I had Drifblim on a team and it did well(Drifblim not the team) but it's weaknesses weren't really covered so I built from scratch, around it.
Drifblim @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 252 Def / 20 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Destiny Bond
- Strength Sap
- Hex
- Will-O-Wisp
The star of the team. Very good vs. physical attackers like Kartana, Mence, Chomp, DNite, Blaziken, etc.,, but not Urshifu SS and Glastrier, though it can cripple the latter. It acts a bit, or maybe a lot, like g-Corsola. I have 236 EVs in SpD on cart, cause of the high HP and low base defenses, hopefully someone has input which way is better. Somewhat self-explanatory last three moves, for beating physical attackers and doing more damage than Shadow Ball. Had Memento before but Destiny Bond seems good too, looking for feedback there as well. Destiny Bond notably fails vs. Dynamaxed Pokemon, sadly. Spe EVs for high Spe base 60s, which apparently I was wary of for some reason, and scarf Hydreigon after Unburden.
Nihilego @ Power Herb
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Meteor Beam
- Grass Knot
- Psyshock
- Sludge Wave
Really good mon, but I have to replace it eventually if I don't actually get one on cart. Standard item choice for Nihilegos, OHKOs Zapdos and Glastrier which are issues for Drifblim. Psyshock for mirrors. These tend to beat Fini as well which I needed, and grass coverage since Swampert is common, and tough otherwise.
Dracovish @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Strong Jaw
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Low Kick
- Fishious Rend
- Outrage
- Psychic Fangs
I'm not too sure about this one but I like it ok and it IS common. Low Kick for Ferro and Max Knuckle. Psychic Fangs to in theory deal w/ screens and for sure deal w/ Toxapex. Fishious Rend is ofc the main move and has been helpful vs. Nihilego and Hippo, particularly. Also hits hard neutrally so it is somewhat good vs unboosted Zapdos.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 116 HP / 100 Atk / 4 Def / 76 SpD / 212 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fly
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
I had this even before Drifblim, optimized EVs for Specs Fini and max SpA max hailstorm. Stone Edge for Zapdos, though it's still vulnerable to it. I've changed the last slot a lot, but SD seems good to boost alongside screens and cancel them out, or as they switch in their mirror to be ahead on Atk. I really like WP as an item, it helps vs., for instance, Blastoise, if I go max quake to for sure take the ice beam. Also for common things w/ max geyser and such. Spe for max 85s, could maybe run less since those are doubtless rare.

Cinderace-Gmax @ Life Orb
Ability: Libero
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Sucker Punch
- Pyro Ball
- Gunk Shot
I mostly just have this cause it's common aka good. Kinda beats Mimikyu but not if they go +2 as you switch in. Good vs. Fini w/ Gunk Shot, I need to cover those extra cause of Drifblim and Dracovish. I'm unsure about Sucker Punch but it is nice to have a 100% acc move and helps w/ some things and gives max darkness for Cresselia which sets up on Drifblim. It does hurt P2, but it's not necessarily a check, never mind a counter. Also pink blobs.
Mimikyu @ Kee Berry
Ability: Disguise
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Shadow Sneak
- Play Rough
- Swords Dance
- Curse
Also just there cause it's good. I don't think I've brought Mimikyu enough to get a sense for what it adds. At the very least Excadrill is usually very covered for it by Drifblim, Dracovish, or Landog. Regular moves except Curse which I may change. But I find Curse on ghosts to be pretty good against me so thought I should run it. Curse does do good vs. P2 which Drifblim can't hit.
So there's that. I lose about as much as I win w/ this team, but w/ the partial of it I have on cart from what little I've played I win a lot more. I have trouble vs. the Urshifus, Tapu Lele, P2, Ferro(all but Cinderace, and Ferro on their team locks me into bringing ace,) and Lapras.
