Do you have a HM slave? Why do you use this certian pokemon?

I transfered my Bibarel from platinum because it was such a great Hm slave! Now that i think of it, it can learn any HM move exsept fly... i think ^^".

I don't have an HM slave. I never saw the point to it. Some Pokemon are fit for certain HM moves, and they fit them very nicely and are good moves for the Pokemon. So, I don't have one. I think it's unnecessary. :)

I usually use like two Pokemon for battling throughout the game, so I always catch myself an HM slave. My last HM slave was Machop.

I always use Bibarel back in DPPt, but in HGSS, I think it's my Red Gyarados. I don't really like Gyarados that much.

I don't see much point with this thread being HG/SS exclusive, really (and there's the 'What's your team?' thread already which people can mention it in anyway), so hence into General Pokemon Gaming it goes so people can talk about HM slaves in many other games as well. *punts thread*

D/P/Pt seemed to often be Biberal for most tasks (I usually went through Fog, not bothering to waste a space for Fog Clear), Gligar was also a decent one. In HG/SS, Mixture of Rattata and Quagsire, mostly. Gyarados does have potential though. XD

Gee, thanks b&b. :( Just kidding. I usually don't carry my HM slave around with me, but in my Platinum file, since I only had four party members, I had a Bibarel and a Staravia. In HGSS, I don't really have an HM slave. I don't mind Strength, Surf, Waterfall, or Fly as much as I do the weaker moves. But, my Typhlosion has Cut, which I really want to scrap now. It was decent at the beginning of the game, but now it's in the way and I had to get rid of Smokescreen to teach Went Earthquake.

As for older games, I typically don't have one, especially for RBY. There's only 5 HMs, and the most unecessary are at the beginning of the game where you don't have your entire team assembled, so there's room for a Cutter or Flasher.

I usually use Machop. He has potential so I don't mind keeping around as a HM slave, but I really don't have much use for him other than that.

I usually use Bibarel too :D
Of course, if it is unobtainable for some reason, I will use a Golduck.

I usually have an HM slave. I just don't like the restrictions teaching an HM to a Pokémon I actually use causes. It takes way to much effort to delete an HM move so teaching most of them to Pokémon I don't care about makes sense to me.

Back when I was playing yellow on the gbc, I thought Cut was such a cool move so it would always go to my charmander.

Now I just have different pokemon with different HM's. Cut for Paras, Strength for Machop, etc.

I've mentioned before that Smeargle is the one I use. Except in Generation two Kanto obviously.

Red Blue Yellow I did not have HM Slaves. Charizard had Fly, Weepinbell had Cut, Golem/Graveler had Strength. and the bazillion water guys had Surf.

Gold Silver Crystal had mantine with Whirlpool, Lapras as main Surf, Kingler with Rock Smash and Strength, Crobat/Kenya/Xatu with Fly. Farfetch'd had Cut.

Ruby Sapphire Emerald is when I had serious fun.
Smeargle: Fly, Surf, Dive, Cut. Absol with Rock Smash. Linoone with Strength. Had Surf on others. They were lower than Smeargle in my lineup. Chinchou with Flash. Also use the Tentacool/Tropius.

Diamond Pearl Platty has Smeargle. Fly, Surf, Rock Climb, Defog. Nincada with False Swipe, Cut, Dig. Strength on Machop.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Usually if I do, I have more than one HM Slave though, as obviously one cannot hold them all.

I ALWAYS get HM slaves because I can't take it when my Charizard still has a newby move like Cut on his moveset.>:
On Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, I had either a Bibareal or a Mew (<cheated in case of laziness) as my HM slave.:3

I have never used them up until when D/P came out! It was so tough to keep a level advantage and I needed to use every single move slot or else I would get beaten constantly. I did catch a Bibarel after the 3rd gym and use it as an hm slave. :( I wish I didn't have to, but the game's main story is much tougher for me than before.

I have a starly that I used to use often just for fly. But then I started using Wingull and starly is no longer my flying pokemon.

I used Rampardos for my HM slave-it could learn all the HM moves I needed for gameplay except for waterfall.
