E.g., Lati@s, since you can't transfer Pokemon that know HM moves?

Best answer

"If a player teaches a Pokémon Defog by HM in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and trades it to HeartGold or SoulSilver, the Pokémon can be freely imported to Black and White via the Poké Transfer, due to Defog not being needed outside of battle in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The same can be done with Whirlpool by transferring a Pokémon that learned it by HM in HeartGold or SoulSilver to Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum"

Basically,as defog is not an HM in HG/SS, any Pokemon knowing it in that game can be freely transferred to Black & White/Black & White 2

I thought you couldn't even trade Pokemon with HMs? Also you source doesn't link to anything.

Oh that's right; now that I've looked up trading HMs, it's Gen V that prevents IR trading of Pokemon with HM moves. Thanks.
