Counter that Pokémon!
Counter that Pokémon! - Generation 7 EditionInformationWith the release of Gen 7, I thought it'd be great to bring back a classic game! Counter that Pokémon is essentially what it says--someone posts a Pokémon, the next person tries to counter the Pokémon, and then the next person tries to counter that Pokémon and so on and so forth! This is a fun way to test your overall game knowledge as well as to learn some of the crafty ways other people tries to counter certain threats. Rules
Useful ResourcesAnd with that, let's start things off with something simple: |
Alolan Marowak:
http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/SM/105-a.png -Flare Blitz -Shadow Bone -Bonemerang -Will-o-Wisp Nature: Adamant EVs: 120 HP//252 Atk/4 Def/132 Spe Item: Thick Club Ability: Lightning Rod Alolan Marowak takes virtually nothing from Celesteela and can either cripple it with Will-o-Wisp or outright KO it with Flare Blitz. |
(your EVs are pretty weird. i think you meant to put 252 into attack instead of special attack?)
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/pelipper.gif Pelipper @Damp Rock Ability: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold nature - Scald - Hurricane - U-Turn - Roost Marowak's STAB moves are a 3HKO at best, while Pelipper can 2HKO with Scald, as well as heal up any damage via Roost. Pelipper also outspeeds even without investments in speed. |

Tapu Koko @ Expert Belt Ability: Electric Surge EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 SpD Timid Nature -Thunderbolt -U-Turn -Dazzling Gleam -Roost Despite getting a new lease on life with Drizzle, Pelipper still loses to anything with an Electric attack |
Alolan Muk:
http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemon/089-a.png -Gunk Shot -Knock Off -Pursuit -Shadow Sneak Nature: Adamant EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef Item: Assault Vest Ability: Poison Touch Muk can't be poisoned and can simply Knock Off Chansey's Eviolite to make it easier to deal with. |

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/venusaur.gif -> http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/venusaur-mega.gif
Venusaur-Mega @ Venusaurite Ability: Overgrow EVs: 232 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 20 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Giga Drain - Sludge Bomb - Hidden Power [Fire] - Synthesis I don't think this needs any explanation. |
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/crobat.gif
Crobat @ Black Sludge Ability: Infiltrator EVs: 248 HP / 48 Def / 212 Spe Jolly Nature - Brave Bird - U-turn - Taunt - Roost Brave Bird is a 2HKO, Taunt stops Synthesis and MVenasaur can only muster 3HKO on high rolls with recoil and 3 critical hits from Sludge Bomb. |
Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body -- > Tough Claws EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Meteor Mash - ThunderPunch - Hammer Arm - Zen Headbutt |

Ability: Drought EVs: 148 HP / 252 Def / 8 Sp. Atk Relaxed Nature -Fire Blast -Will-o-Wisp -Rapid Spin -Solar Beam Megagross can at best 4HKO Torkoal but Overheat OHKOs Megagross. (I'm assuming that Spd is meant to be Speed not Special Defense although this pretty much applies either way). |
Garchomp @Leftovers
Ability: Rough Skin EVs: 240 HP / 176 Def / 92 Spe Impish Nature -Earthquake -Stealth Rock -Dragon Tail -Fire Blast Even with EVs invested in Def not Sp. Def, Garchomp can tank every attack Heatran has with ease and OHKO it with Earthquake. |
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/rotom-w.gif
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe Bold Nature - Volt Switch - Hydro Pump - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split Rotom-W takes virtually nothing from Garchomp whilst Rotom-W can cripple Garchomp with Will-O-Wisp, or 3HKO it with Hydro Pump. |
Alola-Exeggutor @Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest EVs: 248 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 8 Def Modest Nature -Leaf Storm -Draco Meteor -Synthesis -Power Swap It takes 9+ moves for Rotom to KO Exeggutor but the big tree OHKOs with Leaf Storm. You either switch or die basically. |
Tapu Bulu:
http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemon/787.png -Wood Hammer -Horn Leech -Megahorn -Superpower Nature: Adamant EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Choice Band Tapu Bulu is immune to Draco Meteor, resists Leaf Storm, and threatens Exeggutor with an OHKO from Megahorn. |
Moltres @Life Orb
Ability: Pressure EVs: 4 Def / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe Timid Nature -Flamethrower -Hurricane -Hidden Power Grass -Roost Moltres can survive any of Tapu Bulu's attacks switching in and then outspeed and OHKO it with either Flamethrower or Hurricane. |
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/aerodactyl.gif -> http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/aerodactyl-mega.gif
Aerodactyl-Mega @ Aerodactylite Ability: Rock Head -> Tough Claws EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly nature - Stone Edge - Earthquake - Wing Attack - Roost Mega Aerodactyl resists all of Moltres' moves, is able to OHKO with Stone Edge, and is also able to Roost off any damage taken from Moltres. |
Bronzong @Leftovers
Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Sp. Def Sassy Nature 0 Speed IVs -Gyro Ball -Earthquake -Toxic -Trick Room Mega-Aerodactyl without Crunch can't touch Bronzong whilst Zong OHKOs with Gyro Ball forcing you out to cripple your next mon with Toxic or set up Trick Room or taking you out. Not the most practical idea since I probably wouldn't know you aren't running Crunch, but the game is Counter that Pokemon not Realism xD |
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/charizard-megay.gif

Shedinja @ Focus Sash
Ability: Wonder Guard EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - X-Scissor - Shadow Sneak - Protect Couldn't think of much else but Wonder Guard makes Shedinja wall Magearna for eternity. |
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 SpD Impish Nature - Earthquake - Stealth Rock - Slack Off - Stone Edge If Shedinja isn't holding Safety Goggles (and in this case, it isn't), it gets taken out in one turn by Hippowdon's Sandstorm. If it is, then it still has to worry about Stone Edge. |
