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.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 13th, 2014 1:21 AM

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.

Mesty92 December 13th, 2014 3:16 AM

I had Gyrados and he was an actual team member. I switched him for the Elite 4 though.

Warspirit December 14th, 2014 4:23 PM

I'm going to be using my Gyarados since he is already a member of my team and he needs a water move. I would use zigzagoon but nah.

Gardevoir the Dragon Slayer December 15th, 2014 9:56 AM

I used Hariyama, I didn't want a water pokemon in my party on this play through so Hariyama was perfect.

PlatinumDude December 15th, 2014 10:05 AM

I had Lombre as a Surfer for the water section in Route 118, but I switched to Latias.

Mawa December 15th, 2014 11:30 AM

For now I have Linoon (surf, cut, strenght and rock smash) but I will switch it when I need dive and others water type HM

ChikoritaCheezits December 15th, 2014 11:51 AM

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.

Nusdogg December 16th, 2014 5:12 PM

I'm using my awesome Kyogre. :D Thing looks beast even when it's surfing.

ZenonPrototype December 17th, 2014 8:30 AM

I am currently using a Sharpedo (hate me all you want), because he's way faster than any of the other surf-enabled Pokemon and his surf sprite is awesome.

same thing in my case.
I use a pickup team, that focuses on ability>power.

Unfortunately, there aren't any pickups that can learn dive or waterfall; so, i'm using a wailmer as a hm slave for those.

EagleVision1999 December 17th, 2014 4:49 PM

Omega Rubin was strange because this is like the first game where I didn't have room for an hm slave. This is because I've assembled my team early on (via the wonders of Pokemon Bank). On Y I got a shiny Mudkip via Wondertrade (seems perfectly legit...I sure hope the trader in question liked my EM Dream Ball Ponyta) and used this as my water Pokemon straight from the beginning (well, as soon as I got to the first Pokemon center). So my surfer is my (now) Swampert.
I keep meaning to try out Sharpedo, but...well I'd have to train it first.

Queen Crobat January 6th, 2015 7:15 PM

I might teach my Milotic surf, since it's a decent water type move in battle, but I have a 5 Pokemon team and a permanent space for an hm slave. I have a heracross for rock smash, cut, and strength (plus secret power), and I'll use a Walmer for the other water hms (dive and waterfall), but I'm not sure what happens when you dive if one pokemon knows surf and a different one knows dive...

Stormerbuzz35 January 6th, 2015 10:16 PM

Using Zigzagoon as HM slave. Gna get a random Sharpedo to take over though with surf, dive and waterfall.

ReiXMinako January 6th, 2015 10:21 PM

I've been using the Sharpedo from the Aqua grunt. It really helps out when I'm collecting flags. Although I recently hit 1000+ flags, so I probably won't be doing much of that anymore...

Starry Windy January 7th, 2015 1:09 AM

Currently I've been switching my Surfing user from Linoone to Sharpedo, which I got from the Aqua grunt. It's pretty decent because it's one of the fastest surfer around.

Shishoki January 7th, 2015 3:03 PM

I use Sharpedo as an HM slave. It can learn all water HM's as well as Strength and Rock Smash. It's also fast which I like because anything under the mach bike speed annoys me

Frozocrone January 7th, 2015 6:01 PM

I will be using my Latias on my AS playthrough, even with my Swampert (all physical set for him).

On my OR game, I currently have Linoone as a HM Slave, packing Cut, Rock Smash, Strength and Surf

PeckanPie January 7th, 2015 6:59 PM

Got me that HM Slave Zigzagoon at the start in AS.

I'm going to try not to use an HM Slave for my OR run if I do it normally though. May have to if I do something like a solo play through or nuzlocke of some sort.

LilyAnn January 7th, 2015 9:53 PM

I have just been using my Greninja for surf xD It was the only water type I had available to use for surf. At some point I'll probably switch it for another pokemon so I can teach it better moves.

faf January 7th, 2015 10:00 PM

Used Zigzagoon from start to finish since I was only doing a solo run in Omega Ruby.

Yeeeeeeeeah!

For Alpha Sapphire, I might have Ludicolo for Surf since I'm planning on a Grass mono team.

dad January 8th, 2015 4:30 PM

right now its lombre (my hm slave) but i might teach it to my whiscash whenever i catch a shiny barboach. i think lombre is pretty good for teaching everything, i think he knows strength, rock smash, surf and dive.

Alumens January 10th, 2015 4:35 AM

My Swampert will do! I usually give Surf to all water starters since their special attack is not that bad

Tek January 10th, 2015 12:56 PM

Gyarados and Skarmory are my Hoenn HM Buddies. I've got all the field moves between the two of them.

jombii January 10th, 2015 7:10 PM

Swampert is my go-to surfer as it is a part of my team now. However, if I acquire Waterfall, I think I'll be going with it on my Swampy and give Surf to Wailmer as an HM Slave.
