[No Restrictions] Counter that 'mon!

[CourageHound]

Quagsire @ Leftovers
Trait: Unaware
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/ 180 Def/ 72 SpD
~Recover
~Earthquake
~Curse
~Waterfall

Switch in with that handy double restiance to rock and steel, ignoring you attack boosts. Heal, get a curse here and there and proceed to KO after you're done being greedy with curse boosts.

[Syltti]

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.

[Crescend]

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.

[CourageHound]

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

Seismitoad @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
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

[PlatinumDude]

Cradily

-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.

[Sira420]

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 <(^-^)>

[RandomTrainerWhoCould]

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

[Forever]

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

[Fire Flyy]

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.

[PlatinumDude]

Gengar

-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).

[RandomTrainerWhoCould]

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

[Syltti]

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.

[RandomTrainerWhoCould]

ooh techyloom :]

Crobat (F) @ Chesto Berry
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 176 HP / 192 Atk / 4 SDef / 136 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Taunt
- Roost/Rest
- Super Fang

The most underrated Pokemon in UU.

It can burn its chesto berry by coming in on spore, outspeed, and ohko it with brave bird

[11wildy]

Rhydon@Eviolite
Lightningrod
252atk/252spdef/4def
Stone edge
Earthquake
Megahorn
Aqua tail

Come in on anything, kill with Stone edge.

[Roub]

Milotic@Focus sash
Marvel scale
Nature (idk the one that boosts defense and lowers special attack)
Evs 252def/252spd/4hp
Aqua tail
Aqua ring
Recover
Hydro pump (filler)

Switch into anything (maybe not megahorn) and tank it and if not focus sash will leave with one health, Set up aqua ring, or recover depending on damage taken and just spam aqua tail

Impish you mean. Also, why would you use an Impish Milotic? ._. Milotic is best at special attacking; its physical Attack isn't that good. Also, it's bulky enough that it doesn't need Focus Sash. Hydro Pump/Surf/Scald >>>>>>>>>>>> Aqua Tail.

Anyway:

Kingdra

-Substitute
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Outrage
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 40 HP/224 Atk/16 Def/228 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim

Kingdra 4x resists Milotic's STAB and can easily use it as setup fodder for Sub + DD (given the lack of Dragon Pulse or Ice Beam, this shouldn't be hard), then proceed to wreck it with STAB Outrage.

[BlueZoroark]

Ferrothorn @ leftovers
iron barbs
Nature:relaxed
Ev's: 252 def 252 HP 4 Atk
Stealth Rock
Leech Seed
Gyro Ball
Power Whip
Use leech seed, time for rocks if needed, whittle hp down with power whip, and eventually gyro after multiple DD's. Easily resists kingdra's moves.

[Alexial357]

Keepin this thread goin



Magnezone @ Leftovers
Magnet Pull
Timid Nature [+Speed; -Attack]
152 HP / 180 Special Attack / 176 Speed
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Charge Beam

I see no Shed Shell on your Ferrothorn, so that's why I chose Magnezone. Am I splitting hairs? Yes.

Magnezone, sporting the aforementioned set, really becomes annoying. Ferrothorn has a lot to fear from HP Fire and the potential boost in Special Attack with Charge Beam. Plus, with the raised HP investment, Ferrothorn's Power Whip won't break the Substitute.

[Pryze]

Please do, I enjoy this thread. Moving on:


Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)
Ev's: 252 Atk / 240 Hp / 16 Def
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
-Stealth Rock / Roar

Swampert, being immune to the Electric move, easily tanking HP Fire, while breaking any sub Magnezone attempts to go for. Rocks for the switch that Magnezone will obviously make.

[RandomTrainerWhoCould]

@Pryze is your name referencing Pryce the Johto gym leader? He was such a BADASS in the anime, and is my favorite gym leader :]

Tangrowth (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Power Whip
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off

As the premier physical wall in RU and possessing more physical bulk than skarm, even a super effective ice punch does 24.8% - 29.2%. It can then OHKO with STAB power whip coming from a base 100 attack, or predict the switch to *insert pokemon here* and go for HP fire, doing nice damage with its base 110 SpA. Yes, it has more special attack than Celebi. And if those options aren't your cup of tea, you can also go for leech seed or knock off on the switch, severely crippling down pokes you'd expect to switch into tangrowth

[Alexial357]

Keep this thing going!


Charizard @ Leftovers
Solar Power
Timid [+Speed; -Attack]
4 Defense / 252 Special Attack / 252 Speed
- Sunny Day
- Fire Blast
- Air Slash
- Solar Beam

Charizard would do relatively well at exploiting Tangrowth's underdeveloped Special Defense stat and because your particular set doesn't include Sleep Powder, it would have a pretty easy time switching in too. Charizard Fire Blast vs. Tangrowth : 147.52% - 174.25% OHKO not including Sun boost.

Flareon (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Last Resort
- Curse
- Wish
- Protect

This flareon... what to say. Air slash does 32.6% - 38.9%, and less if Tangrowth managed to pull off a leech seed on the switch+ Lefties recovery. Unless Airslash either gets a crit and flinches, or flinches me twice in a row(it is going to happen), it can just Curse up and WishProtect for recovery. Last resort is a 130 BP move that only works if you have used all other moves beforehand, and at +1, it deals 72.4% - 85.2% damage, enough to KO if you have three turns of solar power recoil+ three turns of leech seed.

[Forever]

Not sure why Flareon is STABless, I mean Flame Charge isn't exactly bad and it could make up the speed lost in Curse while Charizard dies, and I thought we were talking about counters on their own, not with support from the previous Pokemon mentioned :( But nevertheless I will reply!

Chandelure @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid / Modest
- Calm Mind
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power Fighting

Flareon can literally do nothing to it, as Last Resort doesn't hit it, it can Curse all it likes and it'll be set up on with Calm Mind to Shadow Ball it, or hit a switch in ~

[11wildy]

Flareon@Choice band
252atk/252 HP/4 sp def Careful
Flash fire
-Bite
-Flame Charge
-Frustration
-Dig

High sp def, can kill with Bite :p
