Well Sunkern is currently in Limo 4, which means that apparently it is better than everyone in the bottom tier, which should include patrat! Ok, so Watchog has return, say you actually teach it ice punch or aqua tail, then yes that is alright coverage. However, it can't even combat it's own weakness! By the way, you said the 10 red shards are given to you for free, but you want to use them on something else! Competition for the elemental punches, azumarill and ampharos are great with ice punch, and since you only get 10 red shards for free, getting any other move doesn't let you get a punch, and there are lots of candidates at that point which you are far better off, and off the top of my head I can tell you that signal beam magnemite/ton, Low kick riolu, or elemental punches riolu actually, Low kick Krokorok, low kick Zoroark. I mean, if you really want to then I suppose Watchog could work (so could quite a lot of the bottom tier, like castform, purrloin or dunsparce) so that is why he is bottom. By the way, you said that magnemite and darumaka have lower BST than dunsparce. They can still evolve, they are actually stage 1 pokemon, watchog, the fully evolved patrat, is only 5 more.
