I used to use Driftblim for passing Stockpiles; it worked fairly well. You just have to be very cautious, because if you decide to Stockpile on the first turn as opposed to Acrobat-ing, then any strong attacker with high speed will only burst your bubble (/badpun) and inflict massive damage and potentially KO before you can BP out. If you do decide to Acrobat on the first turn, then you may not have good enough defenses on the first and second turns to get up a Stockpile (assuming you don't KO). Of course, this is all assuming you're going up against an attacker, not a wall.

In 4th gen, I used to run a similar set, however, I used the high-risk high-reward Chesto-Resto strategy.

EDIT:

Somebody, please tell me why Throh is such a professional.
