Is Hawlucha or Lucario better for a Sw/Sh playthrough?

Which should I use? I’ve seen their movepools and I can’t decide which is better. Please provide movesets for whichever you suggest.

I said that Kommo-o is already good enough, so why not use it? It has a well-rounded offensive and defensive stat, - Especially that defense, yum - Only lacking in HP and Speed.

Kommo-o @ Lum Berry / AnyAbility(/ies): Soundproof / BulletproofRecommended Nature(s): Jolly / Timid

However, you can still opt for the other two. In which here I recommendLucariomore. While Hawlucha has a needed Ground resistance like the other users stated, It’s not as strong - Hyper offense is oriented greatly in-game. Hawlucha has 5 weaknesses along with 4 resistances - one of them a whopping 4x resistance against bug, while Lucario has 3 weaknesses and 8 resistances - two of them are 4x against Bug and Rock - including one immunity against Poison as well as a neutral reaction to Fairy. Hawlucha, however has a unique signature moveFlying Pressthat can be great if you know how to utilize it properly.

Lucario @ Focus Sash / Air Baloon / AnyAbility(/ies): Steadfast / Inner FocusRecommended Nature(s): Timid / Jolly

Lucario has a well-rounded offensive stat, 110/115 respectively and while quite frail, Its' speed made up for it if trained enough - Though Hawlucha is faster…But if you still wanted Hawlucha - Go ahead.

Hawlucha @ Flying Gem / AnyAbility(/ies): Limber / UnburdenReccomended Nature(s): Jolly / Adamant

Acrobatics + Flying Gem + STAB with fully trained Atk EVs and Unburden is hellishly powerful, Try it. However you may also opt for Brave Bird. Flying Press is a good STAB that is made for Hawlucha only and its unique dual-type makes it fun to use. U-Turn is to opt out and the other is self-explanatory…In conclusion: Either keep yourKommo-oor get aLucario.

Hope I helped! I tried my best on this one as I never played Sword x)

id say hawlucha because your 2 of your Pokemon are weak to ground and one is weak to fighting with and hawlucha isn’t weak to fighting if you choose lucario you have 3 Pokemon that are weak to ground

hawlucha moveset

Go for Hawlucha, because like what mega mismagius said, 2 of your Pokemon are weak to Ground types. Hawlucha can be a sweeper if used correctly, so I recommend this moveset:
