Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leaf Storm
- Earth Power

With Leaf Storm, Jellicent could be easily defeated. Shadow Ball works, too. Also, it's got enough bulk to endure a few Scalds that Jellicent throws at it.

Rhyperior @ Choice Band
Trait: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 140 Atk / 116 SpD
Adamant Nature

- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- ThunderPunch

Stone Edge easily OHKOes Togekiss, while Dazzling Gleam fails to 2HKO (albeit barely).

140+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Togekiss: 552-650 (177.4 - 209%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Togekiss Dazzling Gleam vs. 252 HP / 116 SpD Rhyperior: 183-216 (42.1 - 49.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Suicune @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Due to Choice Band, Rhyperior would be stuck to Stone Edge, which Suicune is bulky enough to endure. After it's sent out on the field, it would immediately use Scald and take down Rhyperior. If it's ever in low HP, it should always be able to recover itself with Rest. With Sleep Talk, it could continue attacking while it's asleep. :]

4 SpA Suicune Scald vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Ludicolo: 19-23 (6.2 - 7.6%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Lickilicky @ Leftovers
Ability: Cloud Nine
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Careful Nature
- Return
- Toxic
- Wish
- Protect

The premiere special wall in NU. The perfect pokemon to counter one of the best sweepers in NU.


4 Atk Lickilicky Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Ludicolo: 129-153 (42.7 - 50.6%) -- 1.2% chance to 2HKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Ludicolo Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Lickilicky: 101-121 (23.8 - 28.5%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ SpA Life Orb Ludicolo Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Lickilicky: 149-177 (35.1 - 41.7%) -- 81% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

Lickilicky can Wish itself to sustain that damage while Ludicolo is getting worn down thanks to Life Orb recoil. Lickilicky can either Toxic stall, or go on the offensive with Return. Either way, it's gg to Ludicolo.

Ampharos @ leftovers
Ability: Static
Nature: Modest
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Def
Thunderbolt
Cotton Gaurd
Heal Bell
Thunder wave

Slowbro is a final form, eviolite has no effect. A thunderbolt can finish it off no problem due to its low special defense.
Aah you changed it to assault vest. Okay :P

Raichu @ Life Orb
Ability: Lightningrod
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Encore
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Raichu absorbs all your moves that affect the other pokemon and since it's a special attacker, Cotton Guard won't help one bit. Either encore Ampharos when Raichu switches in on that thunderbolt, or go immediately for the Nasty Plot. Then use HP Ice until Ampharos goes bye-bye.

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Icicle Crash
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Superpower

Mamoswine is unaffected by Thunderbolt and it takes less than 28% from +2 boosted LO HP Ice thanks to Thick Fat.

+2 252 SpA Life Orb Raichu Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Thick Fat Mamoswine: 100-118 (23.5 - 27.8%) -- 84.8% chance to 4HKO

252 Atk / 128 Def / 128 Spd
Adamant nature

- Superpower

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Ice Fang
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake

Scizor's Atk stat gets reduced by -1 when Gyarados switches in due to Intimidate. Waterfall or Earthquake can 3HKO Scizor after that.

-1 252+ Atk Scizor Superpower vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gyarados: 58-69 (17.4 - 20.7%) -- possible 7HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 252+ Atk Technician Scizor Pursuit vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gyarados: 59-70 (17.7 - 21%) -- possible 7HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ Atk Gyarados Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 128 Def Scizor: 103-122 (36.6 - 43.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk / 0 Spd
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip

Ferrothorn can set up Leech Seed and take minimal damage from all of Gyrados' attacks. Leech Seed + Leftover + Protect means that Ferrothorn is getting a huge chunk of its health back. A few Power Whips should be more than enough for Gyarados.
