  • Articuno @ Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 4 HP/ 252 SP.ATK / 252 SPD
    Modest Nature
    - Ice Beam
    - Agility
    - Hail
    - Blizzard

    Guaranteed OHKO.

    Actually, this set merely checks Zygarde. It can't come in on an Outrage and even if it does, Articuno will get KO'd before it has a chance to use Ice Beam, because Zygarde will outspeed. Another case is getting lucky with the damage rolls with Thousand Arrows and then securing a KO with Outrage, but that's unreliable and thus it's safer to just click Outrage. Anyway, time to counter this set:

    Magearna @ Assault Vest
    Ability: Soul-Heart
    EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
    Sassy Nature
    - Fleur Cannon
    - Iron Head
    - Hidden Power Fire
    - Volt Switch

    EVs: 252 HP / 128 SpD / 128 Spe
    Calm Nature
    - Lava Plume
    - Earth Power
    - Stealth Rock
    - Toxic

    Magearna is no threat at all to Heatran, who can force it out with Lava Plume or set up rocks in its face.
