Best answer

Toxtricity

Pros:

Solid mixed attacking stats
Good defensive typing
Average Speed
Access to Punk Rock boosting the power of Sound-based moves such as Boomburst

Cons:

Its frail
Will be outrun by many Pokemon
Only has access to Fire Punch outside of its Electric/Poison Type STAB

Sirfetch'd

Pros:

One of the best psychical attackers in the game
Solid Bulk
Good movepool

Cons:

Its slow
Not as bulky as other Fighting Types
Low 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

Also, Sirfetch'd is SWORD Exclusive whereas Toxtricity's prevo of Toxel is easily accessible if you enter into the Daycare on Rt. 5 and talk to the receptionist.

Between the 2, the evolution method for Sirfetch'd is too convoluted (3 crits consecutively). As for Toxel, just evolve it at Level 30 and you're good. The only thing though is that Amped form gets Shift Gear and the other form doesn't. This part I don't like.
Thanks
