waterfall |
Who actually uses the starter as a HM slave?
I use a combo of Bibarel & Steelix to get me through most areas, although in the past I have used Linoone and even caught a wild Gyarados/Wailmer for slave purposes |
This may sound strange, but my HM slave is one of my two Mews.
|
Bigoof / Bigbuttel.
Talk about lame nicknames.. |
Bibarel is mine, although it is now sitting in the PC instead of the team slots.
|
Bibarel is truly the best , the one that I use in second is Linoone which can learn up to 3 or 4 HMs from what I know ...
|
Bibarel. It practically learns everything~
I never use Defog and Staraptor has Fly as one of its moves. |
RBY: Krabby. Gets Surf, Cut and Strength, while Fly and especially Flash are uneccessary.
GSC: Poliwag+Chikorita. The thing that sucks is that I always have to evolve one of them for Strength. RSE: Mudkip+Tropius, Zigzagoon before I get Tropius. DPPT: I have no real preference here, I don't play them that often. If my starter (of course if I don't plan to use it) is Turtwig or Chimchar, I need a random water pokemon, or alternatively Pelipper for most of the time and a random other one for the Waterfall stuff. If it's Piplup, I will need a Geodude or Machop instead. If I can't enslave my starter, I will get a Bibarel instead. |
None. I used an Ar code for running through walls. Much more convenient than Hm slaves taking up a team slot.
|
I use Quagsire and Starly as my hm slaves and Budew or bidoof for cut. But Bidoof is a waste of Data
|
hahaha I dont use hm slaves xDDD weird I know.
|
I used a Bibarel, but I always felt like HM Slaves were a waste of Pokemon in my party! T_T
|
I don't use defog never! Because you don't need it! You only need defog in solaceon tower! So catch staravia only to use defog, and put it in your PC after using it!
|
Bibarel, definitely Bibarel, it can learn loads of HMs. I personally don't use an HM slave.
|
*prepares to be shot*
...Giratina. |
On Crystal I'm using Typholosion (strength)/Poliwhirl(surf/waterfall/whirlpool)/Noctowl(fly/flash) as my HM whoars <3 I also use another Pokemon for cut, but it's week.
On Sapphire though I was using Swampert primarily, as it used surf/strength, and I didn't really need to use the other HMs as much, if so, I'd just put a Pokemon in my party that does that - well, I'm using a Flygon for flying, but yeah. Other than that, I only battle with Swampert, so everything else is a HM whoar. Strong Pokemon that can use HMs used to be rare for me when playing games. As I grow older I play with more strategy. XD |
On my Sapphire, I use a Tropius (Cut, Fly, Flash and Rock Smash) and usually a Wailmer for Surf, Waterfall and Dive. I usually give Strength to another Pokemon, as it's a fairly half-decent move in battle.
In other games, however, I seem to distribute the HMs fairly evenly, except for one time when I had a Tentacool with Cut, Surf and Waterfall |
It may be just me, but I think it is a bit cruel to use HM slaves because ater they are used they are usualy dumped in the PC forever. But if I have to have a HM slave mine would be either bidoof or bebariel.
|
In my HG i used Pidgeot Fly, Feraligatr for waterfall, sandshrew for Cut, Rock Climb, Headbutt, Cut and a Quagsire for Surf, Flash, Strength, Whirlpool. covered everything and best thing is Waterfall can be used for battling purposes.
P/Pt Bibarel is my salve with a Staraptor for fly and geodude for whatever else. |
I usually have Bibarel for half and Pelipper for the other half. Excluding Rock Climb, which I have on my Magmar, who doubles as a Magma Armourer.
So yeah, Bibarel is the best. |
R/B/Y: I always use a Bellsprout or Oddish for Cut (and maybe Flash? I forget if they can learn it). Surf and Strength are usually on my main team. Same with Fly, because I'm lazy.
G/S/C: Bellsprout and Oddish for Cut and Flash. Surf, Strength, and Fly are on my main team. I think I usually get a Krabby for Rock Smash, and I use Gyarados for Waterfall and Whirlpool. R/S/E: Linoone/Zigzagoon is pretty awesome. It can use a lot of HMs, and it has Pickup, which is pretty handy. I think I catch a Wailmer for Dive and Whirlpool and Waterfall purposes... was there Whirlpool in these games? I forget. Whatever. D/P/Pt: One word. Bibarel. |
R/S/E: Zigzagoon
D/P/Pt: Bibarel or... *gets shot* Torterra. Torterra was useless to me and I didn't feel like catching a Bibarel, so I just used Torterra as an HM slave with Cut/Strength/Rock Smash/Rock Climb. =D |
R/S/E: Zigzagoon. Never bothered to catch Linoone.
FR/LG: I use a variety of things for this. Apparently Aerodactyl is a pretty good slave, and Gyarados isn't too bad either. D/P/Pt: A Bibarel and my Mantine, which is my Surf/Waterfall/Defog slave. Bibarel does everything else. |

I usually use Bibarel, but I'm thinking about using multiple Smeargle, keeping all of them but the one I need for the Route(s) I'm on in storage. |

Before i beat the League i have them Evenly Distributed though out my party ? i did not people taught them all to one pokemon seems kinda cruel and silly :O
|
I only use HM slaves when doing Mono-runs (usually, my favorite type can't use all the HMs I need). When I do use slaves, I usually skip the trouble and hack a Dragonite :P
But yeah, normal games means no HM slaves. |
Hmmm...2 ways I have HMSlaves:
Mew-If I get mine cloned, 2 cover all my HMs. However, my current method on Platinum: -Dragonite-Fly/Defog/Surf/Waterfakk -Garchomp-Rock Smash/Rock Climb/Cut/Strength |
In Emerald, I use Linoone for my HM Buddy (HM slave sounds harsh) i can learn Cut, Rock smash, strength and surf.
|
I usually don't use HM slaves either. Surf, Fly and Strength i just teach to Pokemon in my party, they are okay moves, so i don't really care. If i need some other HM, ill just get a Pokemon, teach it to him, and drop him again in the next city
|
First starters, honestly, I hate the term "slave" (to rude and insulting in my opinion) I call them "HM Partners" or "HM Companions".
I only use 4 HM's - 2 a lot (Cut and Surf - two other are Fly and Strenght) • Soul Silver I have not yet decided. • Pearl, I have not yet decided on cut, Buizel is my main water Pokemon, and surf is one of my favorite water attacks, not just for HM, also a regular move. for my Unova games • Cut: my Liepard - its always part of the team • Fly: Unfezant - usually in the PC • Strenght: a Mienfoo - not the one I use in my team, but one in the PC • Surf: Dewott - not just HM, I keep as a regular move too other HM's I don't use, unless I really need them, I"ll search whom ever I have in the PC and is compatible with the HM. |
