    Celebi @ Choice Specs
    Trait: Natural Cure
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Leaf Storm
    - Earth Power
    - Shadow Ball
    - Psychic

    With Leaf Storm, Jellicent could be easily defeated. Shadow Ball works, too. Also, it's got enough bulk to endure a few Scalds that Jellicent throws at it.

  • Rhyperior @ Choice Band
    Trait: Solid Rock
    EVs: 252 HP / 140 Atk / 116 SpD
    Adamant Nature

    - Stone Edge
    - Earthquake
    - Megahorn
    - ThunderPunch

    Stone Edge easily OHKOes Togekiss, while Dazzling Gleam fails to 2HKO (albeit barely).

    140+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Togekiss: 552-650 (177.4 - 209%) -- guaranteed OHKO
    252+ SpA Togekiss Dazzling Gleam vs. 252 HP / 116 SpD Rhyperior: 183-216 (42.1 - 49.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

    Suicune @ Leftovers
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Calm Mind
    - Scald
    - Rest
    - Sleep Talk

    Due to Choice Band, Rhyperior would be stuck to Stone Edge, which Suicune is bulky enough to endure. After it's sent out on the field, it would immediately use Scald and take down Rhyperior. If it's ever in low HP, it should always be able to recover itself with Rest. With Sleep Talk, it could continue attacking while it's asleep. :]

  • Lickilicky @ Leftovers
    Ability: Cloud Nine
    EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 Atk
    Careful Nature
    - Return
    - Toxic
    - Wish
    - Protect

    The premiere special wall in NU. The perfect pokemon to counter one of the best sweepers in NU.


    4 Atk Lickilicky Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Ludicolo: 129-153 (42.7 - 50.6%) -- 1.2% chance to 2HKO

    252+ SpA Life Orb Ludicolo Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Lickilicky: 101-121 (23.8 - 28.5%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

    252+ SpA Life Orb Ludicolo Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Lickilicky: 149-177 (35.1 - 41.7%) -- 81% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

    Lickilicky can Wish itself to sustain that damage while Ludicolo is getting worn down thanks to Life Orb recoil. Lickilicky can either Toxic stall, or go on the offensive with Return. Either way, it's gg to Ludicolo.

    EVs: 252 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
    Moves: Hyper Voice (which is techinically possible to get at this point), Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Calm Mind

    Doesn't care much about a burn or Foul Play, and a Pixilated Hyper Voice puts Sableye in its place.

    Nature: Bold
    248 HP / 244 Def / 16 SpA
    ~ Scald

    Bulky enough to take various hits from Metagross, cripples it with Thunder Wave, and then finishes off with a few Scalds.

  • Ampharos @ leftovers
    Ability: Static
    Nature: Modest
    4 HP/252 SpA/252 Def
    Thunderbolt
    Cotton Gaurd
    Heal Bell
    Thunder wave

    Slowbro is a final form, eviolite has no effect. A thunderbolt can finish it off no problem due to its low special defense.
    Aah you changed it to assault vest. Okay :P

  • Raichu @ Life Orb
    Ability: Lightningrod
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Timid Nature
    - Encore
    - Nasty Plot
    - Thunderbolt
    - Hidden Power [Ice]

    Raichu absorbs all your moves that affect the other pokemon and since it's a special attacker, Cotton Guard won't help one bit. Either encore Ampharos when Raichu switches in on that thunderbolt, or go immediately for the Nasty Plot. Then use HP Ice until Ampharos goes bye-bye.

    - Icicle Crash

    Mamoswine is unaffected by Thunderbolt and it takes less than 28% from +2 boosted LO HP Ice thanks to Thick Fat.

    +2 252 SpA Life Orb Raichu Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Thick Fat Mamoswine: 100-118 (23.5 - 27.8%) -- 84.8% chance to 4HKO

    Is able to take any attacks that Mamoswine strikes. After that, it could defeat Mamoswine with just one Bullet Punch. Superpower works, too.

    - Ice Fang
    - Dragon Dance
    - Waterfall

    Scizor's Atk stat gets reduced by -1 when Gyarados switches in due to Intimidate. Waterfall or Earthquake can 3HKO Scizor after that.

    -1 252+ Atk Scizor Superpower vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gyarados: 58-69 (17.4 - 20.7%) -- possible 7HKO after Leftovers recovery

  • Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
    Ability: Iron Barbs
    EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk
    Relaxed Nature
    IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk / 0 Spd
    - Leech Seed
    - Protect
    - Gyro Ball
    - Power Whip

    Ferrothorn can set up Leech Seed and take minimal damage from all of Gyrados' attacks. Leech Seed + Leftover + Protect means that Ferrothorn is getting a huge chunk of its health back. A few Power Whips should be more than enough for Gyarados.
