It seems like pokemon that can learn false swipe are pretty rare in this game. The first party member (like, that I intend to keep in my party) I got that can learn it is freaking Zacian, but her build is tight as it is as I want all the coverage on her that I can possibly run to capitalize on her absurd attack. In gen 5 it seemed like half the pokemon in the game in general could learn it let alone the good ones.
So, am I overlooking a decent pokemon that can learn it in just focusing on my party members? If so, what is it? I’d like to have a more consistent catching strategy than just “yeet a quick ball turn one and if it fails use a resisted move and pray it doesn’t faint”. I’m at the point in the game where the pokedex is the last thing I have to do, and I’m actually like halfway done with a living dex.
Edit: Aegislash and Drednaw seem to be some popular ones. Thanks for the advice. I’ll give those a go

Aeigislash, hands down. Side note: does Swirlix evolve? If so, how? (Im not even sure if they’re in sword/shield but I can’t remember so I thought I’d ask)

I actually haven’t even found False Swipe. Is it a TM or TR? Anyway, I don’t actually know, but I’d be surprised if Grimmsnarl can’t use it, and he’s pretty good from my filthy casual perspective. Just seems like a Grimmsnarl type move. [spoiler]On a side note, a Gigantimax Hatterene broke out of my Pokéball today. I am sad. :( I mean, I probably wouldn’t replace Maya, anyway, but I love how evil her Gigantimax form looks. I really need a Gigantimax Grimmsnarl as well (though likewise I don’t think I’ll swap out Erin). Man, they really nailed those two Pokémon—their evolution chains are some of my favorite now![/spoiler]
