Which hoenn starters would you say will be the best?

I know that all of them are going to be extremely good when given their CD moves. But when they get their CD moves, which one do you think will be the most relevant/useful raid and PvP wise?

Wondering as im going to be doing a lot of trades for luckies and wonder which to focus on in both trades and raids (of the second stages).

PvP: Swampert. Sceptile already has LB while Blaziken doesn't bring anything to the table even with BB that would compensate for its glassiness.

Raids: Depends on the raid bosses. There are no legendaries in gen 4 against which any of them are relevant, but in gen 5 we get Swords of Justice, each of which has a weakness to at least one starter type. Unfortunately for the starters, there are a fair number of better attackers against most of them, but against Cobalion, C/BB Blaziken seems to have the highest DPS of any pokemon.

They'll all become the top non-legendaries of their types and there are always reruns and non-legendary raids to use them in, if they get the starter exclusive moves.
Focus on the ones that are most time sensitive. Treecko first, then Torchic, then Mudkip.

And all seem unopposed for best attacker of their type for, at least, nonlegendaries for now at least (I know that primarina and greninja threaten swampert, but they are a very long time away)?

All three of them look amazing, im hoping to get some good ones of each.

Swampert in PvP with hydrocannon, I assume that's going to be great for master league? I know in ultra and great that's held by blastoise

It is likely, but not certain, that Swampert will get Hydro Cannon. Given it's Ground typing, it could also get an exclusive Ground move.

A good ground move would be welcome, but I think they are going to continue with the CD moves being the elemental hyperbeams. I good ground move however is something greatly needed on ground types

Empoleon could compete with Swampert if a move revamp gave it WG as fast move and then it got HC. Less bulk, tiny bit higher attack, steel type is great for resistances.
