The Power of Unburden!

Here are some of the more successful Unburden Movesets that I've tried:

Sceptile (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd (I probably could but some Speed into HP, but yeah)
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Leaf Blade
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake

First off, the physical Variant of a Gen3 Gem.. Sceptile is the funnest Starter to use IMO, as he's completely unpredictable. Usually he's a Subseeder, Special Attacker, or a Mixed Sweeper but people forget about his decent 85 Attack stat. The basic strategy to this set is spam Sub until you get in Liechi Berry range, the sweep (and Acrobatics gets a great boost once he eats the Berry).

Sceptile (F) @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Giga Drain/Sloarbeam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Focus Blast

And here's the Special attacker. Again, it's mostly the same premise; Sub down to Berry-eating levels, get the Unburden Boost, and attempt to sweep. One of the cool things about this set, is that Sceptile can get some of it's HP lost by Subbing back through using Giga Drain. Another option is SolarBeam for a Sunny Day team, as HP [Fire] also gets a nice pseudo-STAB. Focus Blast rounds out the set as a coverage move and prevents him from being walled by Heatran and the like.

Hitmonlee (M) @ Normal Gem
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Mach Punch/Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Fake Out

One of my favorite Pokemon ever is finally able to abuse his Unburden ability with the Normal Gem+Fake Out. He functions as a nice Anti-Lead or Physical Sweeper. After he is faster than anything else on the field, he can sweep with STAB Close Combat and Earthquake. The first moveslot is a toss up between Mach Punch for priority or Stone Edge for extra coverage as he's so fast he won't need priority much.

Will Add Drifblim set

It should be noted that both Liechi and Petaya berries are unreleased as of yet, making any teams the Sceptile sets are in DW, but otherwise a very cool Ability haha. On a side note, wouldn't Giga Drain on the Petaya set be a tad counterproductive? I would say that you should at least slash in Energy Ball on that note

Moreover, for Drifblim I found that, at least in Gen 4, a simple Sub+CM set works quite well. Something along the lines of:

Teh Zeppelin (Drifblim) (M) @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 108 HP / 252 SAtk / 148 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Calm Mind
- Substitute

Obviously tailored to fit the 4th Gen NU metagame, the idea was to simply Sub down to berry level, netting CM boosts on the way. With the given speed investment, Drifblim would outrun Timid Scarf Rotom (basically the fastest thing in the metagame) once activating Unburden. Of course, considering the nature of the metagame now, I would suggest running a spread of
12 Hp/4 Def/252 SpAtk/240 Spd, in order to outrun Scarfed base 105's. Anywho, just thought I'd put in my two cents

I once watched a person on youtube named gigatitan...

He is a trick stormer and his deadly combo is driftblim and regigigas

His regigigas has a persim berry

First, the driftblim uses skill swap on gigas then uses swagger kills the berry and ~TA DA!~ ready to sweep murderouslty gigas

heres another example:

[Only admins are allowed to see this image] Drifblim.... try using this awesome stall set.
Drifblim (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 100 Def / 255 SAtk / 52 SDef / 100 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hex
- Calm Mind
- Ominous Wind
- Substitute/Protect

Well, Theres a ton of combos with drifblim with this set, a few things i gotta say, Calm mind to your focus sash, and this is like quiver dance because of the unburden, so chill. 3 things to be safe: Hex, toxic spikes from a support, and stealth rock from a support. this drifblim will rock your organs out. so. Substitute makes you do as much calm minds as you want, but no unburden, but the good part of this is that doing ominous winds as much as you can within the substitutes and the pp of ominous wind. but the element of luck decides. increasing all stats, which as a bit more useful than calm mind and the focus sash. and protect makes your opponent suffer more poison from an ally's toxic spikes from before. do that before sending drifblim out with the stealth rock, so you can make this guy in the middle of the wire (my way of saying can be a support or attacker at the same time) dont forget to add an attacker or two to support the drifblim from having to take care of steel types, dark types, normal types and of course, the taunters

And i recommend you take the look on one of your sceptiles, cuz they both look awesome

Wats the link, i wanna see an example of him using it!!!

Those are both really nice sets. 49th's is more self-sufficient, but Latios' can tear stuff up with the proper support. Here's mine:

[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
Drifblim:@ Focus Sash
Hasty nature
Unburden
252 spatt, 252 spd, 6 att
-Explosion/ Destiny Bond
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power [Fighting]
-Hypnosis

First turn:
Opponent uses [insert move here that will take the Blimp down to Focus Sash saving range]!
Drifblim uses Hypnosis and shuts it down! (its okay if it misses)

Second Turn:
Driflblim uses Destiny Bond/Explosion if Hypnosis missed or hits the switch-in hard with Shadow Ball/HP [Fighting]

Third Turn (if it's still alive):
Use Explosion/Destiny Bond if it didn't use it last turn

I use this strategy to take out huge threats that would be a problem for my team otherwise.

That looks very Nice, i love it
But if you know of any other unburden pokes, tell me, and ill try to form a combo with it
and that looks to me like both of 49th's and Mine COMBINED
