Hawlucha (Edit: Pokmon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon - thanks Mewtwo59 for pointing out my error!)

Minor spoilers:

For those unaware, both wild ones and a traded one may be found before the first trial (Sun and Moon's equivalent of Gyms). This is a Fighting/Flying Pokmon with potent fully-evolved stats, which comes with an Attack-boosting option and reliable STABs of both its types right out of the gate. On top of that, the traded one has an automatic Attack-increasing nature (in turn for Speed, which is already Hawlucha's high point) and gains boosted EXP.

But wait, it gets better! Shortly before the first trial, you get TM Brick Break, a 75 base power Fighting STAB - staggeringly powerful for such a point, especially on an already-powerful Pokmon. Hawlucha has a very advantageous matchup against both said trial and the first Kahuna, after which it may use the Fightinium-Z for a nuke option off its already powerful STAB. Before leaving the first island, you may also detour to obtain the Flyinium-Z, giving Hawlucha's other STAB a nuke option. It also quickly and naturally learns Roost, for runs without healing items.

Bottom line, I'm not sure anything will ever unseat Hawlucha as the definitive example of this trope to me.
