Gliscor @Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 232 Spe
Impish nature
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Protect

Gliscor can come in, only really susceptible to Zapdos' Heat wave, which only has a low chance of a 4HKO. From then, once Gliscor has a sub up, Zapdos is perpetually stalled and Gliscor can just wait for Zapdos to faint due to Toxic.

252 Atk / 252 Speed / 6 HP
Adamant Nature
Trait: Sand Rush (active)
- Swords Dance

- Rock Slide

^ Is why SubToxic Gliscor sucks. Something it should be countering (and is one of the best counters in the game to) walls it lol. :P

Nasty Plot Simisage is a good check, resisting Scald and OHKOing with a Life Orb +2 Leaf Storm after a Calm Mind boost.

Simisage
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Timid
~ Nasty Plot
~ Leaf Storm
~ HP Rock
~ Focus Blast

KorpiklaaniVodka June 17th, 2014 10:07 PM

You should use something like Grass Knot over Leaf Storm on your Simisage.

Anyway....

Latios @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

- Calm Mind
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power Steel
- Psyshock / Roost

Doesn't care about anything Simisage does, can set up a Calm Mind if it decides to set up with Nasty Plot, and 2HKOes with Psyshock. Hidden Power Steel is used on this Latios to catch some Fairy-type Pokemon and 2HKO them, whereas most of them can't OHKO back after a Calm Mind.

FYI, STAB Psyshock does the same amount of damage as a 2x super effective HP Steel (in case you didn't know, Hidden Power got nerfed to a fixed base power of 60 instead of a potential power of 70 depending on IVs).

Anyway:

Klefki
http://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/707.png
-Spikes
-Play Rough
-Foul Play
-Thunder Wave
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Prankster

Klefki takes nothing from Dragon Pulse, while shrugging off Hidden Power or Psyshock. It then cripples Latios with Thunder Wave or 2HKOs it with Play Rough.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
Nature: Modest
252 SpA / 252 HP / 4 SpD
- Earth Power
- Surf
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Earth Power should be able to finish it off with one hit or two. If the battle somehow lasts longer than expected, then the classic Rest + Sleep Talk combo should work.

Nah June 18th, 2014 4:38 PM

Swampert is far better as a physical tank.

As for the counter:

-Cradily w/Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Sp.Defense
