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.

Eon-Rider January 20th, 2010 7:13 AM

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.

Jack Surge January 20th, 2010 7:21 AM

Bibarel. In Sinnoh at least.

DasherPunch January 20th, 2010 9:30 AM

I currently have a Bibarel for Rock Climb, Rock Smash, Strength and Cut
Pelipper for Surf, Defog and Fly
Some random Poké for Waterfall

Soul Silver January 20th, 2010 9:32 AM

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

Crystal-Heart January 20th, 2010 9:37 AM

This may sound strange, but my HM slave is one of my two Mews.

RTHookers January 20th, 2010 11:54 AM

Bigoof / Bigbuttel.

Talk about lame nicknames..

DGexe January 20th, 2010 11:58 AM

Bibarel is mine, although it is now sitting in the PC instead of the team slots.

560cool. January 20th, 2010 12:14 PM

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 ...

BHwolfgang January 20th, 2010 2:17 PM

Bibarel. It practically learns everything~

I never use Defog and Staraptor has Fly as one of its moves.

mondays suck January 20th, 2010 2:37 PM

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.

Jayster23 January 20th, 2010 9:16 PM

I use Quagsire and Starly as my hm slaves and Budew or bidoof for cut. But Bidoof is a waste of Data

GlitchCity January 21st, 2010 3:00 PM

hahaha I dont use hm slaves xDDD weird I know.

umbreon_4_life January 22nd, 2010 3:53 PM

I used a Bibarel, but I always felt like HM Slaves were a waste of Pokemon in my party! T_T

TheSeviper January 25th, 2010 8:24 AM

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!

Hospitaller January 25th, 2010 8:46 AM

Bibarel, definitely Bibarel, it can learn loads of HMs. I personally don't use an HM slave.

futsukushi January 26th, 2010 1:47 PM

*prepares to be shot*

...Giratina.

Ho-Oh January 28th, 2010 5:32 AM

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

Brendino January 29th, 2010 1:09 AM

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

curiousnathan January 29th, 2010 1:28 AM

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.

Lockmaster24 January 29th, 2010 2:12 AM

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.

Myles January 29th, 2010 2:58 AM

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.
