What is a good moveset for Drifblim?

2 votes

Mine has the ability Atermath and knows:

Shadow Ball: STAB, good power, high accuracy, decent chance to lower Sp. Def.

Thunderbolt: Good power, high accuracy, chance to paralyze, type coverage.

Hypnosis: Puts the foe to Sleep.

Calm Mind: Increases special stats.

What's Hex?
A 50 power ghost type move, that will have its poower doubled if the opponent is under a status condition, Eg. Paralysis
Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't know that attack has such a strange name in English^^ (me German)
it's 150 if it's stab like in this case wich is nice
and yeah, it needs a status to get double power
wouldnt willowisp be better by taking advantage of his high hp making him really good at taking hits
Drifblim isn't so fast, so paralysis is good to outspeed and has higher accuracy but Will-O-Wisp is also an option.
Exactly, the point is to allow it to outspeed the foe.
it's 225 with flame orb+flare boost

Similar to Trachy's set, this is just my Bulky Balloon variation:
awesome pic

Drifblim (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Aftermath
EVs: 240 HP / 164 Def / 20 SAtk / 84 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hex
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Thunder Wave
- Stockpile

Hex + Thunder Wave slows and deals a healthy STAB double damage.
Hidden Power is fighting type for full neutral coverage.
Stockpile gives this guy some bulk by raising both defenses.
EVs give it 501 HP, equal defenses and a bit of a SpAtk boost, while the nature further increases its SpAtk.
Leftovers are for recovery.

Just to let you know, I removed the huge image, even though it's great. It was taking up more space than you actual answer.

Drifblim (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

  • Substitute
  • Acrobatics
  • Baton Pass
  • Explosion

For those who don't know, Liechi berry raises your attack by one stage.
When he uses that Liechi berry, he gets a boost from Unburder, that doubles his speed.
Baton Pass gives all of his boosting away ( Not sure if it gives Underburden boost )
Acrobatics does lots of damage when you get rid of that Liechi berry, so than you can sweep.
While Explosion is the suicide approach, but really just a filler.

I love it. Let's just hope u don't run into sucker punch XD
Or Shadow-sneak or Aqua-jet because that would hurt a lot.
You cannot be serious, Drifblim has 252 Def EVs and a Bold nature topping that, Why the f*ck would aqua jet do alot?
Shadow sneak might do a little bit, but it's not a worry because of the 40 base power, and it's uncommon move anyway.

Driftblim stall/sweeper

Nature: Timid
Ability: Flare boost
EVs: 252 S.attack, 252 Speed, 6 hp
Item: Flame-orb


Will-o-wisp
Hex
Thunderbolt
HP(Ground)


Will-o-wisp is great for dropping the opponents attack thus increasing Driftblim's overall bulk. Hex benefits from Will-o-wisp and is great STAB. Thunderbolt has great coverage and if you are very fortunate they will get paralyzed. HP(Ground) is less commonly used than the HP(Fighting) but provides just as much coverage though not over ice.

Item: Flying Gem
Ability: Unburden
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 hp


Acrobatics
Sucker-punch
Return/Body-slam
Explosion/Stock-pile


Acrobatics makes a super strong STAB move with Flying gem and it activates Unburden. Sucker-punch replaces what would be Ghost coverage and is Priority. Return is for Power while Body-slam can Paralyze. Explosion is a suicide move that can be very useful while Stock-pile makes you a very bulky sweeper.

Walled by a balloon

Item: Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 252 Hp, 128 Def, 128 S.def


Stockpile
Will-o-wisp
Pain-split
Ominous-winds/Hex/Shadow-ball


Stock-pile boosts your Defenses from bad to decent in 1 move and after anther you are bulky and the 3rd makes you hard to damage. Will-o-wisp further increases your bulk by cutting attack and also serves as a stalling move. Pain-split is your way of healing and damaging. Ominous-winds is mainly a counter to taunt but has a chance of boosting your stats which is awesome but Hex and Shadow-ball are another options in-case you want more power.
