Let’s see, shall we?

Armaldo

ProsA high ATK of 125Decent in terms of Physical Defense, with a respectable base DEF of 100Rock/Bug typing, making it weak to 3 types onlyRock/Bug are both Physical types, so you can utilize its' STAB well

ConsVery slowShallow movepool, not counting TMs, Tutors and Egg MovesBarely has any Bug STAB, it beingonlyFury Cutter which isn’t even the bestA little poor in terms of Defense, specially

Cradily

ProsRespectable defensive stats with 97/107 respectivelyGets things like Solar Beam, Giga Drain and Earthquake through TMs and EggA somewhat wider movepool than Armaldo by a mileCan be trained to a great multi-tank, maybe can be put up for a good use somewhere in the late-game competitive facilities

ConsNothing so special offensively, with its offensive stats 81/81 respectivelyIt is only special in terms of defensive stats, however defense is not much prioritized in-game, unfortunatelyGrass/Rock isn’t necessarily a bad typing, but It is clearly not the best eitherSlower than ArmaldoHas a type overlap with your Cacturne

In this case, I recommend you to go withArmaldo. It can be a physical sweeping beast if trained properly, and I believe a proper speed training will also make up for that awful speed.

Armaldo @ AnythingAbility: Battle ArmorRecommended Nature/s: Adamant- Ancient Power- Fury Cutter- Protect / Swords Dance- Earthquake / Metal Claw / Brick Break

Hope this helps!
