I always try to spread my HM duties through my final party. Makes it feel more like its the 6 of us against the world doing everything.

I actually do this too, op. I hate the idea of wasting a slot on a pokemon I wont be using in battle for some reason
I would only ever teach strength, surf or waterfall to actual team Pokemon, but that's just me.
>>27381305
Those are all decent moves though

What are you 12?
In game HMs are perfectly acceptable to use on regular team members. The games aren't hard.

If he didn't know he can't remove HM moves by DP, then yes, probably he is
You'd think after pruning so many features, they'd take away the most irritating one.
Cut is such a piece of shit.

How are you wasting a slot? Just deposit your mon and backtrack if there's something you need to get, better than wasting a move slot for "Defog"
Surf, Strength, Waterfall, and maybe Rock Climb are all viable moves though
