I think Sigilyph is the best. It has good stats and a bunch of useful attacks.

Swanna is one of the best in Unova, as can learn a bunch of helpful HM's and is pretty strong

Answer 1

I’d go with Swanna. It’s a good HM Pokémon, and has equal Attack and Sp. Attack. Plus a decent Speed too, makes it a decent Pokémon for many needs.

HM Pokémon
Ability: Big Pecks
Held Item: Mystic Water
Moveset: Dive, Fly, Surf, Hurricane/Steel Wing

Sp. Sweeper
Ability: Hydration
Held Item: Damp Rock
Moveset: Rain Dance, Scald, Hurricane, Ice Beam

Physical Sweeper
Ability: Hydration
Held Item: Damp Rock
Moveset: Brave Bird, Rest, Aerial Ace, Steel Wing

Staller
Ablility: Hydration
Held Item: Damp Rock
Moveset: Toxic, Rest, Hurricane, Scald

Hope this helps

Comments

Swanna is unlikely to learn brave bird or hurricane before the game ends, and stallers are usually not worth using because they slow down the game. I think Swanna would be best at using a mixed set, because surf and fly, its 2 best STABs, are different categories. The last 2 slots can be ice beam, dive, or roost.
