Who do you put your HMs on in Generation V?

Swanna # Surf / Dive / Fly
Panpour # Surf / Cut
Scrafty # Strength / Dig
Ferrothorn # Flash

I don't have a Waterfall user yet.

Since Dig / Flash are (infinite use) TMs, this Generation effectively ruled them out as necessary at all -___- You can just swap it in and out at your will. Escape Rope? Psh.

 

[woaska]

Ducklett for surf, dive and fly.
Samurott for waterfall, surf and cut (I also have false swipe on him).
My Gigalith knows strength as well, but I don't consider it as a HM slave. I don't know what Pokémon I used the other HMs on...

I haven't really found a "perfect" HM slave yet, I'll keep looking. Or I might just get Bidoof/Bibarel. The thing I really miss is a good HM slave for fly. When I was looking for one in HG/SS I found out that Aerodactyl probably was the best one but still not that good.

Btw, that link, I got comic based on it. https://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7793/1306458786266.png
It makes my eyes so tearful. ;_;

 

[PlatinumDude]

I put Surf, Dive and Waterfall on Samurott (I removed both later on), Fly on Archeops, Cut on Pansear and Strength on Sawk and Excadrill.

 

[bobandbill]

I used one of the monkey Pokemon or a spare Herdier generally, although a Biberal and Golduck in post-E4 sure helped with exploring all those rivers/waterfalls/underwater areas. I kept Fly on my Archeops.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Hmmmmmmm.

Well! I remember using Zekrom post-elite four as my Fly slave, but since then that's kinda changed and any flying Pokemon is basically my Fly slave now. Not sure what I used before Zekrom, though... :( I definitely know Samurott was used for Surf before the elite four, while for post game, I'm not really sure, I think I used whatever I came across. And Emboar had Strength, iirc. And Pansage = obv Cut slave. In fact, I can barely remember my team post-elite four. XD

But still, that story made me feel bad! ;__;

 

[Molts]

I have a remoraid with waterfall dive surf that I pull out when ever I need him, and I have a makuhita with strength, and an oddish with cut, since they're not really used that often.

I do really enjoy that HM's aren't required to get around as much as before, so I haven't really used the HM slaves that much (hoenn basically said you MUST have peliper in your team for surf and fly).

 

[smithtism]

Samurott: Surf, Waterfall(deleted)
Stoutland: Strength, Surf
Unfezant: Fly
Liepard: Cut
I kept this up until I beat the Elite Four and got a better team. I didn't use HM moves often after that (except Surf and Fly, obviously:P). Personally I think those two are the only really useful moves for battling. The others are rarely all that effective.

 

[Katja]

I put my HMs on anyone who can use them/I don't care about. HM slaves FTW. But it's such a pain to withdraw them if I don't have space. e 3e

 

[chaos56]

Pretty much anyone was an HM slave if needed up until I got to the Elite four. Even used Emboar for Strength.

 

[Autobot Silverwynde]

As of right now I have Surf on my Samurott, Strength on my Sawk and my Golurk knows Fly. Of course, my Golurk will always know Fly. Cruising across the skies in the arms of a robot? How awesome is that?! :)

 

[Legendary Silke]

It's always the Bibarel + Tropius combo for me. Before I got them, though, I got away with Samurott, Watchog and Swoobat. They have all HMs and Flash!

 

[Clefairies]

Well I haven't completed the game as of yet so haven't really thought out my HMs.

Swoobat has fly.

As for the rest of my team, I don't know what I will do, I probably will pick up a few HM slaves, although switching about will be a pain, although as someone else as said, I've noticed you don't really need to use HMs as much to get around in Unova (luckily!)

 

[deoxys121]

I generally don't have specific HM slaves. I just teach them to whoever can learn them in my main party, and then delete the moves when I no longer need them, unless they're already good battle moves like Surf on Sp. Attackers, and Waterfall and Fly on Physical Attackers. Strength is also decent, and I keep it in my team until well into the post-game where I no longer need it, at which point I replace it with something better.

 

[Amore]

Well, in my first run I used these:

HM01 Cut - unused / Simisear (not a team-member beyond Castelia City)
HM02 Fly - Braviary (only post-E4, as I couldn't find one on GTS to breed from until then).
HM03 Surf - Samurott
HM04 Strength - Druddigon
HM05 Waterfall - Buizel
HM06 Dive - Buizel

Buizel was a HM Slave. Fly was deleted afterwards, because I wanted Brave Bird.

On my second run:

HM01 Cut - Simisage (Deleted just before E4)
HM02 Fly - Unfezant
HM03 Surf - Frillish
HM04 Strength - Krookodile
HM05 Waterfall - none, never got that far.
HM06 Dive - as above.

 

[Joey's Rattata]

HM01 Cut - I actually don't remember, pretty sure it was on my monkey though.
HM02 Fly - It was on some random Pidove until I caught Resharim. Best use of a legendary ever, amirite?
HM03 Surf - Samurott. I always choose the water starter, so it always winds up being an HM Slave. ;_;
HM04 Strength - Stoutland because it isn't too bad of a move to be on my main team.
HM05 Waterfall - Samurott.
HM06 Dive - Samurott.

Also, that story is why I try not to use HM Slaves. >_>; [/softie]

 

[Lee Know]

lol, I don't see why you would need HM slaves on this region.

Cut - Useless once you find the items behind the trees
Fly - Keep
Strength - Useless once you've scoured the Abyssal Ruins and pushed all the boulders into holes
Dive - Useless once you've scoured the Abyssal Ruins
Waterfall - Useless after you've gotten Landorus at the Shrine
Surf - Keep

Umm yeah.

 

[ltsang]

well.... for this gen I had my shiny birael transfer from my hg to white. I haven't use any hm slave yet except for strength birael. Other than that I use surf on samurott. :D

 

[TheMarkCrafter]

----------Postgame-----------
Unfezant: Fly
Shiny Basculin: Surf & Dive
Krookodile: Strength & Cut
Serperior: Flash
-----------Ooold------------
Stoutland: Surf & Strength (After I replaced Stoutland with Cobalion for Strength and my Shiny Basculin for surf)
Unfezant: Still Fly
Serperior (sometimes) haves Flash

 

[Skuntank]

golduck works well for several hms in black

 

[Lee Know]

I still don't understand why people use HM Slaves, after all that's transpired in B/W.

Have you not learned from Team Plasma at all?
