Tropius (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Harvest
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Roost/Rest/Earthquake
- Natural Gift
- Bullet Seed/Leaf Blade
I've had success in using this set in lower tiers. The main aim with lum berry natural gift is to gain a STAB base 80 physical flying type attack for Tropius to use, preferred over aerial ace, air cutter, air slash, and fly. In conjunction with dragon dance, Tropius acts as a set up sweeper. Rest can be used in conjunction with lum, but that puts more pressure ob the harvest ability to restore the lum for future use, so roost is a more viable option. Leaf blade or bullet seed for grass type STAB. EQ for coverage option.
I'd also like to point out that this set can also be adapted into a bulky subseed Tropius build as well, with natural cure, leech seed, rest + lum/chesto, and/or subprotect for stall shenanigans, though honestly Tropius sure needs a huge buff like a megastone or evo rather than a 20 bp berry boost.

wasn't mentioned because we are discussing its use in OU. Maybe if he got a mega ;o
If he got a mega he couldn't hold a Berry...
Touche. Regular Evo would have to do it then. Lulz
You never know,GF may give it a ability which let's it hold an item(no harvest still :D)but then if he has good stats and uses life orb,he could be a monster
