Here's a Drifblim moveset I've been toying with. I know it's pretty similar to other Drifblim sets, but I wanna know what you guys think anyway.

Drifblim @ Chesto Berry
Modest, Unburden
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 6 Spd

Rest
Baton Pass
Shadow Ball/Charge Beam/Silver Wind
Shadow Ball/Charge Beam/Silver Wind

Swing and swing and swing with the stat-raising attack, whichever you choose. When he's hurt enough, Rest and the Chesto Berry wakes him up and sets off Unburden. Swing some more and pass the stat raises (including Speed, which is guaranteed) when he's done. Hopefully the high HP base stat should let him absorb some damage. Switch in on Normal and Ground attacks for added survivability.

P.S. Not sure if Unburden's stat increase is Drifblim-exclusive or not. Correct me if it is.

Unburden is an ability only Drifloon and Drifblim can obtain.



Driftblim @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Unburden
Nature: Modest
Evs: 228 Sp.ATK / 128 DEF / 24 Sp.DEF / 128 Speed

Calm Mind
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Hypnosis

The basic idea of this set is easy to understand. Put something to sleep, Calm Mind up as much as possible, and hope luck is somewhat on your side. If all goes well, Petaya Berry + Unburden will kick in.
This will take your Sp.ATK to atleast 450 and your speed to 456 (enough to outspeed Adamant CScarf Garchomp). From there, sweep away.

Driftblim @ Petaya Berry

Charge Beam
Shadow Ball
Will-O-Wisp
Hypnosis

Much like the first set, but with the DEF and Sp.DEF Evs swapped. Why? Because of Will-O-Wisp. This is the Double-Status version of Drifblim. Calm Mind + Thunderbolt were replaced with the much less powerful (but potentially deadlier) Charge Beam. Hypnosis + WoW allow you to attempt to Charge Beam up further.

If Petaya Berry were replaced with Salac Berry, what else could it outspeed?

Couldn't say it would be the fastest pokemon alive (I mean we are talking about a Drifblim afterall) but i'd imagine with the boost from the Salac Berry, it could outspeed a decent number of pokes.

Yeah. Also don't expect Drifblim to sweep out a whole team. There is bound to be a Metagross with Bullet Punch to take off the last bit of your HP.

I've just recently trained up a Drifblim.

Modest - Aftermath(I didn't care about it's nature and it's saved me a couple of times)
Sitrus Berry

Thunder Wave
Calm Mind
Shadow Ball
Baton Bass

252 EVs for HP and Sp.Attack

It's a Support Pokemon
It can usually hold off against strong attacks, but if a critical hit comes along, it's buggered.

Choatic-Magic's set looks good, quite similar to a set I've met on Shoddy.
