3rd Gen Who became your most reliable HM slave?! (Besides Mew and other legendaries)

I was amazed when Zigzagoon learned Surf so I kept that little guy in my party forever haha.
 
Linoone/Tropius, sometimes I'd just let my party of six learn a HM or two each, or sometimes Gyarados/Linoone.

Most times I'd just let my Swampert learn Surf (still one of my favourite moves) and my Swellow learn Fly. Then the rest would just be divided amongst the HM slaves.

But Tropius is a really good HM slave, man. I had no idea until my third re-run of Ruby.
 
My Primary slave is Azumarril, I always manage to catch one early on/
 
My slave for this game is Linoone, and I don't really play RSE.
 
I have three favorite HM slaves this gen. Two of them have undoubtedly already been mentioned repeatedly - Linoone and Tropius. They're the perfect HM slave pair. But my other favorite, who joins the team late in the game, after all the rest of the content has been dealt with and the rest of the moves aren't necessary, is Parasect. It learns Cut and Rock Smash - the two most useless-but-often-necessary HMs - plus False Slash and Spore, which makes it a perfect dual-purpose HM slave/Catcher.
 
I used Relicanth as my main HM Slave after I had access to them. They can learn the Water-traversing HM's along with Rock Smash.
I hated having to put Rock Smash on a Pokemon, due to just how weak it it.
 
i never use slaves, waste of party space. just teach hm's to your team members it can't do much harm
 
As everyone's been saying, Linoone has been good for me, since it learns all the HMs that are useless. I have also tried using Tropius, and it is also a great one.
 
Marill was my HM slave, and I regret it. I love Marill to pieces now.
 
Last time I played Sapphire (on emulator) - Persian (for cut), Kingdra (for Surf, Waterfall and Dive), Delcatty (strength), Sceptile (rock smash), Pelipper (fly)
 
Sadly, it became my Swampert since Hoenn is mostly water he had or actually has since I'm trying to make the most of Emerald xD

Blizzard
Surf
Waterfall
Dive

Poor Swampert xD
 
Zigzagoon and Tropius. Oh, how much I loved using them as my slaves, especially with Zigzagoon picking up items.
They were also my death fodder Pokemon so I could heal :3
