    ...or do you's have an HM slave?

    (Sorry if posted in wrong section)
     
    I have slaves for the useless ones like rock smash and cut but I usually have at least one HM for everyone on my team.
     
    This is in the wrong place. But never mind, I'll move it for you for a cookie.
     
    I used to implement em but now there;s as many as there is I tend to go with a Slave, some I implement in my team though, like surf.
     
    Only if my HM slave is full/don't have any other ones that can learn the HM.
     
    I usually implement them, but if it's an HM that it only used for one part of the game, then it's on an HM slave. I usually have one for as long as I can.
     
    I have a slave for the worthless moves like Cut, Rock Smash, etc. But I integrate the better ones like Fly, Surf, etc into my team, most of the time. Right now I only have Fly and Rock Climb taught to the Pokemon I actually use, because those are the only two I use on a regular basis in the areas I travel.
     
    I just work them into my main battling team. I'd rather have six battle-ready pokemon to cover more variety than five battle-ready pokemon and one HM slave just filling up space...especially in later generations where you'll need HMs to fully explore everything at all times. XD

    HMs slaves are pretty pointless anyways. It's not like the main game is so hard that you need every pokemon to have four different powerful attacks. >_>
     
    i have 1 low pkmon with hms and the rest on the second lowest :)
     
    I give them to an HM slave :D
    But I do use Surf for a LOT of Pokemon, as many have said.

    This is question is very general, almost everyone agrees that HMs suck (except Surf, and maybe a few others).
     
    with the crappy ones i use slaves but with surf and fly i use the regional flying type i usually pick up and i usually get a strong water type like gyarados. sometimes i put stength on anything XD
     
    I usually integrate the HMs onto my team for the League run. Then after the league I use HM slaves. Since I'm switching the team around all the time then, i need to have the HMs bulked up on a couple Pokemon. And I obviously can't put HMs on my competitively battling Pokemon.
     
    I pretty much use HM slaves (Biba&Skar), with the exception for Surf and Waterfall, which are very sexy and viable HM that can be used effectively even in competitive battles.
     
    I generally keep Surf/Strength and Cut in the team, I find a slave(s) to cover the others as needed.
     
    I usually grab a slave for Rock Smash, Cut, Defog/Flash, Fly, and Dive. Now Rock Climb is actually really good if you have a powerful Normal type for the STAB bonus. Surf is also epic on a water Pokemon. Waterfall is good on those physical waters like Gyrados, Bibarel ect. Strength falls in the same as Rock Climb, but it's less effective.
     
    I have a Lvl.6 Bidoof that only knows HMs and tackle and also a Pelipper that mostly knows HMs. I only have 4 other Pokemon on my team, but I would hate to teach them these useless moves.
