Who is the best False Swiper – and why?

Hey everyone

I’d like to start a discussion about one of the most important tools for catching Pokémon:

Who do you think is the best False Swiper, and why?

Please don’t just name a Pokémon – I’m especially interested in the reasoning behind your choice.

 

My current setup

At the moment, I’m using Smeagle as my False Swiper with the following moveset:

• Soak
• Spore
• False Swipe

Why I like this setup:

• Soak removes type immunities (e.g. Ghost-types)
• Spore provides reliable sleep
• False Swipe safely brings Pokémon down to 1 HP

Overall, this combo feels very flexible and works well in many situations.

 

Why I’m asking

I’m wondering if there are other False Swipers that might be:

• more consistent
• bulkier or faster
• require less setup
• or perform better in specific scenarios

So again:

Which Pokémon do you consider the best False Swiper, and what makes it better than others?

Looking forward to your experiences and explanations
