The next Pokémon I trade on Surprise Trade is Petilil, a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation 5. I breed for 31 IVs in at least 4 or 5 stats, and some of the Petilil have Chlorophyll and Own Tempo, and I went with Modest for the Nature, as Petilil has Special Attack as its best stat, it can work with Timid, as its evolved form Lilligant has a good Speed stat to work with. Lilligant does have a Hisuian Form in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where it is a Physical Attacker, and prefers Jolly or Adamant, but we won't go over Hisuian Lilligant as it cannot be used in any of the main series Pokémon games.
Its Egg Moves are Ingrain, Healing Wish, Sweet Scent, and Worry Seed, I will list which parents in the Grass Egg Group that can learn those moves.
Healing Wish: Cherubi, Cherrim (Requires Chain Breeding)
Ingrain: Tangela, Roselia, Roserade, Snover, Abomasnow, Tangrowth, Maractus, Foongus, Amoonguss, Ferroseed, Ferrothorn, Phantump, Trevenant, Fomantius, Lurantis, Morelull, Shiinotic
Sweet Scent: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Bellossom, Roselia, Roserade, Maractus, Foongus, Amoonguss, Fomantis, Lurantis, Comfey, Gossifleur, Eldegoss, Appletun
Worry Seed: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Exeggcute, Exeggutor, A-Exeggutor, Roselia, Roserade, Cherubi, Cherrim

The Cherubi line learn Healing Wish from the Clefairy line through Chain Breeding, and there are no attacking moves Petilil can get through breeding, although I would recommend swapping out either Ingrain or Healing Wish for Absorb, as that is one of Petilil's starting moves, the other being Growth.
For its other level up moves, Petilil learns Helping Hand, Stun Spore, Mega Drain, Aromatherapy, Magical Leaf, Sleep Powder, Giga Drain, Leech Seed, After You, Energy Ball, Synthesis, Sunny Day, Entrainment, and Leaf Storm. It evolves into Lilligant with the use of a Sun Stone, and it learns Petal Dance upon evolution, and it can relearn Petal Blizzard, Quiver Dance, and Teeter Dance.
Next are TMs and TRs, and I will be going over what Lilligant can learn, for TMs, it can learn Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Solar Beam, Solar Blade, Light Screen, Safeguard, Charm, Grassy Terrain, and a few other moves, and for TRs, it can learn Swords Dance, Encore, Leaf Blade, Seed Bomb, Grass Knot, and Pollen Puff, and it can learn Grassy Glide as a Tutor move.
Lilligant's coverage is very limited, the only move it can learn that is not a Grass or Normal-type move is Pollen Puff. One of Lilligant's best sets is setting up Quiver Dance and then use Petal Dance to get in some huge damage, and with Own Tempo, Lilligant cannot be confused. Sleep Powder is there for a status move, and for its fourth move, Giga Drain fills in, although it can use Hyper Beam for a powerful Max Strike when Dynamaxed. Lilligant did learn Dream Eater through TM in earlier generations, and I don't know if that was a move that was frequently used on Lilligant in those games.
It is a decent Pokémon in the sun in Double Battles where it can use After You to ensure Torkoal can get in an Eruption, and the Ability you will want on Lilligant for that set is Chlorophyll. It can use Helping Hand to boost the power of its ally's next move, and Energy Ball for its main Grass-type move, so at least it is one of the many support Pokémon when the sun is up.
About Hisuian Lilligant, as it cannot be used in the main series games currently, and Lilligant is confirmed to be returning in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, but I don't know if Hisuian Lilligant can be transferred into them yet, I do remember one of the first few pictures from those games show Hisuian Zoroark. Hisuian Lilligant is Grass/Fighting-type, and it is a Physical Attacker, and from its level up moves in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it can learn Leaf Blade and Close Combat, and it does get some nice coverage moves like Aerial Ace and Poison Jab, and it has a signature move called Victory Dance, I don't know how they will implement that in the main series games, if that will be a Physical Quiver Dance. While Grass/Fighting is a downside with that huge Flying weakness, but then again we did have Breloom in previous generations it was in OU, this is because Breloom can learn Spore and it had some great Abilities in Technician and Poison Heal, and it can use a variety of sets, Hisuian Lilligant can be used as a devastating sun sweeper with Chlorophyll, and it does have Hustle in the data, although Legends does not have Abilities in the game, and that can make Hisuian Lilligant a powerful Attacker, don't know how they will put Victory Dance into the main series games.
