You may need to wear out the screens, though.
Smashpass is a cheesy strat but it does have several flaws and really breaks apart if you ever deny Smeargle the pass / counter the recipient. Lum Tyranitar and Lum Extremekiller can deny the pass, and Adamant max speed Excadrill outruns +2 Smeargle in the sand, for instance.

Actually, there are two reliable counters to the Shell Smash + Baton Pass strategy, and Ditto is not one of them, as that is a
revenge-killer, not a
counter (though Ditto will still undeniably be the Pokémon responsible for the death of Shell Smash + Baton Pass in Wifi Ubers, just like how it has already happened in DW/No Preview Ubers). The two reliable
counters to Shell Smash + Baton Pass are:
1. Haze Xatu
2. Yawn Espeon (even this could actually fail if Smeargle uses Substitute instead of Baton Pass on the turn when Espeon Yawns... but it's reliable enough)
Anyway, when I think of offense in Übers, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Swords Dance Rayquaza + Extreme Killer Arceus offensive duo.
