Celebi w/ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure

252 HP / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
~ Giga Drain
~ Recover
~ U-turn
~ Perish Song

Could endure dozens of Volt Switches and Hydro Pumps, and wouldn't really matter if it ever gets burned with Will-O-Wisp as it's mainly a special-attacker (plus, it's got Natural Cure). d: With only a few Giga Drain attacks, it could defeat Rotom in an instant.

Spoiler:
Flygon has no problem coming in, and can safely take a Dark Pulse, as well as resisting Megadoom's other moves. Scarf Flygon then gets to outspeed with Earthquake for an OHKO.

Your call is very important to us. Please hold while we redirect you to a proper representative.

Florges's massive 154 Base SpDef lets her absorb anything Goodra can do, with Sludge Wave being a 3HKO at best. With CM boosts under her belt, she can smack Goodra around like it's nothing.

Even though Metagross' Thunder Punch can 2HKO, Slowbro can cripple it with Thunder Wave, hope for a burn with Scald, or hit it with a Fire Blast. If that doesn't work, it can come out and right back in for round 2 thanks to its wonderful ability, Regenerator.

My lovely Vaporeon. Its immune to Scald, and Fire Blast does a laughable amount of damage to it. Thunder Wave is pointless, and since Slowbro doesn't have its own Toxic, Vaporeon wins the stall war.

Close Combat does not benefit from Iron Fist, despite what the animation would imply.

Anyway:

Porygon2:

-Ice Beam

-Toxic
-Recover
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/176 Def/80 SDef
Item: Eviolite
Ability: Trace

Porygon2 traces Dragonite's Multiscale, letting it shrug off an attack, then hits it hard with Ice Beam or cripples it with a status.

The Easy-Bake Oven on crack hardly notices Magnezone's attacks since it resists them and has good special bulk, and can turn it to slag via Overheat, followed by a Thunderbolt to finish it.

Haxorus resists all of Rotom-H's attacks and can strike back with a SE Earthquake. The lum berry is there so Haxorus isn't burned.
Easy-Bake Oven has Levitate, so Earthquake doesn't work. However:

252+ Atk Haxorus Dragon Claw vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Rotom-H: 148-175 (48.8 - 57.7%) -- 56.3% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Rotom-H Overheat vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Haxorus: 97-115 (33.1 - 39.2%) -- 100% chance to 3HKO
So Haxorus still wins. Just not via EQ.


Ignore this post.

Physically defensive Suicune counters Haxorus very well. It can take EQ and Dragon Claws nicely, even after a DD.

252+ Atk Haxorus Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 86-102 (21.2 - 25.2%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Haxorus Dragon Claw vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 103-123 (25.4 - 30.4%) -- 0.9% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

+1 252+ Atk Haxorus Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 129-152 (31.9 - 37.6%) -- 0.1% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
+1 252+ Atk Haxorus Dragon Claw vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 154-183 (38.1 - 45.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

Then Suicune can 2HKO Haxorus with Ice Beam, even with no investment in SpA.

0 SpA Suicune Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Haxorus: 158-188 (53.9 - 64.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
