  • Darmanitan (F) @ Lum Berry
    Trait: Sheer Force
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Flare Blitz
    - Earthquake
    - Rock Slide
    - Superpower

    252+ Atk Sheer Force Darmanitan Flare Blitz vs. 200 HP / 64 Def Jirachi: 554-654 (141.6 - 167.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    It can switch into Thunder Wave, get its status ailment removed using Lum Berry and OHKO in the next turn.

    Nature: Bold
    Ability: Regenerator
    EVs: 248 HP, 244 Defense, 16 Sp.Attack
    Moves: Scald, Psyshock, Slack Off, Fire Blast

    Slowbro can take Flare Blitz and Superpower no problem, and probably not that much from Earthquake and Rock Slide. From there, its just some Scald and Slack Off till Darmanitan is dead.

    Breloom w/ Toxic Orb
    Nature: Adamant
    Ability: Poison Heal
    12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spe
    ~ Spore
    ~ Substitute
    ~ Focus Punch
    ~ Seed Bomb

    Toxic Orb would activate as soon as Breloom switches in, preventing it from getting burned with Scald. After that, it'd put Vaporeon to sleep with Spore, set up Substitute, then Seed Bomb its way.

    Toxic Orb doesnt activate as soon as it switches in, Scald can still burn as Loom switches in and if that happens Breloom loses iirc.

    Ability: Flame Body
    EVs: 252 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Defense
    Moves: Fiery Dance, Bug Buzz, Quiver Dance, Giga Drain

    It doesn't care about Will-o-Wisp, and can OHKO with Fiery Dance:
    252+ SpA Life Orb Volcarona Fiery Dance vs. 252 HP / 40 SpD Trevenant: 432-510 (115.5 - 136.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    Finally bothered to look for a Gen 6 damage calculator.

    Specially defensive Crustle can safely switch in to both Hurricane and Ice Beam. Articuno is also severely weak to Stealth Rock, losing 50% of its health and rendering Roost useless. Rock Blast breaks through Substitute without a hitch.

    0 Atk Crustle Rock Blast (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Articuno: 216-264 (67.2 - 82.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
    0 Atk Crustle Rock Blast (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Articuno: 324-396 (100.9 - 123.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
    0 Atk Crustle Rock Blast (4 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Articuno: 432-528 (134.5 - 164.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
    0 Atk Crustle Rock Blast (5 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Articuno: 540-660 (168.2 - 205.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

  • I wouldn't call Crustle a good counter. Unless you're relying on Hurricane's 30% chance to miss, Articuno will 2HKO Crustle.

    252+ SpA Life Orb Articuno Hurricane vs. 252 HP / 240+ SpD Crustle: 181-214 (52.6 - 62.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
    252+ SpA Life Orb Articuno Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 240+ SpD Crustle: 148-175 (43 - 50.8%) -- 4.3% chance to 2HKO

    252+ Atk Aggron Head Smash vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire: 96-113 (24.4 - 28.7%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
    252+ Atk Aggron Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire: 85-101 (21.6 - 25.6%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

    Sludge Bomb will hurt a lot, but Talonflame's Brave Bird will destroy Venusaur no matter what.

    EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
    - Rock Blast
    - Bullet Seed
    - Tail Slap
    - U-Turn

    Talon would OHKO w/ Brave Bird although with the way your EVs are spread, my Cinccino outspeeds your Talon by 8 points. Rock Blast is a guaranteed 200% even w/o Life Orb/Choice Band.

    Needed to use Calc for this, as Talon's speed is beastly.

    Last I remember it said no unreleased DW abilities, I don't quite know what that means. Even with Technician Cin would KO Talon.

    Spoiler:
    Just saying, Cinccino can't switch in on Talonflame, and even if it did, priority from a boosted Brave Bird can take it out. Also, Skill Link Cinccino is available because Minccino is a Friend Safari Pokemon.

    Anyway:
