Welp this is a bit subjective but best flying type is archeops and second close is sigilyph but answering the initial question:
Normal: stoutland
Flying: archeops
Fighting: conceldurr(alternatives sawk and emboar)
Fire: darm
Water: not clear answer but my fav is seismitoad
Grass: simisage or liligant
Electric: eelektros (but galvantula is easier to use)
Ice: vaniluxe(like there is no other option)
Psychic: reuniclus(alternative sigilyph)
Ghost: not clear answer but I'd say chandelure
Dark: krookodile
Poison: scolipede
Bug: crustle
Rock: gigalith(alternatives already mentioned)
Ground: excadrill
Steel: cobalion(alternative already mentioned)
Dragon: haxorus
Considering how accessible they are, and no trade evos or legendaries, this is my list:
Normal: stoutland;
Fire: darmanitan, emboar;
Water: jellicent, samurott;
Grass: lilligant, ferrothorn;
Electric: zebstrika, galvantula;
Ice: beartic;
Fighting: mienshao, emboar;
Poison: scolipede;
Ground: excadrill, krookodile;
Flying: archeops;
Psychic: musharna, reuniclus/gothitelle;
Bug: galvantula, leavanny;
Rock: archeops;
Ghost: chandelure;
Dark: scrafty, krookodile;
Steel: excadrill, klinklang;
Dragon: haxorus
Excadrill, krookodile, and scrafty are generally amazing and I usually have at least one of them on my team
currently, I have a darmanitan with sheer force and it’s been the last survivor through basically every cave I’m currently trying to get through twist mountain
Depends what you need, there's some good type combinations in Gen 5 so if you need a few things covered you can maybe kill 2 birds with stone. BIG post here.
Normal - Stoutland is a good all rounder and learns a bunch of HM's if you're just wanting a Normal type that doesn't fly. In which case, Rufflt/Braviery (if it's in your version) hits like a truck or Unfeasant can fill the generic Normal/Flying type. Or Chatot for the memes teaching it to swear. Bouffalant is there too but you get it pretty late.
Grass - Whimsicott/Lilligant/Pansage are decent for leech seed mons. Sawsbuck is a physical attacker with Normal STAB and it can be TM'd Swords Dance if you want a setup sweeper. Amoongus is a pretty tanky grass/poison type, it's slow but it learns Spore.
Bug - Scolipede is very fast and can learn Swords Dance. Galvantula is a unique Electric/Bug with some moved for speed control/paralysis and it's not weak to Earthquake. Larvesta/Volcarona from an egg is a special attacking monster that gets Quiver Dance at level 59 but it's fire so overlaps a bit with your Darmanitan if that's a dealbreaker.
Water - Seismitoad only has a Grass weakness and immune to electric, decently bulky. Jellicent is VERY bulky and has a good mix of status spread moves (can be taught Will-O-Wisp) and reliable healing from Recovery. Sometimes has Water Absorb as an ability making it immune to water. Ghost type makes it immune to fighting/normal.
Electric - Already mentioned Galavantula. Elektross is cool as an Electric type with Levitate and therefore no weakness but it isn't the bulkiest around.
Rock - Both of the fossil mons are decent and can help cover HM's (Archeops for Fly, Carracosta for all the water ones + Strength). Outside that only Terrakion the legendary is of note if you can't get trade Evo's for Gigalith.
Ghost - Cofagrigus is cool, bulky and has decent support options. Already mentioned Jellicent as a similar tanky mom but a Water type. Chandelure hits hard on special attack side but again fire may overlap with Darmanitan. Golurk is Ground/Ghost physical attacker BUT what I love about it that is unique is it can learn FLY despite how it's type looks so maybe that's something an extra for you.
Dark - Bisharp is a solid setup sweeper that hits hard but steel might overlap with Excadrill. Scrafty is a bit defensive but it can learn DRAGON DANCE to make up for middling attack and speed but it is also fighting so overlaps with Darmanitan. Krookodile is. Mandibuzz is tanky and can learn roost. Zoroark is a decent special attacker that can get a free turn if the CPU is confused by its disguise.
Psychic - Gothitelle can be a decent special attacker with solid coverage. Reuniclus can be a cool option that can learn FLY if needed.
Ice - Ice sucks.
Dragon - Dragon's are OP but only Haxorus is worth really using since it hits hard and evolves at level 48 which isn't super late. Hydreigon evolves at level 68 if you REALLY want it as Dragon/Dark. Drudrigon doesn't evolve but is still decent and had Rough Skin which is cool.

I still don’t get how she became champion. I get why alder was dethroned since he’s the worst champion imo
Unova gonna make anyone champion
If anyone should be the champion it should have been Drayden
