    Scrafty @ Assault Vest
    Trait: Intimidate
    EVs: 240hp/224atk/44def
    Impish nature (+Def, -Sp. Atk)
    -High Jump Kick
    -Knock Off
    -Drain Punch
    -Stone Miss Edge

    Decided to use this VGC set but with HJK over Fake Out since Drain Punch is only a 5HKO and plus, I felt like using my favourite 'mon again:

    224 Atk Scrafty High Jump Kick vs. 212 HP / 252 Def Solid Rock Rhyperior: 159-189 (37.5 - 44.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

    -1 44+ Atk Rhyperior Earthquake vs. 240 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 85-102 (25.6 - 30.8%) -- guaranteed 4HKO (regardless if rocks are up or not on Rhyperior's part)

    Scrafty can naturally outspeed Rhyperior before it is KO'd by the fourth EQ. Once again, Intimidate does help Scrafty avoid being KO'd before Rhyperior.

    Sylveon @ leftovers
    Nature : Modest
    Ability: pixilate
    Moonblast
    Return
    Light screen
    Psych up
    Evs
    Sp attk 252
    Hp 252
    Spd 4
    Scafty makes no scratches on sylveon basically scrafty will be a 6HKO whilst sylveon has a 2HKO with moonblast and pixielate transform return into fairy type being that sylveon need friendship to evolve. So having return as a fairy type is a big advantage return gets stronger the more the pokemon likes its trainer.

    i'm going to implore everyone in the future to point out if a supposed counter that was posted is not actually a counter. afterwards, you should post an appropriate counter. of course, it's all up to you, but this is a better system overall :)

    Evs : 248 Sp. Def, 252 Sp.Attk ,Def 10

    Main gripes:
    -Flash Cannon is downright terrible on Ferrothorn, as 54 Special Attack is very wimpy
    -Ingrain locks Ferrothorn in battle, which means it's easy bait for Fire and Fighting Pokemon

    Anyway:

    Mega Pidgeot:

    Despite its middling bulk, Mega Pidgeot takes any of Ferrothorn's attacks and can KO with Heat Wave.

    I'll surely be ninja'd but,

    Adamant
    Mold breaker
    252 Atk/4 Sp Def/252 Spe

    Earthquake
    Outrage
    X-Scissor
    Poison Jab

    252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Eelektross: 411-486 (132.1 - 156.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Eelektross: 370-437 (118.9 - 140.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus X-Scissor vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Eelektross: 165-195 (53 - 62.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

    252+ Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Poison Jab vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Eelektross: 165-195 (53 - 62.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

    0 Atk Eelektross Rock Slide vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Haxorus: 67-79 (22.8 - 26.9%) -- 39.7% chance to 4HKO

    252 SpA Eelektross Volt Switch vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Haxorus: 66-78 (22.5 - 26.6%) -- 16% chance to 4HKO

    Haxorus can't OHKO the Eelektross because of the Focus sash, but it can easily tank two shots and kill it. Plus, rock slide but no attack EVs? Kek. Even if eelektross gastros it out of the earthquake, all its other moves would do just as well.
