Counter that Pokémon! SM v.2
Since the other one kind of died off, rather than bump it I will just remake!

http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemon/785.png Tapu Koko @ Choice Scarf Ability: Electric Surge EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 1 Atk - Thunderbolt - Volt Switch - Dazzling Gleam - Hidden Power [Ice] |
Lanturn @Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature -Toxic -Volt Switch -Scald -Heal Bell Lanturn has nothing to fear from three out of four moves and can tank a minimum of six Dazzling Gleams. Meanwhile it can 3HKO with Scald or inflict Poison with Toxic. |
Dragonite @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Multiscale EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Fly - Earthquake - Extreme Speed - Dragon Dance Dragonite can tank Lanturn's hits to at least set up with one Dragon Dance, then proceed to Earthquake it. |
Skarmory @Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Impish -Roost -Stealth Rock -Toxic -Iron Head Dragonite can't really touch Skarmory and whilst Skarmory can't really fight back it can whittle Dragonite away with Toxic and Roost. |
I asked skarmory who she doesn't want to face. She replied-
Heatran @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Magma Storm - Earth Power - Solar Beam - Taunt Chose Magma storm over lava plume to trap it |
Salamence @ Flynium Z
Ability: Moxie EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature -Dragon Dance -Fly -Earthquake -Outrage The only move that does any real harm is Magma Storm which 3HKOs at best. Meanwhile Salamence OHKOs with EQ picking up that sweet Moxie boost. |
Don't want to post Skarmory again sooo...
Celesteela @ Leftovers Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def / 252 SpD Sassy Nature - Leech Seed - Protect - Heavy Slam - Hidden Power [Ice] Even though its EVs are in Special Defence, due to its typing Salamence needs at least 3 turns to defeat it. HP Ice is a 2HKO with Heavy Slam also having an 80% to 2HKO as well. |
Volcanion @Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature -Flamthrower -Steam Eruption -Sludge Wave -Hidden Power [Grass] Takes pretty much anything Celesteela dishes out and then murders it with Flamethrower or Steam Eruption. |
Muk-Alola @ Assault Vest
Ability: Poison Touch EVs: 252 HP / 240 Atk / 16 SpD Adamant Nature - Knock Off - Pursuit - Poison Jab - Shadow Sneak Only Draco Meteor can hurt it significantly but that won't even 2HKO because of the attack drops. Knock Off OHKOs Latios. |
Landorus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 24 SpD / 16 Spe Impish Nature - Earthquake - Stealth Rock - Hidden Power Ice - U-turn Takes minimal damage from Muk, especially after intimidate, and can easily pick up a kill with Earthquake. 0 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Muk-Alola: 378-446 (91.3 - 107.7%) -- 50% chance to OHKO |
Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Impish Nature - Toxic - Roost - Defog - Brave Bird Once Landorus-T's set is revealed to be a defensive set, Skarmory will wall it competely. Rocky Helmet discourages Landorus-T from using U-Turn throughout the match. With Lando-T's Impish nature and lack of investment in SpA, HP Ice damage can be easily Roosted off and Skarmory's quadruple resistance to U-Turn and immunity to Earthquake means it won't take much damage from Lando-T's moves at all. Skarmory's slow speed will allow it to move second when using Roost, preventing Earthquake from hitting a grounded Skarmory. Skarmory can then easily stall out Lando-T with Toxic + Roost. |
Magearna @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Fleur Cannon - Flash Cannon - Aura Sphere - Thunderbolt Toxic has no effect and Brave Bird is a possible 7HKO. Thunderbolt takes care of Skarmory. |
Marowak-Alola @ Thick Club
Ability: Lightning Rod EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Shadow Bone - Fire Punch - Bonemerang - Will-O-Wisp Resists Magearna's 2 STABs and is immune to the latter two due to it's typing and ability, respectively. Can easily pick up a kill with Fire Punch or Bonemerang |
Technically speaking Marowak-A is just a check, since Magearna can get a 2HKO with a combination of Flash Cannon on the switch in and Fleur Cannon when Marowak attacks - of which Fire Punch and Bonemerang fail to OHKO 100% of the time. But it's such a small probability as it involves high rolls on both Flash and Fleur Cannon (and no sane person keeps Magearna in) so I'll just counter Marowak.
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/tapufini.gif Tapu Fini @ Leftovers Ability: Misty Surge EVs: 248 HP / 192 Def / 16 SpD / 52 Spe Calm Nature - Taunt - Nature's Madness - Moonblast - Hydro Pump Misty Terrain neuters WoW. Shadow Bone has a ~44% chance to 2HKO and Fire Punch and Bonemerang don't even have a chance to 2HKO. In return, Fini outspeeds and OHKO's with Hydro Pump. |
252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak-Alola Fire Punch vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Magearna: 344-408 (94.7 - 112.3%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
Fire Punch failing to OHKO and Magearna actually hitting with Flash Cannon on the switch and having both it and Fleur Cannon have high damage rolls is very unlikely. Venusaur @ Venusaurite Ability: Overgrow EVs: 232 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 20 Spe Modest Nature - Sludge Bomb - Giga Drain - Hidden Power [Fire] - Synthesis |
Latios @ Soul Dew
Ability: Levitate EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Psyshock - Draco Meteor - Hidden Power Fire - Recover 252+ SpA Venusaur Sludge Bomb vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Latios: 124-147 (41.1 - 48.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO 252 SpA Soul Dew Latios Psyshock vs. 232 HP / 0 Def Venusaur: 368-434 (102.5 - 120.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO |
Tapu Lele @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Psychic - Moonblast - Focus Blast - Hidden Power Fire Can switch in and either be immune, resist, or take small damage from either of the moves and OHKO in return with Moonblast. |

But anyway, that's neither here or there, because it's such a slim chance of happening. Countering Tapu Lele: Muk-Alola @ Assault Vest Ability: Poison Touch EVs: 252 HP / 240 Atk / 16 SpD Adamant Nature - Knock Off - Pursuit - Poison Jab - Shadow Sneak Muk OHKO's with Poison Jab. Tapu Lele has a 99.9% chance to 4HKO |
Venusaur @Venusaurite
Ability: Overgrow EVs: 232 HP / 180 SpA / 80 SpD / 16 Spe Modest Nature -Giga Drain -Sludge Bomb -Synthesis -Hidden Power [Fire] M-Venu tanks everything Gigalith has and 2HKOs with Giga Drain, also recovering lost HP. |
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Taunt - Toxic - Lava Plume - Stealth Rock Heatran can taunt Venusaur from using Synthesis and proceed to kill with Lava Plume. Venusaur cannot touch Heatran at all. |

Octillery @ Choice Specs Ability: Sniper EVs: 212 HP / 252 SpA / 44 Spe Modest Nature - Hydro Pump - Fire Blast - Energy Ball - Ice Beam Puny Heatran. |
Little out of the box on this one
Dat Bulk Tho (Porygon2) @ Normalium Z Ability: Download EVs: 196 HP / 84 SpA / 228 Spe Timid Nature - Shadow Ball - Tri Attack - Conversion - Thunderbolt OHKOs with +1 T-Bolt after Z-Conversion or if it gets the Download boost even, while outspeeding in normal conditions and tanking hits in a Trick Room setup. Octillery really doesn't have a chance |
https://i.imgur.com/P3vZysz.gif
Escavalier @ Choice Band Ability: Overcoat EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe Adamant Nature - Megahorn - Iron Head - Pursuit - Knock Off P2 fails to 2HKO and Escavalier 2HKOes back. edit: Just realized that P2 could use Z-Conversion on the switch and use it again to get Ghost-typing and resist Megahorn. Meh, I'll leave this here anyway. |
Magneton @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Thunderbolt - Flash Cannon - Volt Switch - Hidden Power Fire Magneton can switch in and survive any of the attacks then trap and kill with HP Fire. pow |
I heard you like
Swampert @ Choice Band Ability: Torrent EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe Adamant Nature - Earthquake - Waterfall - Ice Punch - Superpower |
