Without a doubt, this is Hydreigon.Let’s look at his stats:

It has the second highest BST after Arceus-Dark and tying with Tyranitar. It has excellent stats, and can run many different sets, such as Mixed Sweeper, Choice Scarf, Choice Specs, and SubRoost. It has a massive movepool: its too long to list, so lookherefor all the moves it has.

Hydreigon, by far :D

Not only is it the best dark type of its region, but it is tied for the highest base stat of all dark Pokemon! (excluding Arceus dark)

Hydreigon (M) @ Choice ScarfTrait: LevitateEVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SpdModest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)- Draco Meteor- Dark Pulse- Surf- Flamethrower

Other notable Dark types:Zoroark (510 Base), Access to Illusion, sig move of night daze

Scrafty (488), Moxie, also has Fighting type, very ueful

Hydreigon,Bisharp,ScraftyandZoroarkfit the criteria well.

Hydreigonhas balanced stats and can run physical and special. It’s movepool is exceptionally large and learns moves that cover many if it’s counters. But Hydreigon easily outclasses the others.

Bisharphas an excellent type allowing it to take hits from many of Steel’s resistanced such as the common Dragon STAB. It’s movepool has decent STAB, but other than that it is rather lacking.

Scrafty, again a great choice, is the more bulky kind of Pokemon here. His movepool is very decent and with it’s great defences combined with decent attack provide a good Bulky Attacker.

Zoroarkalso can be physical or special, however it’s movepool isn’t as large as Hydreigon’s but is still of good use. It is also more frail than Hydreigon. But generally better it is better offensive than defensive as a sweeper.
