This is the chronicle of an attempt I had with Mekkah to do the most damage possible. He had just completed a go in which a level 100 Heatran, with +6 special attack, blaze/flash fire activated with a choice specs, during Sunny Day, used Eruption on a level 1 Dry Skin Paras with -6 special defense. According to Shoddy, this did % damage. Realizing that there was some untapped potential in the vein of Pure/Huge Power, and that rollout would clock at an even more respectable percentage given its obscene power on turn 5, I convinced him to have a run with this idea.
The basic premise was to transfer Pure Power, a defense curl, and 6 Swords Dances to a choice banding Rhyperior, who would proceed to use Rollout and eventually superkill a level 1 Combee with a 6 stage defense reduction on turn 5 of rollout, having a whopping 5616 attack. To do this, we decided to give the attacking team Smeargle (Baton Pass, Spore, Defense Curl, Skill Swap)/Leafeon (Synthesis, Swords Dance, Baton Pass)/Rhyperior (Rollout), and the defending team Medicham (Calm Mind)/Smeargle (Close Combat, Baton Pass)/Ninjask (Substitute, Baton Pass)/Natu (Focus Sash, Baton Pass)/Combee.
Attempt 1
Everything went well until Rollout missed on turn 2. Which was a shame.
Attempt 2
Rollout misses again, we decided not to take any chances next round.
Revised moveset- Offensive Smeargle: Baton Pass/Defense Curl/Skill Swap/Sweet Scent
Attempt 3
His Smeargle nearly ko's mine with cc. We get off the stat increases, bp to Rhyperior...and realize he only has 3 pokemon with a focus sash.
Revised moveset- Defense Smeargle: Baton Pass/Close Combat/Splash
New pokemon- Ninjask: Substitute/Baton Pass
Attempt 4
Rollout finally connects on turn 5...only some quick calculations make us realize that pure power was not bp'd to Rhyperior, and more damage should be done. We realize I'll need to lead Medicham, and he'll need to lead Smeargle and eventually skill swap for it to be transferred.
Attempt 5
His Smeargle skill swaps Rhyperior when it bp's in, giving him pure power. Unfortunately, we realized the bp chain would no longer work, as Rhyperior was slower than Smeargle. If he bp'd to a subbing Ninjask it would get ko'd, and that would wreck the defense decreases. So, we decided we would put Rhyperior to sleep.
Revised moveset: Defensive Smeargle with Spore/Splash/Baton Pass/Close Combat
Attempt 6
We realize almost immediately Smeargle has no way of Skill Swapping.
Revised moveset: Defensive Smeargle with Splash/Baton Pass/Close Combat/Skill Swap
Revised pokemon: Adamant Rhyperior with 252 speed iv's
Attempt 7
<Mekkah> Rhyperior used Rollout.*
<Mekkah> It's super effective!*
<Mekkah> Combee lost 214408973% of its health.
Finally, it all comes together.
But, we're not necessarily done, as that did not hit for a critical. If Sniper were skill swapped to Rhyperior and it landed a critical hit, the damage would be slightly more. The problem with this, and reason we did not attempt it, is that Shoddy does not yet have Focus Energy, so you're playing for a 6.25% chance of a critical. Another idea of note is choice banding power trick Shuckle. To pull this one off, it would be necessary for Smeargle to skill swap Pure Power to Shuckle as soon as it is bp'd 6 defense boosts. Then, a Klutz Lopunny would need to bp in, and to use Trickaroo and give it a Choice Band on turn 2 of Rollout, and bp to 2 focus sash holders who then bp to Combee. The problem being, Lopunny can't take that sort of punishment (the sort that comes from a 30 power move used by a pokemon with 11052 attack, and of a 60 power move used with 16578 attack). The only way I see around this is for Lopunny to come in on a Substitute, use Trickaroo on Shuckle, and keep making subs until rollout comes to a climax, at which point the cycle would begin again and 4 focus sash holders would bp back and forth before baton passing to Combee. If anyone wants to try this, do so and post your results in an attempt to beat the standing record of 214408973%.
Good luck.
