My Golduck in Platinum as it's the water type i chose to raise.
In leaf green it was my Gyarados, but I had to erase it's HM moves before i could transerfer it over to Pt.
Either Starmie, Vaporeon, Bibarel, Tentacruel, Floatzel, Gastrodon, Empoleon, Quagsire, Milotic, Golduck, Feraligatr, Azumarril, Blastoise, Seaking, or every other Water type I have in my PC.
I used to use azumarill before I beat the Elite 4, but now I use my milotic because it has good special attack and surf is actually a pretty good move.
My Swampert knows Surf so I don't need to bring a random Pokemon along just to get across bodies of water. I'm glad Surf is a powerful attack so it's not a waste teaching it to a powerful Pokemon.
in pearl---> dont have one i just use fly, but when i first started and needed surf i used my empoleon
in my platinum game im using my mantine right now : P
I used a Floatzel for surfing and going up/down waterfalls. She was the most frequently used water-type I had, and I even took her to battle the Elite 4/Champion. Now I just have a Bibarel that knows four HM's. (It's easier to have one Pokemon know lots of HM's than to have several Pokemon know different HM's).
I think nearly all my water pokemon know surf since it's handy in and out of battle. But since i have Swampert with me alot then i guess he's my main surfer.
