Due to both {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Defog}} sharing the {{type2|Flying}}, Pokémon of this type are also considered to be good HM slaves in Generation IV, especially considering Defog's effect does nothing to harm the opponent directly at all (while Flash lowered the opponent's accuracy, causing moves to sometimes miss, Defog merely lowers their evasiveness). HM slaves like {{p|Tropius}} and {{p|Pelipper}} are ideal for these roles since they are capable of using other HM moves along with Fly and Defog. | Due to both {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Defog}} sharing the {{type2|Flying}}, Pokémon of this type are also considered to be good HM slaves in Generation IV, especially considering Defog's effect does nothing to harm the opponent directly at all (while Flash lowered the opponent's accuracy, causing moves to sometimes miss, Defog merely lowers their evasiveness).

Typically, [[legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Lugia}} and most especially {{p|Mew}} can learn many, if not all, HM moves. Because their high stats mean they are ''incredibly'' useful for battle, most consider it a waste to put ''any'' HM moves, aside from {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, or perhaps [[Generation IV]]'s more powerful {{m|Fly}}, on a legendary, especially an event legendary like Mew, available only occasionally directly from [[Nintendo]] itself. | Typically, [[legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Lugia}},{{p|Mewtwo}} and most especially {{p|Mew}} can learn many, if not all, HM moves.
