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.

This is just a little bit funny:

-1 0- Atk Pixilate Sylveon Return vs. 240 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 192-228 (58 - 68.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO


But to counter Sylveon:

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 :)

Attk : power whip, curse, ingrain, flash cannon
Evs : 248 Sp. Def, 252 Sp.Attk ,Def 10
Megaslowbro scald vs ferrothorn sp.def and bad match up

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:
[PokeCommunity.com] Counter that Pokemon! (READ THE FREAKING FIRST POST)

-Hurricane
-Heat Wave
-Hidden Power (Ground)
-U-turn
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe

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,

Haxorus @ Life Orb
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.
