Primarina's only a check, not a counter, as if it switches into any of Dugtrio's STABs it dies the next turn. Hydro Pump's accuracy makes it even less reliable against Dugtrio. Air Balloon Primarina would save the day.

Sliggoo @ Eviolite
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Outrage
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Tanks absolutely anything Zard throws at it, even being immune to Solar Beam. Can 3HKO with Outrage, but also rest off damage to avoid the possible 4HKO by Focus Blast. Once Focus Blast is out of PP, Sliggoo has no fear.

252 SpA Charizard-Mega-Y Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 88+ SpD Eviolite Sliggoo: 77-91 (22.6 - 26.7%) -- 30.4% chance to 4HKO

0 Atk Sliggoo Outrage vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Charizard-Mega-Y: 126-148 (42.4 - 49.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

I have a question: what counts as "hax"?

If I go for Iron Head with Jirachi, I'm statistically more likely to flinch than not (60/40). Would it be fair to assume that NOT flinching is "hax", then?

(Not trying to take anything away from Chase, him posting Jirachi just reminded me of my question)
