Probopass @ Life Orb
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 16 HP / 252 SpA / 240 Spe
Modest Nature
- Rock Polish
- Earth Power
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt

I present to you the elusive Rock Polish Probopass. The idea is to pair this with Nasty Pass Togetic and use its natural bulk to set up a Rock Polish. Its actually decently strong after the +2 special attack boost and a life orb and with its EV spread outspeeds everything at or below 110 speed. I actually beat Magnemite with this set so its not the worst thing around and fun to mess with. Gotta love bulky sweepers.

Probopass @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 168 HP / 252 SpA / 88 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Pain Split
- Flash Cannon
- Earth Power

Tho this set will need more support than standard Probopass, it can still force some switchs, allowing Probopass to get off a Substitute while still getting off reliable damage as well with Pain Split making up for its lack of recovery especially with this set running Substitute. Flash Cannon is for STAB and Earth Power dents Pawniard, Probopass, and other Steel-types.

Probopass @ Custap Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Magic Coat
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion
- Toxic

Suicide lead Probopass. Magic Coat against Taunters, or even have them get rocks up on your side of the field, Stealth Rock because it's so good and incase opposing Pokemon doesn't have SR. Explosion for spin/defog blocking, and Toxic to wittle down the opposing Pokemon and stuff.

Probopass @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Force
EVs: 160 HP / 252 SpA / 96 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Power Gem
- Earth Power

Sand Force AV Probopass. This mostly started out as a joke to echo Regice @ AV, but it turned out it wasn't terrible. Use with a Hippopotas to activate Sand Force (x1.3 damage on your Rock, Steel and Ground moves), while increasing your special defense by yet another level. Even with Sand Force, your opponent still doesn't actually know that you don't have Magnet Pull, so you're able to bluff MP and trap in some scenarios. After AV and Sand, your special defense is 756 (336 x1.5 x1.5) and takes even Fighting type hits. For example, Mr. Mime's Scarf Focus Blast isn't even a 2HKO, while the boost from Sand Force allows you to OHKO Mr. Mime with Flash Cannon. Currently, the only special threat that this set has a problem with is Specs Poliwrath, as far as I can see. After the removal of your opponent's physical ground / fighting mons, like Throh, Marowak and Poliwrath, this Probopass becomes VERY difficult to take down.
