  • 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 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.

  • 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}

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    how could you tolerate having Surf on Swampert? lmao

    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. ;)

  • 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.. :(
