    Machamp w/ Lum Berry
    Ability: No Guard
    EVs: 240 HP / 248 Atk / 16 SpD / 4 Spe
    Nature: Adamant
    ~ DynamicPunch
    ~ Payback
    ~ Bullet Punch
    ~ Stone Edge

    Machamp's got good Attack stat, and thanks to No Guard, it should be able to land all its moves without worrying about anything. With only about two to three DynamicPunches, Porygon2 would instantly be taken down.

    248 HP / 244 Def / 16 SpA
    Bold nature
    -Scald
    -Psyshock
    -Thunder Wave
    -Slack Off

    Best options against Slowbro are Payback and Stone Edge, which do about 25.9 - 30.5% only. Scald has a nice burn rate to cripple it and Psyshock 2HKO's Machamp.

    252 HP / 16 SpA / 248 SpD
    Careful nature
    -Calm Mind
    -Moonblast
    -Shadow Ball
    -Wish

    I never really used Sylveon, but I'll just go with this set. Takes little to no damage from Hydreigon, Moonblast OHKOs.

    -Talonflame w/Life Orb
    Nature: Adamant
    Ability: Gale Wings
    EVs: 252 Attack, 126 Speed, 126 HP
    Moves: Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, U-turn, Roost?

    Seed Flare and HP Fire will do little to it. Talonflame then easily OHKOs with Flare Blitz or Brave Bird. Substitute and Protect won't save you.

    Heatran w/ Choice Scarf
    Ability: Flash Fire
    Nature: Modest
    112 HP / 160 SpA / 236 Spe
    ~ Overheat
    ~ Earth Power
    ~ Dragon Pulse
    ~ Flamethrower

    Heatran is able to endure all Giga Drains that are thrown at it. Thanks to Scarf, it is guaranteed to out-speed Venusaur. And with only a couple of Overheat or Flamethrower attacks, Heatran could take out Venusaur without any sort of issues.

    Believe it or not, Mega Venusaur kinda walls Heatran thanks to Thick Fat.

    160+ SpA Heatran Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Thick Fat Mega Venusaur: 108-128 (29.6 - 35.1%)
    160+ SpA Heatran Overheat vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Thick Fat Mega Venusaur: 152-182 (41.7 - 50%)

    It can probably stall out Heatran with Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, and Synthesis.



    Azumarill @ Choice Band

    252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 456-536 (129.9 - 152.7%)
    252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 228-270 (64.9 - 76.9%)

    The guy didn't say if Venusaur was holding onto a Venusaurite or not, so I was kind of confused. xD" Anyway…

    Celebi w/ Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure
    Nature: Calm
    252 HP / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
    ~ Giga Drain
    ~ Recover
    ~ U-turn
    ~ Thunder Wave

    Celebi could slow down Azumarill with Thunder Wave, then steal all its health with Giga Drain. If it's ever in low HP, it could always restore itself with Recover. When it's in danger, it could instantly switch out with U-turn.

    -Mega Charizard Y w/Charizardite Y
    Nature: Modest
    Ability: Drought
    EVs: 252 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Defense
    Moves: Fire Blast/Flamethrower, Focus Blast, Solar Beam, Air Slash/Dragon Pulse

    Megazard Y is practically uneffected by Giga Drain and U-turn, and Thunder-Wave doesn't help Celebi against it. Then it can KO Celebi with a sun-boosted Fire attack.
