The city’s last major developer, who had been responsible for some of the most innovative and popular projects in recent memory, has been booted from his post.

The mechanic that was outdated was finally being put to rest, and Gen V served as a final nail in the coffin. ..

In celebration of the Pokémon games that I love the most, BW and BW2, I’ll be ranking the best Unova HM slaves for your gen 5 dream team. ..

10. Swanna

Swanna is a very poor man’s Pelipper.

Pelipper is not as popular as HM, although it does learn more. It also lacks the charisma of Pelipper, being the handsome man that he is. ..

It is clear that the HM system has lost its appeal in the latest Pokémon game, as the best user only knows three of them. This shows how much the HM system has declined in recent years. ..

Swanna nearly has a full sweep of the bird and water HMs. Specifically learning Surf, Dive, and Fly. However you do miss out on Waterfall.

There’s not much more to say about this one. The Surf and Fly combo isn’t nearly as impactful as it was back in the day, so Swanna gets a spot on a technicality if nothing else.

9. Jellicent

I always find it difficult to decide whether I like her or not.

On the other hand, it has a mustache that would make even the most womanly of women feel jealous.

The other person has eyes that look like they’re lifeless, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Swanna is technically a better HM slave than Jellicent, as it has Fly, which Jellicent does not have. ..

I have decided to use my executive power to bump Jellicent up a place on the team. ..

The main point of this article is that the Defense stat of a player’s team can be helpful if they are interested in using them. However, I have yet to meet someone who actually uses one on their starting six lineup.

8. Druddigon

Some people argue that the new designs are too different from the originals, while others feel that they’re more creative and innovative. We asked a few people who have played Pokémon games for years what they think about the new designs.

I personally didn’t have a problem with most of the new mon’s. That doesn’t extend to Druddigon. ..

I would argue that Druddigon is one of the most hideous Pokémon that we have ever seen. ..

I’m not sure what I expected from a Pokémon with the name “Spiky-eared Pichu,” but this thing is just terrible. Its base attack stat is good, but its spiky body and abrasive attacks make it difficult to use. ..

HM will give you Cut, Surf, and Strength. ..

There is no way to know for sure how one would ride on a surfboard without getting chafed, but that’s not a thought I want to pursue. ..

7. Braviary

Braviary is still my favorite flying type design to this day. It’s a unique and powerful design that is perfect for those who want to fly fast and hard.

Which is great because it can take down even the strongest opponent.

Dragonite is a dragon-type Pokémon that has the same HM compatibility as Druddigon, with the exception of swapping out Surf for Fly. ..

That’s not all that great, but it’s still a start.

Braviary is a powerful flyer and HM slave that can be a core part of your party’s battle lineup. ..

6. Haxorus

If you want to keep Haxorus as your HM slave, then you need to get him some serious power issues sorted out.

The dragon is one of the most powerful dragon types that we’ve ever seen. It’s able to breathe fire, and it has a really big head.

I still can’t get over the look of those red tusks. They still give me nightmares to this day.

If you’re looking to dominate a mythical monster in “Heroes of the Storm,” you can choose to Cut, Surf, and Strength. ..

5. Basculin

Basculin is higher on this list than Haxorus. Basculin is a powerful and versatile Pokémon that can take on most challenges.

Basculin is a less charming version of Magikarp. It has horrible stats, a boring typing, and is overall less interesting.

These “chicken nuggets” are so terrible, I wouldn’t even eat one. ..

The first Gen V Pokémon that can learn four different HM moves is the Machamp.

Basculin can learn Cut, but only if you want a true HM slave. If you want someone who is just a subservient guinea pig, then Basculin is your fish.

4. Simipour

But after reading his article, I think it would be an injustice not to include him. Simipour is a journalist with a unique perspective on the Iranian Revolution and its aftermath.

If I had a negative opinion of Druddigon and Simipour, then it would be enough to call for a culling of the species.

The Pokémon’s design is terrible because it looks like something that would only be used by the most hideous creatures.

It seems that the 27-year-old surfer older brother who dropped out of high school and spends his time sitting in his parent’s basement listening to reggae, insisting that Arctic Monkeys are still indie, has some valid points. ..

Basculin has all of the same HMs as Basculin, but it gets number four because my passion and anger towards it is enough to spur me towards genuinely committing a crime.

3. Beartic

After a disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles looked to rebound against the New York Giants. The Eagles dominated most of the game, but a late fumble by Carson Wentz sealed their fate. This was more like it from the Eagles. After struggling in their previous game, they came out strong and dominated most of their opponent. However, a late fumble by Carson Wentz sealed their fate and ended up costing them the game. ..

Beartic is a powerful Pokémon that can dish out 130 base attack and four HMs. It has a lot of potential, so be sure to use it wisely!

There’s something undeniably satisfying about OHKOing your opponent with a beefcake Cut attack. HM slaves that are defensive tend to be less effective in battle, so it’s important to find a strategy that works best for you. ..

Beartic has the ability to Dive, Surf, Cut, and Strength. ..

This is good coverage, and the swap of Waterfall for Strength actually comes in handy throughout a lot of the game. ..

2. Carracosta

We’ve had a few turtle-inspired Pokémon over the years, but Carracosta comes close to being my favorite.

If it weren’t for Squirtle, this might actually have the top spot.

Remember that I warned you about the dangers of being a HM slave? ..

133 base defense is massive for Carracosta. A perfect HM slave would be able to be left out as cannon fodder and take abuse while the player heals up. ..

If you play your cards right, Carracosta can do a lot of things well, including defending against giants.

HM-wise, you get the three water moves and Strength, meaning you can use this guy to clear most obstacles that you come across. ..

1. Samurott

Water types are not as fun as they seem.

Empoleon is one of the greatest HM slaves of all time, for the Sinnoh games and throughout all the generations.

Samurott is the best Pokémon for Generation V by a country mile. ..

This is a question that can be difficult to answer, as it depends on the person. Some people may want to load up their starter with high-quality HMs, while others may not. It all comes down to what you are comfortable with and what you feel will help you achieve your goals.

But you have the options of the three water HM moves, plus Strength and Cut.

The only Pokémon in the entire region that can learn more than four HM moves is the Alakazam. This makes it the clear favorite to win first place on the list.
