    Lilligant @ Focus Sash
    Ability: Own Tempo
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: (My Lilligant's EVs are too spread, but basically HP/SpAtk/Spd)
    -Quiver Dance
    -Giga Drain
    -Sleep Powder
    -Petal Dance

    Switch in and pray the sash activates (provided you get a 1HKO). Shoot for Sleep Powder and, if it lands, try to get at least two Quiver Dances in. End it with Giga Drain.

    Zebstrika @ Air balloon
    Ability: Sap Sipper
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
    - Flame charge
    - Wild charge
    - Thrash / frustration
    - pursuit

    Perfect counter, sap sipper counters all 3 of lilligants moves and turns them into attack buffs. Not too fussed about quiver dance either, because it boosts Sp.Def and zebstrika is all about physical.

  • I would bring Quagsire out again for another round but since hes already been countered, instead I'll go with;

    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 252 SpA/ 126 Spe/ 130 HP
    ~Hydro Pump
    ~Rain Dance
    ~Earth Power
    ~Sludge Wave

    Switch in, on a resisted attack, rain dance then proced to sweep

  • Cradily
    346.gif

    -Stealth Rock
    -Giga Drain
    -Recover
    -Hidden Power (Rock/Ground/Fire)
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Storm Drain

    Cradily turns Seismitoad's Hydro Pumps into Special Attack boosts courtesy of Storm Drain and doesn't take much from its other moves, even though being poisoned by Sludge Wave could be annoying. It also hits Seismitoad with a 4x super-effective with Giga Drain.

  • my bad c[:

    For Cradilly I'll use one obvious pokemon ^-^

    Lucario
    @life orb
    Sword dance
    Drain punch
    Iron tail
    Extreme speed

    Lucario can come in on stealth rick with ease. His typing als helps because steel resist grass and rock., and fighting resists rock.... Well on the offensive side jst one sword dance will escalate his attack to nearly 700. So drain punch could ohko or almost ohko cradily. Either way his hp will be restored ;D so if cradily kives I'll use another sword dance and the murder cradily. On to the next pokemon, a sword dance boosted extreme speed will either ohko or 2hko nearly any pokemon in the metagame. aside from pokemon like probopass and steelix but a drain punch calm them down. And drain punch punch here and there also cures life orb's recoil so have fun <(^-^)>

  • Gliscor (F) @ Toxic Orb
    Trait: Poison Heal
    EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spd
    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Earthquake
    - Substitute
    - Protect
    - Toxic

    Ok I have to admit that toxic-stalling gliscor is pretty ***, but it's so good. It can come in on virtually any move (Adamant max attack iron tail does less than half) and outspeed even jolly/naive/hasty max speed lucarios with my ev spread and always ohko with EQ. So even if it SD's on the switch, it's fine. Toxic orb also heals the damage it might've done with iron tail
     

    Ho-Oh

    Swanna @ Life Orb
    Trait: Hydration
    4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
    Naive
    - Surf
    - Hurricane
    - Ice Beam
    - Rain Dance

    Earthquake can't touch it, and since it doesn't roost it won't be affected by it at all. With Hydration it can either stall out Gliscor's Toxic through setting up Rain Dance then proceeding to use rain-boosted Surf on Gliscor or just Surf without bothering to stall out Toxic, or just outright Ice Beam it (included Ice Beam because the set seemed to cater towards NU with Cryogonal - which isn't there anymore, sooo). n_n

  • Lanturn @ Leftovers
    Trait: Volt Absorb
    40 HP/136 SpAtk/252 SpDef/80 Spe
    Calm Nature
    -Scald
    -Volt Switch
    -Thunder Wave
    -Ice Beam

    Lanturn is an adorable pkmn and Swanna can't really do much to it, thanks to the investment in SpDef, the calm nature, and the fact that it resists all of Lanturn's attacks. If Swanna stays in on Lanturn then it gets OHKO'd by Volt Switch. If it switches then momentum goes back to the player using Lanturn.

    If Gliscor nabs a sub on the switch to swanna, it can actually LO stall swanna, switching between protect and substitute. Substitute has 16 PP, and LO inflicts 10% recoil every time. Believe it or not, Gliscor can actually win the match-up because swanna doesnt have roost. Although it requires really good prediction(something i obviously don't have xD), gliscor actually beats swanna one-on-one if it has a sub up.



    But hey,

    Hairy Mama (Hariyama) (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Guts
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Earthquake
    - Close Combat
    - Ice Punch/Filler
    - Bulk Up/Filler

    Easily comes in on any of Lanturn's attacks thanks to guts and gigantic Hp stat. A non-guts-boosted EQ has a good chance of knocking it out, while a guts-boosted one is a sure ohko.

  • Gengar
    094.gif

    -Substitute
    -Disable
    -Shadow Ball
    -Focus Blast
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk252 Spe
    Item: Black Sludge

    Gengar can switch in to anything Hariyama does, except for Ice Punch. If Hariyama didn't use Ice Punch on the switch, Gengar can set up a Sub as Hariyama switches out, or, for some reason, uses Ice Punch to break it. Gengar then uses Disable to disable Ice Punch, leaving Hariyama absolutely helpless against it, as Gengar is immune to Earthquake and Close Combat (why you'd use EQ alongside CC is beyond me, as both have redundant coverage).

  • Vaporeon (F) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Water Absorb
    EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Wish
    - Protect

    Walls SubDisable gar to no end. As shadow ball does 21.3% - 25.2%, vaporeon can just heal itself with with and protect. It also carries two attacking moves, of which ice beam does a minimum of 35.9%, it can just keep attacking gengar until it dies

  • Breloom @ Focus Sash
    Ability: Technician
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    - Bulk Up
    - Spore
    - Seed Bomb
    - Force Palm

    So long as Vaporeon doesn't use Ice Beam, switch in to take a Scald and pray for no burns. Use Spore until (provided you defend with Protect) Vaporeon is asleep, Bulk Up once (or twice if you're feeling lucky), then go for a Seed Bomb. Should be enough to one-shot Vaporeon.
