TL;DR — Quick Pick

  • You specifically want Sticky Princess as your combat partner skill.
  • Dual Water/Dark typing for coverage.

  • You specifically want Ultrasonic Sensor as your combat partner skill.
  • Tombat's Dark kit fits your party better than Gloopie's.
Verdict

Gloopie and Tombat both cover Dark DPS in the Mid (R5–7) band, but they win different fights. Gloopie leans on Sticky Princess and a 100 attack frame. Tombat answers with Ultrasonic Sensor and 100 attack (80 Defense vs 70). Pick the partner skill and bulk profile that match how you actually fight — not just the rarer dex number.
