Your best bet I’d guess would beFerrothorn. I don’t see any other good ones coming from OU other than anything you could just slap Giga Drain onto. Really, something as a dedicated Draining-effect Pokemon usually results in the Pokemon being walled, but having one effect to help out sustainability and wearing down the opponent isn’t such a bad idea.

Again, not exactly a dedicated drainer, but likely effective enough to have the effect desired. Leech Seed should be all you need. Slapped this one together real quick so I apologize if it isn’t perfect, just looked good as a standalone Pokemon without looking at the team.

Ferrothorn @ LeftoversAbility: Iron BarbsEVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 DefImpish Nature- Iron Head / Body Press-Leech Seed- Knock Off- Thunder Wave

There’s two. Conkeldurr and Ferrothorn.

Conkeldurr is a reliable Drain Puncher that can Protect the next turn. Ferrothorn can set up Leech Seed and Giga Drain.

Conkeldurr @ Flame OrbAbility: GutsEVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 AtkAdamant Nature- Mach Punch- Drain Punch- Stone Edge- Facade/Fire Punch

Ferrothorn @ LeftoversAbility: Iron BarbsEVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 DefImpish Nature- Giga Drain / Power Whip / Body Press- Leech Seed- Knock Off- Stealth Rock/Spikes

These will be your best movesets for these specific Pokemon.

I’m not too sure but you shld consider Maractus. Maractus is not very strong but you asked for the best “drainer” and this is my opinion. The others suggested are also good, if not better than Maractus, but it’s stats are not too shabby and has helped my team get rid of at least one enemy.

MaractusItem: leftover/big root- Leech seedMust- Spiky shieldStall- Giga drain/Drain punch/Sucker punchChoose 2 moves from this 3.You can go to Maractus pokedex to see what other moves to fit your preference for the last 2.For evs it would depend on whatever you choose. (Just get one from the moveset questions.)
