That's more of a check than a counter, as Lele has to risk coming in on a Gunk Shot, which OHKOs it easily.

As for a counter to Scarf Lele:

Not a counter. Sharpedo uses Waterfall on the switch, gets the Speed Boost (or just uses Protect the next turn), and then Mega-Evolves, outspeeds, and uses Waterfall again for the KO. Though I guess gimmepie's Sharpedo is holding a Sarpedonite so it fails to actually Mega-Evolve. But then again the roll from normal Sharpedo Waterfall on Koko is already enough to 2hko.

Also no one ACTUALLY decided to counter my Greninja set from before, which, by the rules, you are supposed to.
As mentioned in the previous rule, if the previous poster fails to post a valid counter, you should call them out and post an appropriate counter to what they were countering.

Team Embrace posted a check instead of a counter, and Nah countered that check instead of countering the 'mon that the check was supposed to counter.

Thus I will post a counter to the Greninja set and also the Sharpedo set.

Gren counter:
Spoiler:


And here is the set that counters Mega Sharpedo, which is what the next poster should be countering.

Conkeldurr @ Flame Orb

Adamant Nature

Takes any hit and KOs with Mach Punch (cuz it gets burned the turn it switches in).
