    Of note, for HM mules, prioritizing moves like Cut and Rock Smash is important because of their low base power. I find that Strength is a decent normal type move due to it's fairly decent base power. There's definitely better normal type moves out there, but it will do.

      @TheChiog 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In the early game, rock smash can be a pretty decent move. In Gen 4, for example. Teach it to a geodude and Mars' infamous Purugly won't give you any trouble. Geodude resists Purugly's stab and can also tank pursuit with his high defense. Rock smash hits super effective and can lower the defense.

      That's crazy gen 1 technically didn't have a pokemon that could learn multiple hm moves. Not that it mattered as I just spread the hms across the entire team. Easier that way and never needed a reason to switch. And when I figured out rock cave, didn't bother with flash again.

      Crypto 2 body slam, just as strong and can paralyze. Or slash which isn’t as strong but high crit ratio is nice. And return in later games which is base 102 power at max friendship which will most likely happen pretty quickly. But strength is still a decent normal type move with the convenience of being able to move rock or boulders with out a needed hm slave.

    In Gen three, Tentacool and Tropius together can learn every HM in the game. Tentacool gets cut, surf, dive and waterfall, and Tropius gets fly, flash, rock smash and strength. Both can be found early in the game, with Tentacool being found with an old rod and Tropius on route 119, well before the end of the game. I was slightly disappointed to see my favorite HM duo omitted from the list...

      I mean the term slave does usually refer to people of color usually so it's not the best term to be using. I actually like the term HM Mule. I've never heard it before this video and I'm gonna use it more now. Mule at least emphasizes that it's carrying the burden as it's job and because it's a resilient Pokemon with high endurance. Not because it's been caught and forced to do what we tell it.
      I'm sure this might be a part of the reason why Gamefreak introduced Pokejobs.

    In Gen 3 i always wanted to have "Mules" to cover every single HM even when those moves are nice, so tend to do this:
    Early: catch a Zigzagoon which can learn Cut, Surf and Rock Smash (I dont mind to wander around that tiny dark cave) (Also its ability Pickup is pretty nice for a Non-fighter Pokemon)
    After 5th badge: Go for a Tropius who can learn Cut, Fly, Strengh and Flash
    Late game: rather catch a Wailmer and evolve it or catch a Wailord on Route 140 which can learn Surf, Waterfall, Dive and Rock Smash, and substitute it for Zigzagoon
