Contrary Serperior with Draco Meteor would be nasty.

If Malamar could get shell smash and stored power.
Contrary kinda deffeats the puprose of this combo.
Contary Shell Smash gives -4 combat stages total and -2 SpA.

it's not like Contrary is the only ability Malamar has, even if it is probably the most popular. But then, this combo would be better on something with Simple or more SATK than Malamar.

To be honest, just about ANY Pokemon with Shell Smash access is an instantly terrifying Sweeper unless you have Contrary (+2 to your offense of choice and +2 Speed is crazy). But if you have Contrary in play and a pseudo Cosmic Power is your gimmick, you're better off using Close Combat.

If you were running a hypothetical Shell Smash Malamar, personally I'd suggest Infiltrator, at least ignoring Substitute and Screens is useful when you're already buffing that high. But Suction Cups wouldn't be too bad either, considering you wouldn't be able to get Phased out. In the latter case, Malamar is hands-down the best offensive user of the Ability. In the case of Infiltrator, it's actually got some competition there, namely from Chandelure and Noivern.

Technically we're going into Abilities there, if we added in Abilities too we may enter full-blown Theorymons territory.

No, since we're talking about Pokemon + move.

And even if we were talking about Pokemon + ability, the answer is still no.

This.

Wonder Guard is a borked ability on everything bar pretty much Shedinja or Ice Types, to the point that if you're playing a Hackmons game, a Mold Breaker is a NECESSITY, so most people carry at least two.

Inb4 Huge Power Mega Mewtwo X.

I don't think there's a person here on the Internet who doesn't get the Mega Man X4 reference.

To add to the topic: Tyranitar with a Rock-type Quick Attack.

Seriously, to me, the existence of a Rock-type Quick Attack, or any physical Rock-type move with 100% native accuracy, would be more than welcome.
