Conkeldurr @ Leftovers
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Ice Punch
- Bulk Up(or something else, doesn't matter a lot) XD

252+ Atk Teravolt Kyurem-B Dragon Claw vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Conkeldurr: 183-216 (44.2 - 52.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ Atk Conkeldurr Drain Punch vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Kyurem-B: 318-374 (81.3 - 95.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Conkeldurr Mach Punch vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Kyurem-B: 168-200 (42.9 - 51.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

Kyurem-B could at best 3HKO Conkeldurr while Conkeldurr can tank the second assured hit, survive with lefties, then hit with Drain Punch to heal a good bit, then Mach Punch the following turn for the KO.

Jellicent @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Recover
- Toxic
- Scald
- Giga Drain

Either resists or is immune to all of Conkeldurr's attacks and will either take it down by scald or toxic. I don't care if Conkeldurr has Guts, Ice Punch still isn't doing much. :P

Shaymin @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 232 HP / 252 SAtk / 24 Spd
Modest Nature
- Rest
- Seed Flare
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Earth Power

It's not very effective to Jellicent's Giga Drain, and with only about a couple of Seed Flare attacks, it could take Jellicent down within a blink of an eye. If it ever gets poisoned with Toxic or burnt with Scald, it should be able to restore itself with Rest. :b

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
244 HP / 252 Def / 12 Spe
Impish Nature
- Taunt
- Roost
- Toxic
- Earthquake

Taunt shuts down Slack off and Stockpile, absorbs Toxic, and takes no damage from Earthquake. Gliscor can then fire off a Toxic of its own. Strangely enough this set can "counter" itself.

Jolteon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Volt Absorb

Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, HP Ice, Shadowball

Easy 180% w/ Thunderbolt, easy 100% with Shadowball. Jolteon's movepool sucks.

Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Ice]

My go to defensive wall. Dugtrio can't touch Tangrowth and the shambling tangle of vines simply uses Giga Drain to heal back up any meager damage it has suffered.

Dugtrio @ Choice Scarf
Arena Trap
Jolly

Earthquake/Reversal/Stone Edge/sucker punch

Dugtrio is a check, not a counter. It gets OHKO'd if Jolteon uses HP Ice when Dugtrio switches in.

252 SpA Choice Specs Jolteon Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Dugtrio: 234-276 (110.3 - 130.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Chandelure (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Trick
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball

Chandelure resists all of Tangrowth's moves and OHKOs it with Flamethrower.

Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Night Slash
- Brave Bird
- Superpower

After it gets sent out on the field, Honchkrow would immediately start Night Slashing. Before you even know it, Chandelure would be out of sight.

My mistake, will try to do it properly in future.

Honchkrow @ Life Orb
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Night Slash
- Brave Bird
- Superpower
- Roost

After it gets sent out on the field, Honchkrow would immediately start Night Slashing. Before you even know it, Chandelure would be out of sight.

Not exactly.

252+ SpA Chandelure Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Honchkrow: 292-345 (72.2 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Basically, not only should your Pokemon be able to defeat your foe, it should also be able to switch into any of its moves. Honchkrow takes over 70% when it switches into Chandelure's Flamethrower. In the following turn, Chandelure outspeeds Honchkrow thanks to Choice Scarf and KOs it with another Flamethrower before Honchkrow can do anything to strike back. The lack of Sucker Punch makes Honchrow nothing more than a check.

252+ Atk Life Orb Honchkrow Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chandelure: 398-471 (152.4 - 180.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Anyway,

Flygon (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge

Flygon is unaffected by Thunderbolt and it takes 19.9 - 23.5% from Heat Wave. Zapdos is OHKO'd by Stone Edge or Outrage.
