Empoleon cannot learn the move Aqua Blade. This is primarily due to there being no move called Aqua Blade currently in Pokemon.
hydro cannon
Empoleon is not able to learn the HM move Fly. Typically only Flying type Pokemon can learn the move Fly with only a small handful being the exception. And most of those exceptions have the ability Levitate.
Best move set: Aurasphere, Air Slash , Sky Uppercut and Fly
Drill Peck is not a TM, but if you want this move, start with a piplup and your empoleon can learn it.
