yeah okay, elite four team will be:
- Typhlosion
- Lapras
- Nidoqueen
- Heracross
- Dragonair/Dragonite
- Ho-Oh
which mons will be responsible for which elite four members/mons and whether i need to teach anybody any new moves to be determined at an earlier hour of a different day.

plus side: i don’t have to wait until level 55 to have dratini learn water HMs.

was going to have dragonite eventually be my flyer. but i think i’m maybe morally obligated to not leave ho-oh in the box after bringing them back. so maybe dratini can be my secondary water HMer instead of vaporeon? (lapras has surf but needs her other moveslots for other things)

i am susceptible to dragon types.... gotta train myself a dratini even tho they take sooooo loooooonnnnggg to evolve

@gaditb also Surf kind of drags down the other Water-related HMs for me because (except for Waterfall for physical attackers after Gen 3) it's generally a better battle move than them, and having to fit one or two extra water HMs can make things a bit awkward and necessitate splitting the Water HMs across multiple mons.
responses
@gaditb v reasonable. for me it’s just a confluence of: it’s nice to go new places, i’d still use it often even if it were only usable in battle, and i usually don’t have to contort my teams to fit it in. if they made the level ranges on wild pokémon a little tighter i’d have absolutely zero complaints about it
@gaditb well, strictly speaking, my preference is based on the combination of field effect, battle effect, and pokémon that learn it
@gaditb my choice is based on the combination and i'm not going to make two more polls :)
what's your favorite HM move in Pokémon?

the problem i always have with eevee in non-recent generations is i'm always sad i can't have a sylveon just because they don't exist yet
