Hydreigon needs help!

Further to this blog post, I've finally developed my super-awesome-mega-wonderful beta team:

Awesome, amirite? Mienshao became the missing ingredient when I realised I had zero fighting critters. Hopefully it'll be kinda useful against Grimsley.

The only real issue I have is with Hydreigon's moveset. It's going to learn Crunch and Dragon Pulse, but I have no idea what other two moves to give it. It's obviously going to be kinda powerful and awesome and overall great, but I have moves of every type (except Steel and Normal) on the other five critters, so I don't know what other two moves to teach it.

Any advice?

The question is, why are you mixing physical and special attacks? I have a Hydreigon on my PO team that seriously beasts everything. He has full EVs in Sp. Attack and Speed, and his moveset is
Draco Meteor
Dark Pulse
Fire Blast
Surf
Fire Blast covers its weaknesses to Ice and Bug, while Draco Meteor is great to OHKO other dragons but could be replaced with Dragon Pulse if you really hate that loss of Sp. Attack on it. I just love the type coverage of Surf as well, because there are plenty of Fire types that I come up against.

Btw: I have Mienshao on my PO team too, so epic. And I use Volcarona to sweep the E4 now, since mine is level 100 and easily defeats 3 out of the 5 of them. :3

He doesn't have access to Dark Pulse I'm assuming. But if you insist on going for a Crunch attack, then maybe Work Up might be an option. Make sure it has a Water move as well, so it has awesome coverage.

I'd rather have Dark Pulse, but I can't breed. Crunch is the next best thing, despite being Physical. Draco Meteor's a nice shout; may go with that instead of Dragon Pulse. Fire Blast is too inaccurate; Flamethrower's a nice shout, though. Surf could definitely work.

Merci beaucoup.

EDIT: Alternative: Surf seems like a good bet. Merci beaucoup to you too!

I thought it might help if Whimsicott learnt Light Screen, which can really help against Shauntal and Caitlin. But it does seem Hydreigon can cover those two, so it's really your call. :3
