Counter that Pokemon! (READ THE FREAKING FIRST POST)

[Nah]

Mega Swampert would have been a little bit better, but I'm not particularly sure, how megas are handled here. Do you switch in the unevolved Pokemon first and let it mevo in the next turn, or can we just assume that the Pokemon is already mega evolved on the switch in?

We do it where the Pokemon is already mega evolved.

And for the Swampert counter:

Rotom-Wash w/Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 212 Defense, 44 Speed
Moves: Volt Switch, Hydro Pump, Will-o-Wisp, Pain Split

Walls Swampert as it dies from burn damage.

Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD

Doublade @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Claw
- Iron Head
- Sacret Sword

should be self-explanatory

 

[2Fruit]

Countering doublade:

Gliscor@ toxic orb
ability: Poison heal
EV's 252 HP 222 def 34 spatk
Modest nature

Knock off
hidden power fire
Roost
Taunt

Taunt stops dance, then knock off to get evio off, then hidden power fire

 

[faf]

222 and 34 are not divisible by 4, just letting you know.

Aurorus @ Choice Specs
Trait: Refrigerate
EVs: 4hp/252spa/252spe
Modest Nature (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
- Freeze-Dry
- Nature Power
- Thunderbolt
- Dark Pulse

the lack of earthquake and toxic means ice dino can tank an hp fire (<10hko) and knock off (5hko with specs, will be 7hko later on) easily. it will lose its specs but nature power (which turns into tri attack) or freeze-dry are still clean kos, specs or not.
