I guess we need to test it somehow.
Damage calculations!
In a double battle, a lv100 Charizard with a 31 SpA IV and 252 SpA EV's and a SpA-boosting nature, having been baton passed 3 nasty plots and been the target of helping hand, holding Choice Specs with Blaze activated in the sun...using blast burn and gaining a critical hit against...a lv1 Paras with a 0 SpD IV and 0 SpD EV's and a SpD-lowering nature, having been the target of Fake Tears 3 times, with Dry Skin, does an average of...

In a double battle, a lv100 Shuckle with a 31 Def IV and 252 Def EV's and a Def-boosting nature, having been baton passed 3 swords dances and a power trick (note: power trick does not affect boosts like swords dance/calm mind/etc) and been the target of helping hand, with a maxed-out metronome...using the fifth rollout after defence curling and gaining a critical hit against...a lv1 Ledyba with a 0 Def IV and 0 Def EV's and a Def-lowering nature, having been the target of Screech 3 times, does an average of...
65,594,796 HP of damage!
I think we have a winner.
By comparison, the most powerful Explosion in the game is from Regirock or Steelix, with absolute max Def, Choice Band, baton-passed power trick and +6 Atk, helping-hand-boosted, critical-hitting a lv1 Chansey with absolute min Def and -6 Def. That is an average of 1,429,297 damage.
And I'm putting up another question: in DPPt, your rival is very reckless, so much so that the first time you see him exiting a pokemon center is when? Note: I literally replayed Platinum over the past week or so with this question in mind, so I'm ABSOLUTELY SURE I have the right answer.
