Well, Swoobat honestly doesn't have much competition. The only real competitor it has is Serperior, which is bulkier and almost imperceptibly slower. However, while it does take hits better, Swoobat still has a big edge in its ability to learn U-Turn. However, the free slot grants Serperior access to a vast array of extra support moves and a few attacks. Its best options are, in my opinion at least, Gastro Acid, Glare, Aromatherapy*, Synthesis*, Leech Seed, and Giga Drain.
Aromatherapy and Synthesis are from an event-exclusive Snivy, so no egg moves there.
