The most recommended HM Pokemon is Psyduck, as it can learn 5 HMs without needing to evolve. However, it is exclusive to FireRed, so LeafGreen players will have to use alternatives like Krabby, who can learn 4 HMs, or Nidoran, who learns 3 HMs initially but can go to 4 when evolved.
Slowpoke and Farfetch'd, while being compatible with less HMs, can use Flash and Fly, respectively, while being easy-to-obtain Pokemon early into the game.
