    Nature: Lonely
    Ability: Teravolt
    EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Special Attack

    Have fun with this one:).

  • Conkeldurr @ Leftovers
    Ability: Guts
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
    Adamant Nature
    - Drain Punch
    - Mach Punch
    - Ice Punch
    - Bulk Up(or something else, doesn't matter a lot) XD

    252+ Atk Teravolt Kyurem-B Dragon Claw vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Conkeldurr: 183-216 (44.2 - 52.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

    252+ Atk Conkeldurr Drain Punch vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Kyurem-B: 318-374 (81.3 - 95.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
    252+ Atk Conkeldurr Mach Punch vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Kyurem-B: 168-200 (42.9 - 51.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

    Kyurem-B could at best 3HKO Conkeldurr while Conkeldurr can tank the second assured hit, survive with lefties, then hit with Drain Punch to heal a good bit, then Mach Punch the following turn for the KO.

  • Jellicent @ Leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb
    EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
    Bold Nature
    - Recover
    - Toxic
    - Scald
    - Giga Drain

    Either resists or is immune to all of Conkeldurr's attacks and will either take it down by scald or toxic. I don't care if Conkeldurr has Guts, Ice Punch still isn't doing much. :P

    Shaymin @ Life Orb
    Trait: Natural Cure
    EVs: 232 HP / 252 SAtk / 24 Spd
    Modest Nature
    - Rest
    - Seed Flare
    - Hidden Power [Ice]
    - Earth Power

    It's not very effective to Jellicent's Giga Drain, and with only about a couple of Seed Flare attacks, it could take Jellicent down within a blink of an eye. If it ever gets poisoned with Toxic or burnt with Scald, it should be able to restore itself with Rest. :b

  • Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
    Ability: Poison Heal
    244 HP / 252 Def / 12 Spe
    Impish Nature
    - Taunt
    - Roost
    - Toxic
    - Earthquake

    Taunt shuts down Slack off and Stockpile, absorbs Toxic, and takes no damage from Earthquake. Gliscor can then fire off a Toxic of its own. Strangely enough this set can "counter" itself.

    Easy 180% w/ Thunderbolt, easy 100% with Shadowball. Jolteon's movepool sucks.

    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
    Bold Nature
    - Giga Drain
    - Hidden Power [Ice]
    - Focus Blast
    - Synthesis

    My go to defensive wall. Dugtrio can't touch Tangrowth and the shambling tangle of vines simply uses Giga Drain to heal back up any meager damage it has suffered.

    Arena Trap

    Earthquake/Reversal/Stone Edge/sucker punch

    Traps, Outspeeds, OHKs with EQ.

    Dugtrio is a check, not a counter. It gets OHKO'd if Jolteon uses HP Ice when Dugtrio switches in.

    252 SpA Choice Specs Jolteon Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Dugtrio: 234-276 (110.3 - 130.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Trick
    - Flamethrower
    - Shadow Ball

    Chandelure resists all of Tangrowth's moves and OHKOs it with Flamethrower.

    After it gets sent out on the field, Honchkrow would immediately start Night Slashing. Before you even know it, Chandelure would be out of sight.

    My mistake, will try to do it properly in future.

    Zapdos @ leftovers
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP /252 Sp.Atk /4 speed
    Timid Nature(+Speed - Atk)
    -Thunderbolt
    -Heat Wave
    -Substitute
    -Roost

    Bulky Zapdos can switch into everything, including a night slash crit from Honchkrow and Outspeeds and OHKs with T-Bolt.

  • Honchkrow @ Life Orb
    Trait: Super Luck
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Night Slash
    - Brave Bird
    - Superpower
    - Roost

    After it gets sent out on the field, Honchkrow would immediately start Night Slashing. Before you even know it, Chandelure would be out of sight.

    Not exactly.

    252+ SpA Chandelure Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Honchkrow: 292-345 (72.2 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

    Basically, not only should your Pokemon be able to defeat your foe, it should also be able to switch into any of its moves. Honchkrow takes over 70% when it switches into Chandelure's Flamethrower. In the following turn, Chandelure outspeeds Honchkrow thanks to Choice Scarf and KOs it with another Flamethrower before Honchkrow can do anything to strike back. The lack of Sucker Punch makes Honchrow nothing more than a check.

    252+ Atk Life Orb Honchkrow Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chandelure: 398-471 (152.4 - 180.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    Anyway,

    Flygon (M) @ Choice Band
    Trait: Levitate
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Outrage
    - Earthquake
    - U-turn
    - Stone Edge

    Flygon is unaffected by Thunderbolt and it takes 19.9 - 23.5% from Heat Wave. Zapdos is OHKO'd by Stone Edge or Outrage.
