Do I need a threat list? (RMT)

Driftblim @ Petaya Berry/Salac Berry
Nature: Modest
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Hypnosis/Baton Pass

Thoughts?

I would suggest Extremespeed over Psychic for Lucario since you already have Dark Pulse. I know it's a normal attack but it has a good enough base damage to be a finishing attack when the opponent is at low HP. Or against pokemon with Focus Sash.

My Drifblim set is fine as it is. I'm not trying to sweep with Drifblim, so I do not need two attacking moves or a +SAtk nature. I could even change it if I wanted since this is for Wi-Fi, and I really want to use my shiny Drifblim. Hypnosis is an egg move, so I can't use that either.

If I'm using any priority attack, it will be Vaccum Wave. Psychic is for Heracross anyways, who I have a bit of trouble against since Gliscor doesn't have Aerial Ace.
 
Listen Fufu, you haven't been very open-minded, so it would be appreciated if you start taking more suggestions in.

Recycle ups Drifblim's speed as well as using an item
 
I haven't been open-minded because most of the suggestions would make my team or individual worse instead of actually improving it.

What would Recycle even go over? Calm Mind is necessary, as well as Baton Pass. That leaves me with Substitute and Thunderbolt. Substitute is almost a must because Drifblim passes massive Subs, and it also protects it from things such as Pursuit, U-Turn, and it is useful when the opponent switches. It is also a safe way to assure I get to 1/4 HP for the Salac Berry to work. That leaves Thunderbolt, which is used for phazers like Skarmory and Vaporeon. Also, if I don't have any attacking moves, my Drifblim will be heaviliy countered by anything with faster than it with Taunt.
 
Mantine and Honchkrow are UU while Pelipper is probably NU.

Honchkrow can't do anything to Gliscor anyways, unless it's using some sort of Choice Specs set.

And Pelipper is major lol

The Lucario isn't trained yet?

I believe it was which I suggested Exremespeed over Vacuum Wave. Vacumm Wave is still a good option. Though Choice Scarf Heracross is dangerous.
 
I haven't even begun breeding for this team yet, so thankfully, many changes can still be made.

Vacuum Wave and Extremespeed are exactly the same, except Vacuum Wave has base 40 power, is special, and is a Fighting type move. That's it.

Gliscor counters Choice Scarf Heracross well enough, imo. It doesn't have the raw power of CBHera, so it should easily be able to Roost of the damage from Stone Edge, and Knock Off its Choice Scarf.

Then again, I could just run AA>Knock Off and deal with Heracross like that.
