I... can buy the logic behind Battle Armour - it's most notable around the head, which actually reminds me of a knight's helmet? Wearing a helmet seems an excellent way to avoid being hit with a critical hit. I certainly disagree with the surprisingly angry comments that Bug types don't pick it up that often - by distribution Bug-types are more inclined to pick it up than most types!
I actually don't particularly like Hyper Cutter - it's mostly flavour coded towards claws - something about it seems slightly off to me? I think it's the build - Hyper Cutter tends to have a very 'seperate' mouth in the few cases it's a mouth (Trapinch and Mawile-to-an-extent-weird-mon-biology), wheras our mouth is substantially more 'part' of the body - think Exploud, who has the Elemental Fangs, a similarly large gaping mouth... and no Hyper Cutter.
I'm going to also second Rivalry and Mold Breaker as being stalwart options for 'aggressive' mons and, for Mold Breaker, fairly common 'I'm A Dragon' abilities. Stench is also interesting, and naturally it's already on the only line that currently has Neutralizing gas, so the precedent is sound.
