I use a heliolisk competitively and for surfing. I still need a sharpedo though, I love that pokemon.

Merkunator January 11th, 2015 6:45 AM

Tentacruel is my HM slave. Surf, Dive, Waterfall, Cut

Alfieri January 11th, 2015 7:17 AM

I used Milotic but after I beat the game, I switch between Sharpedo for speed and Kyogre because I like its overworld model.

Izzie January 11th, 2015 8:28 AM

My shiny Milotic, Erishana, is my surfing Pokémon =) she was actually the first Pokémon I raised to lvl 100 in Alpha Sapphire as well ^^

I'm kinda in the same situation as this, given the Swampert I'm using has a +Sp. Atk nature, making me go down a more mixed route with him. I may end up switching the moveset once I get access to Lilycove's Move Deleter though.

Kyogre is my surf buddy. It was Latias before though.

I just used my Swampert for Surf but now I really wish I'd taught Surf to my Linoone instead because all of Swampert's moves are HM moves (Surf, Dive, Waterfall).

I used Gyarados for Surf for quite a while, before changing it to Feraligatr.

SvelteDonut January 13th, 2015 2:32 PM

I Surf on my Latios in OR and Latias in AS. I used to have surf on Greninja but have since replaced it with Waterfall.

I tend to use a real teammate in most games for HMs (excluding WhiteTwo. I wasnmt saying no to a free Zorua and lost my last team placement. XD) and went with Linoone. He's pretty boss too, alnog with Double Edge and Stength. XD
My Swampert gets taught Dive whenever I need it but gets retaught Return whenever I don't. :3
I... I think Swampert had Waterfall for a while there as well. =w=U

I've never in my life used a slave for surf.
Here in Alpha Sapphire as is my version I'm using my Seaking which has been a solid member of my now level 41-42 team since it's capture as level 5 Goldeen when I'd first arrived in Mauville. At least for now, I may switch it up sometime from now (Fortree) to Victory Road.

The only HMs I use slaves for are Rock Smash and sometimes strength. Possibly waterfall if a water type team member doesn't naturally learn it. Though for the first time I've actually managed to fit Rock Smash on my team with my Mightyena.

LyokoGirl5000 January 23rd, 2015 10:41 PM

I had my Ludicolo learn Surf. Swampert doesn't have the stats for it and I usually have two Water Types in Hoenn games anyway. Ludicolo is part of my main team. It was the first one I found and it has Teeter Dance. {<3}

haha what Heliolisk can learn surf??

Also I might be a bit late to the party but I was exploring the sea routes the other day and discovered that if you Dive with a Wailmer then there's actually a special sprite for it! Pretty cool.

Baggie_Saiyan January 25th, 2015 1:44 PM

I took Metang out my team and made Sharpedo my HM slave and poor Metang is still at 32 and Sharpedo is nearly at 60 lol Idk for some reason I don't care much for the Metagross family.

Pichu1236 February 7th, 2015 4:35 PM

As funny as it sounds I use my Hariyama. I was thinking about using an HM slave because i didn't have a water type but then i found out that Hariyama could use it.

Also i know its terrible on Hariyama because its a physical attacker but i just thought it was so hilarious at the time.

Yes, Heliolisk can indeed learn Surf. I remember giving it that for my Normal Monotype in Y back in July...

And my most recent go of Alpha Sapphire had me alternating between Swampert and Tentacruel for Surf, dropping the moves from another when I felt they weren't necessary. I mostly had it for the latter because it had higher Special Attack (and a Quiet nature, for that matter).

Yep! I had one in X that I used to surf around since I didn't want to give Surf to my Greninja.

As for ORAS, I use my Gyarados in AS and I used Barboach/Wailmer/Tentacruel in OR. Not sure why I have so many water Pokemon in OR o.o

SiriusDusk February 13th, 2015 4:17 PM

ExeggutorTrainer February 14th, 2015 6:33 PM

Powerserge February 14th, 2015 10:02 PM

Ludicolo. I use him competitively, so it works out well.

alzam February 15th, 2015 9:05 AM

Venitardus February 15th, 2015 9:50 AM

Well, I don't use Swampert in any competitive battling, and I had a full team by the time I got surf, so I just thought it to him so I didn't have to switch out a pokemon each time I wanted/needed to use surf. ;)

Drakonaait February 19th, 2015 12:49 PM

My shiny Sharpedo, I love that he has a custom sprite. It's rather unfortune that a shiny Sharpedo doesn't have a custom sprite.. :(
