As the topic suggests. Which pokemon are you using for surf in ORAS? Also, is it just a HM slave, or an actual member of your party?

As for me, I'd like a Skrelp/Dragalgae. It'd be a part of my team, as well. I'd need to catch another surfer to find a Skrelp, but I'd just box that one straight away.

I'll be sticking to actual party members, but if an HM Slave is needed I may use one. My Swampert can be my resident surfer (even if it's more of a physical attacker but special stats aren't bad either) but I know I may definitely recruit Kyogre in the postgame for the fact I'll be riding on it.

I typically try to use my Starter, always on my team, as the Surf and water-HM move user, but I decided to do different this run and use a Pelipper for Surf in the early game and switch to Kyogre in the late game after I caught it. I wanted to reserve my Swampert's movepool for my Secret Base team.

I have a Gyarados right now that has basically turned into a HM slave (Dive, Waterfall, Surf) but my original intentions for it were to have a nice water Pokemon. Didn't want to have to box another Pokemon so I just stuffed all my water-type HMs onto it.

I taught Surf to my starter, which is Swampert since Surf is part of his final move set.

For now, Linoone...until I find a Feebas and evolve it to Milotic. That's for OR.

For AS, probably Whiscash.

I used my starter, a Swampert, for surfing. Since I had that to use there wasn't really anything else I would have a need to give it to. I had an Azumarill for HMs, but I stuck with Dive and Waterfall for that.

Eh, Alpha Sapphire will go with Kyogre. As for Omega Ruby... I'm conflicted between Sharpedo and Milotic. Maybe Sharpedo post-game? Eh, idk.

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.

I was previously using a Zigzagoon (that eventually became Linoone by virtue of the EXP Share) but since I caught Latias, I gave it Surf. I'll probably be using the Latias as my Surfer for awhile. I'm not really sure where the last two slots on my team are headed so that could change at any point.

When I get the game I will probably play it like I have done previously, and get a Zigzagoon and use that as my initial HM slave. Then move onto others like Sharpedo as soon as I can, especially seeing as it would come in handy for Mossdeep :D

I've been using Sharpedo to surf. Thankfully it has decent special attack (I'll definitely use Waterfall more than Surf once I get it though).

I've never really used Sharpedo in-game before, and I felt that now was a good time to use it due to its special new mechanic: x2 surfing speed! That, plus super repels makes traversing through Hoenn's oceans very convenient.
