Recycled Baton Pass Driblim


Sorry about the late post again, forgot this week...
This choice is kinda interesting as it is probably the most versatile moveset I have ever made in that this guy can baton pass any stat boost you want.

Nature: Impish

IV: 30 HP

Evs: 80 HP / 252 Def / 178 SpDef

Ability: Unburden

Item: Sitrus Berry (HP)/ Liechi Berry (Attack)/ Ganlon Berry (Defense)/ Salac Berry (Speed)/ Petaya Berry (SpAttack)/ Apicot Berry (SpDefense)/ Lansat Berry (Critical Ratio)/ Starf Berry (Random thing +2 boost)

Moveset:
Recycle
Substitute
Baton Pass
Calm Mind / Stockpile / Shadow Ball / Ominous Wind

Basically the set works like this. You sub down to the boost, then your berry activates, your speed gets boosted by unburden at the same time. You then can then recycle if your sub is still there, or baton pass if you choose. Somewhere in the middle of all this you can throw in a stockpile or calm mind, which will not only make your subs harder to break but also allow you to pass more boosts. Also an intersting thing I found that if your hp is at a level where the berry would normally activate, then when you recyle it instantly activates. This allows you to put a sitrus berry on as a rather mediocre healing move, but you get the bonus of speed everytime your berry activates. Since this thing is actually UU, try using it there for extra effectiveness. Lansat berry's are fun though because passing boosted critical ratios is always fun. The IV's for HP are there because this creates a divisible by 4 HP, as long as you get one of these then you are set.

Counters: Anythink that is notable for breaking subs... Which in this situation your only worry is beat up. There may be more, but stuff like bonemerang, and furry swipes do not affect driflbim. Other than that if you are good at predicting, you will pass at least one boost.

Overall: Fun set to use, somewhat effective in OU, but really effective in UU.
