The Official Counter Thread
Welcome to the Official Counter Thread. Here is where we can discuss counters to certain pokemon and combos. A list of pokemon and sets will be provided for each counter. Discussion on Weavile will still be held at that thread so keep that all over there.
Rules• All PC rules apply. • Do not flame other members for their opinions. • Stay on topic, and don't drift to another counter until the current one has been finished being discussed. • When giving a pokemon suggestion, provide a set along with it. • Enjoy using the list. ^^ GyaradosWeavileAzumarill@Leftovers Adamant~252 Attack/HP Aqua Jet Waterfall Brick Break Double Edge *Hippowdon@Leftovers Impish~252 HP/Defense Earthquake Stealth Rock Ice Fang Slack Off Hitmontop@Leftovers Adamant~252 HP/74 Attack/184 Speed Bulk Up Mach Punch Stone Edge Rapid Spin/Close Combat Infernape@Focus Sash Hasty/Naive~252 Attack/Speed; 4 Defense Mach Punch Flamethrower/Fire Blast Stone Edge Grass Knot/Thunderpunch/Close Combat Forretress@Leftovers Relaxed~252 Defense/Attack Rapid Spin/Stealth Rock Earthquake/Spikes Explosion Gyro Ball Yanmega@Focus Sash Timid/Modes~252 Speed/Special Attack~Speed Boost -Bug Buzz -Air Slash -Protect/Giga Drain/Shadow Ball/Ancientpower -Protect/Giga Drain/Shadow Ball/Ancientpower *Being discussed **Unconfirmed ***Incomplete Go ahead and someone suggest what we should invent counters for first. ~desu Saba~ |
CBcross. Give me one pokemon besides weezing, gliscor, and the occasional Jirachi that can counter that thing.
|
Forretress does it with pride, after a Gyro Ball Weavile is gone.
|
Dusknoir pisses Heracross off hands down. Honestly, CBCross, is most commonly known for using Focus Punch, and Dusknoir comes in and blocks it.
Also, Jirachi in no way, shape, or form, counters CBCross. |

Noir can't take night slash and pursuit so well though, and if it switches in on WoW (though most players aren't stupid enough to do that)Noir is TOAST. |
I just noticed Im The Chatot Pirate oin your friends list, though i added you as Midnight Winged.
Back to Weavile Counters, try Aerodactyl, works great. |
Quote:
And Aero doesn't counter Weavile. It can't switch into ice punch, and many weaviles use focus sash which beat focus sash Aeros anyways. Most run CB anyways. |
Grats Sabaku you made the thread looks good already
|
Well if they're both leads, Aerodactyl counters it quite well. Aerodactyl being faster hits it hard with Stone Edge, also getting hit with Ice Punch leaves it at one HP, with one HP on an Aerodactyl, I've swept 4 pokes.

True enough. Hmm, other counters... Oh MAchamp! If it doesnt run Aerial Ace...
|
It never does :0
Anything with mach punch that can switch into weavile (or just carries a focus sash) will usually be a counter. |
Skarm takes it down with a florish.
|
What exactly is the point of this? more talk about what counters Weavile when we actually have a 7 page thread for it.. and PLEASE don't start going on how Hippowdon / Aerodactyl "counter" Weavile because they don't. All you need to know is in the other thread.
@ thread starter: I suggest making it like the pokemon discussion thread where a specific pokemon is given, so after suggesting (and verifying) numerous counters a different pokemon will be discussed. |
I understand the making of this thread; it's designed to get assistance for counters in general.
However, I plan to change the subject; Gyarados is a massive team-destroyer against mine. Does anyone have a CLUE on how to counter, yes, counter, a Gyarados? |
a Zapdos can be a Gyarados counter.
|
Any speedy electric type. Better yet, post the whole team in a new thread.
I have to agree with Syaoran. Common sense can tell you a poke's counters. My Gya beat Weavile. Does that make him a Weavile counter? Not really. Just that my Gya beat that particular Weavile. |
actually bulky gyara is a pretty good counter to weavile...
XD k back to ignoring this thread. |

like syran said, hippodawn can't wall weavile, i can't really see infernape countering it since its frail defs can't really take in a switch unless it resists it, but if the opponet has sash and areail ace ur dead..

The best counters to Gyarados are Slowbro and Quagsire, believe it or not.

Gy awill switch to any move it finds a threat. But Electric is the best counter. I don't think Sire has the power to counter it.
|
Ok, let me clear some things up to those that don't read.
The Weavile Thread was meant to stay. If you read the top paragraph in my post, tou'd know that Weavile discussion wasn't supposed to be here. I guess it's too late for that. Read the rules people. One pokemon countering at a time. I think we're on Gyarados, but I'm not positive because people keep talking about Weavile. When listing a pokemon, give the set. It'll make it way easier for me to keep the list updated, instead of me creating a set, posting it, then having people ignore it. And Hippowdon, enough with it, it'll stay because it has HAPPENED! If it's worked as a counter it's a counter. I don't get what you guys don't understand about that. ~desu Saba~ |
CB Dugtrio >>>>>>>> Blissey
Unless the moron opponent made Blissey hold Shed Shell... |

So please people, follow the rules. ~desu Saba~ |
Yeah, honestly. I don't know why this thread exists. If you want to know what counters a certain Pokemon, create a team and ask for weaknesses. Then, adjust your team accordingly to assure no single Pokemon wreaks your team. It's impossible to have a perfect team, but you can come close.
