Which pokemon have the most fun playstyles for you?
I love Exploud. Scrappy Boomburst is a nuke, but it also has so many other different moves it can learn. Ice Beam, Blizzard, Hydro Pump, Surf, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Overheat, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast. You can pretty much customize it however you'd like. Choice Scarf, Choice Specs, you could even sub in an Expert Belt to bluff specs.
Also, it's Special Attack is just high enough that Boomburst lets it wallbreak, but not high enough that it feels overwhelmingly powerful. It's bulky enough to take one or two neutral hits, but has no resistances and can't stay in for repeated blows, so you need to play it smart to get it on the field. It's slow, but just fast enough that an unexpected Scarf set is enough to get the drop on some offensive mons.
Just a really satisfying mon when it works.
