- Thunder Fang
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake

This thing covers so many types. It can cover Weavile, Gyarados, Garchomp, Tyranitar, and other stuff. Problem is, it has terrible speed. Baton Passing some Agilities to it would help. Choice Scarf doesn't seem to provide this pokemon enough boost.

Wace: It won't really need the speed, because it will only be in for around 2 turns.
If it doesn't need the speed, then let's pretty much ignore it alltogether.

Granbull @ Choice Band / Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 ATK / 252 HP / 4 Speed
- Double-Edge / Return
- Close Combat
- Crunch
- Thunder Fang or Stone Edge / Thunder Wave

Now, I like BoltBeam as much as the next guy, but having Fighting + Dark as your coverage isn't really bad either....besides, it does a lot more damage than the Fangs.
Also, if you opt for the Choice Band Set, a Thunder Fang (or a Fire Fang) or Stone Edge should help out quite a bit....
For the Life Orber, Thunder Wave will make you crap Speed seem like Ninjask Level.

Will-o-Wisp
Rest
Shadow Ball
T-Bolt/Psychic

ChestoRest that then takes advantage of Unburden. Drifblim isn't exactly a spectacular sweeper, but with the proper investment, it can get the job done.

Does anyone know the exact rate at which unburden raises speed?
I think I did this guy a while back too...a personal favorite actually:

Driftblim @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Unburden
Nature: Modest
Evs: 228 Sp.ATK / 128 DEF / 128 Sp.DEF / 24 Speed
- Calm Mind / Charge Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt / Will-O-Wisp
- Hypnosis / Will-O-Wisp

All right. It seems a bit odd, so let me explain.
Putting the EVs into DEF and Sp.DEF gives it more overall defenses than putting 252 into HP....only because it has a really HIGH HP Base.

The point of this set is to sweep...and trust me, it can do that.
You can either go Calm Mind + Thunder Bolt, or if you're happy with Charge Beam, you can go with IT and WoW for more defense.
Essentially, this things have to go fairly well for this to work.
You have to set things up just right so that when you're taken to the RED Zone, you can Activate both Petaya and Unburden.
With the Boosts from Petaya + Charge Beam/Calm Mind, along with being Modest and having 252 Sp.ATK EVs, this thing can begin to sweep easily.

If Blissey Comes in: Hypnosis (barring Sleep Clause).
