No

CB Luxray SuperPower Vs 252/0 Rhyperior: 75.1% - 88.5%

Even with Solid Rock you take 93% minimum over two turns (one on the switch in) which is shaky as hell being if it rolls higher damage Rhyperior is KO'd and as thus Rhyperior is not a counter unless you invest significantly in its defenses because it cant switch in and doesnt outspeed so loses.

Definition of a counter: A Pokemon that can switch into the opposing Pokemon with little or no risk, and proceed to threaten a KO. Basically, a counter is the perfect switch-in to a Pokemon.

Anyway @ above post,

Goodra laughs at anything Growth has to throw at it, and retaliates with Fire Blast, Sludge Wave, or Draco; all of which OHKO or 2HKO.
 
goodra is tough one, i thought mawile at first but thats not a counter just a lucky prediction since fblast kills me, no dragons since draco can kill me on switch in.

all i could possibly come up with was a special wall blissey which still doesn't make the job easier. That goodra move pool is just too versatile.

given that focus blast is prone to miss a lot, and i have toxic and soft boil i think she is a good choice.
