Toxtricity

Pros:

Solid mixed attacking statsGood defensive typingAverage SpeedAccess to Punk Rock boosting the power of Sound-based moves such as Boomburst

Cons:

Its frailWill be outrun by many PokemonOnly has access to Fire Punch outside of its Electric/Poison Type STAB

Sirfetch’d

Pros:

One of the best psychical attackers in the gameSolid BulkGood movepool

Cons:

Its slowNot as bulky as other Fighting TypesLow HP makes those defences not as viable

If your looking for a great psychical sweeper with a good array of moves I would suggest Sirfetch’d if you want a solid mixed attacker for both STAB Typings then go for Toxtricity even with a lacking move pool of coverage and is decently fast.

I would personally go for Sirfetch’d as its move-pool is better combined with its high psychical attack stat it can use some set up moves to make it a full-on sweeper. Hopefully, this helps :D
