I use a wailmur. Maybe one day ill evolve it.

Altairis November 29th, 2014 1:39 PM

I gave Milotic both Waterfall and Surf because I didn't have anything else to replace Waterfall with. I used a Wailmer slave for Dive.

TwilightBlade November 29th, 2014 2:43 PM

I used Azumarill and Latias at some point during the story. My surfing Pokemon is now Sharpedo for the speed.

Bellsprout November 29th, 2014 5:28 PM

I went with Walrein. Back in rse Walrein was a favorite of mine and just a typical staple of my teams then. So it felt like betrayal using any other hoenn water type. Plus I really missed Walrein... I've been trying to avoid using any third generation Pokemon since the end of the sinnoh games so I could be hyped up for this remake loool

Nakala Pri November 29th, 2014 6:47 PM

Well, currently I'm using my Linoone. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for a Water type. :( Maybe I'll get a Walrein, too! :^D

Legobricks November 30th, 2014 10:20 AM

Good question. Given this is Hōen, I'll be spending a lot of time with my choice. I decided upon Gorebyss yesterday or so but I don't know what I'll do for Waterfall and Dive... probably Wailord; that might be fun, and it can be the initial surfer for a time since I'll be diving for Clamperls.

keranie November 30th, 2014 10:27 AM

Sharpedo cause he's fast :)

Oddi November 30th, 2014 1:32 PM

I have my precious Slowking surfing for me, with my Poliwrath for dive and waterfall

Kameken November 30th, 2014 1:38 PM

I ended up spending two hours in area nav looking for a speed boost carvahna, and now use it as a sharpedo for all water-based transportation.

Red_wolf1998 November 30th, 2014 4:48 PM

Me and my Linoone (aptly named HM ******) don't get along too well, he can have all of the HM's.

Sheep December 1st, 2014 10:59 AM

I used my trusty Zigzagoon as a surfer up until I caught Wailmer, which is the 'mon I surf on now. Reaaaally need to get a water type to use on my team but I didn't feel like teaching anyone HMs like Waterfall and Dive so I ended up keeping him as an all-around slave, heheh.

Creator Limbs December 1st, 2014 12:03 PM

I'm using Tentacruel for Waterfall, Surf, and Dive. It's an HM slave.

HMs aren't necessarily bad but I rarely use those moves for anything other than the games obstacles...

Dedenne1 December 1st, 2014 4:05 PM

When i originally played the original games i found it difficult i had to fish for a water type which i believe ended up being tentacool or goldeen i think i used both haha. For Oras i used swampert who is my contest star but i did take him off the team and im training a sealeo although im happy dive is back its kinda bothersome that it needs to know 3 water type moves (surf, waterfall, dive). Which only leaves 1 move for itself unless u have someone else on ur team that can learn surf ik some other than water types can learn it.

ArcanineWithABow December 1st, 2014 6:36 PM

My water type on my team always learns Surf...it's like the only HM I would teach my Pokemon.

At this time it's a cross between Milotic and Gyarados.

Starry Windy December 1st, 2014 11:19 PM

I'll use my Linoone to Surf with me if I'll get the TM soon, just like what I did in my X playthrough.

ΩRαS December 2nd, 2014 4:48 AM

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!

starseed galaxy auticorn December 2nd, 2014 7:45 AM

Kyogre is an awesome surfer and diver too, so I'll be using him. :3 I got him in a trade from GTS, and I adore him so much!

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 <<

elife December 2nd, 2014 11:39 AM

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.

icycatelf December 2nd, 2014 11:48 AM

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).

Kikaito plush December 3rd, 2014 8:56 AM

I am using an Swampert as my surf pokemon

curiousnathan December 4th, 2014 8:14 PM

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!

Pepperton December 5th, 2014 3:03 PM

Currently I'm using Latias, but I'm going to catch a Horsea as soon as I can acquire the Super Rod.

pkmin3033 December 5th, 2014 11:16 PM

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.

SparklingMistral December 12th, 2014 6:19 PM

I used Tentacruel on my first hall of fame team. I wanted to use Gyarados, but I ended up finding Tentacool first, so I just went with that. Zigzagoon's become the Surfer for my second hall of fame team.
