Yes I will be getting new Pokemon but right now I like how my team is setup. These are the only three pokemon I need really at this point.

In all honesty, I recommend completely removing these HM slaves. The only HM's you even need anymore are Surf and Fly. Every single other HM is only used once or twice throughout the game. Surf and Fly are actually very good moves too. In the rare event that I ever do need a particular HM, I just go to my PC box and pull out an Onix or Bellsprout.

EDIT: But yeah. Replace the Mantine with possibly a Lapras or maybe Quagsire? Replace Farfetch'd with a Dragonite (if you can get one) or Pidgeot. But that's just my opinion.

Thanks for the tips. The Farfetch'd I dislike but I have a fire type so a flying type is really not needed. I'm probably going to get a pidgey and train it.

Mantine isn't really a good HM slave, a better one for water is Sentret (it can learn Whirlpool plus Surf and I think Waterfall).

 

[Nic]

He he he, Flaaffy is loving this ice gym. =p

 

[NikoKing]

Another good thing about Sentret, it can also learn Cut, which clears out space with Bellsprout.

Thanks Niko. Also wouldn't Zizagoon be a good one too? It can learn surf and I think waterfall if I am not mistaken.

Yes, but I prefer Sentret since you can easily go and catch one out in the wild in HG, instead of having to transfer a Zigzagoon over from D/P/Pt.

Sentret can't learn them all. I have a Furret on my SS and It can't learn Whirlpool or Waterfall. I think it's Whirlpool though.

And my water Pokemon which knows Surf and Waterfall is Poliwrath

You have to teach it Whirlpool when it's still a Sentret, and I just looked up and it can't learn Waterfall.

Ok, nice. If you need a charmander, I can get one to you. Fire/Flying type and it's fast too.

Well, I just looked it up and Furret can learn Whirlpool as well, just not level up.

MUST BE A SHINY CHARMANDER! Nah just kidding but thanks for the offer, I'll keep in mind about a Charmander on my team.
