  • Kyurem-Black @ Life Orb
    Ability: Teravolt
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
    Naive Nature
    - Freeze Shock
    - Fusion Bolt
    - Ice Beam
    - Earth Power

    Man, how come my Tapu Fini is never this tenacious? Took forever to find something to come anywhere near to OHKO.

    Not a counter because it can't switch in on Moonblast.

    Countering Fini instead:

    Time to be a bit more creative with Gogoat:

    -Bulk Up
    -Horn Leech
    -Earthquake
    -Milk Drink
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Sap Sipper

    Gogoat can shrug off Fini's attacks while setting up with Bulk Up, then heal off the damage with a boosted Horn Leech.

    Ah, but it would be a counter to Gogoat, but it would be boring to just repeat the post so,

    Butterfree @ Buginium Z
    Ability: Tinted Lens
    EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
    Timid Nature
    - Quiver Dance
    - Bug Buzz
    - Energy Ball
    - Sleep Powder

    Might take a few Quiver Dances, but Horn Leech is a 7HKO so...
