  • Tapu Fini:

    -Calm Mind
    -Scald
    -Moonblast
    -Taunt
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    Fini resists all of Clawitzer's moves and can avoid a burn from Scald thanks to Misty Surge summoning Misty Terrain. From there, it can use Clawitzer as setup bait with Calm Mind

    EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
    Timid Nature
    - Psychic
    - Moonblast

    Tapu Lele is only a check to this Venusaur set. Lele cannot switch into a Sludge Bomb.

    180+ SpA Venusaur-Mega Sludge Bomb vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Lele: 260-308 (92.5 - 109.6%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO

  • Mienshao @ Fightium Z
    Ability: Reckless
    EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP
    Adamant Nature
    -High Jump Kick
    -Rock Slide
    -U-Turn
    -Protect

    Not a counter because Magma Storm has a decent chance to KO Mienshao on the switch-in and if it survives, the residual damage from Magma Storm will finish it off. Bloom Doom also outright KOs it.

    Will counter Heatran:

    Charizard Y:
    006-mega-y.gif

    -Fire Blast
    -Solar Beam
    -Focus Blast
    -Dragon Pulse
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Charizardite Y

    Mega Charizard Y's typing and surprisingly good special bulk let it wall the entirety of Heatran's moveset, then threaten it with Focus Blast

    Chandelure @ Choice Specs
    Ability: Flash Fire
    EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
    Modest Nature
    IVs: 1 Atk
    - Hidden Power [Rock]
    - Fire Blast
    - Energy Ball
    - Shadow Ball

    Dragon Pulse cannot 2hko, while HP Rock OHKOs in return.

    Honestly the Zards are pretty hard to counter, but I wanted to post something more creative than some fat tank. So max HP Chandelure lets go

    EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
    Timid Nature
    - Thunderbolt
    - Volt Switch

    Without Specs, Volcanion does not have the power it needs to pick up important KOs and allows Raikou to survive any attack and then outspeed and KO with Thunderbolt.
