Might or might not work, idk. Also is this even considered a counter? idunno because of the focus sash >.>
Srsly.

 

[WouW]

15) Try not to post cheap ways of countering a Pokemon. For example, against a Gengar, try not to post a Focus Sash Weavile, who could obviously survive an attack to switch in and KO with Night Slash.

Sorry to tell you, but this is a failure.

@Entei:

Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Rain Dish / Modest
252 HP / 252 Sp Def / 6 Spd
~Rain Dance
~Toxic
~Energy Ball
~Surf

StallingColo didn't feel like showing up today. <.<

[0RLY]

@ Ludicolo:

Victreebel @ Leftovers
Chlorophyll/Careful
252 HP/80 Def/176 Sp.D
-Toxic
-Encore
-Protect
-Reflect

But stalling Victreebel did! ...I actually had to look up how to spell this guy's name. (._.")

 

[WouW]

Toxicroak @ Black Sludge
Dry Skin/Impish
252HP/56Atk/64Def/136SpD
Taunt
Rain Dance
Toxic
Earthquake

Stalling Victreebel, however, got owned by stalling anti-stall Toxicroak which Taunts while you kill yourself.

Edit: Considering the Ubers sub-game, that actually went to what we are playing now. With this post the Standard game ended and Ubers changed into the new Standard.
Anyway, the last Uber posted in the Uber game was:

Latios @ Soul Dew
Levitate: Modest
252 Sp. atk, 204 Speed, 52 Defense
Dracon Pulse
Grass Knot
Recover
Calm Mind

Resists all your moves and sets up Calm Mind. Also OHKO's your Groudon with Grass Knot before a Calm Mind.

Arceus @ Iron Plate
Multitype/Adamant
4HP/252Atk/252Spe
Iron Tail
Extremespeed
Earthquake
Overheat

Fear the epicness of a base-100 attack coming off STAB, 20% Item boost and 376 Attack. And you 4HKO me with Dragon Pulse, CM excluded.

 

[Platypus]

I'm not certain about this, but here I goes...

Rotom (H) w/Choice Scarf
Modest/Levitate
240 Sp. Atk./ 140 Def./ 130 Sp. Def.
+ Trick
+ Overheat
+ Psych Up
+ Shadow Ball
I have never countered an Arceus. Odds are that hasn't changed with Toasty.

Also, against Toxicroak:

Dodrio w/Focus Sash
(+Sp. Atk. -Speed)/Early Bird
100 Atk./155 Sp. Atk./ 100 Sp. Def./ 55 Speed
+ Substitute
+ Brave Bird
+ Steel Wing
+ Mirror Move
Should you start with Taunt, Brave Bird runs unopposed.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Trick doesn't work on Pokemon with the ability Multitype.

 

[WouW]

Also, against Toxicroak:

Dodrio w/Focus Sash
(+Sp. Atk. -Speed)/Early Bird
100 Atk./155 Sp. Atk./ 100 Sp. Def./ 55 Speed
+ Substitute
+ Brave Bird
+ Steel Wing
+ Mirror Move
Should you start with Taunt, Brave Bird runs unopposed.

Focus Sash is banned.

 

[Pink Reaper]

actually, Focus Sash isn't banned. If the counter doesn't 100% need Focus Sash to be a counter it can be used.

 

[WouW]

Actually, it is. AND I WANT TO OHKO THEM FRIGGEN BEASTS!!!11

 

[Pink Reaper]

Once again, the rule only bans using a Focus sash if it's the ONLY way you can counter a pokemon. Dodrio counters you WITHOUT the focus sash, so it's allowed to use it.

 

[Platypus]

The Focus Sash is allowed on counters that do not need it to defeat whichever creature is currently on the docket. As for the Trick-Multitype issue, I completely forgot.

Against Dodrio:

Raikou w/Leftovers
Naughty/Pressure
120 Atk./ 100 Def./ 30 Sp. Atk./ 80 Sp. Def./ 180 Speed
+ Thunder Fang
+ Sunny Day
+ Solarbeam
+ HP Fire
Open up your textbooks and turn to the chapter concerning your DEATH!

 

[WouW]

Camerupt @ Expert Belt
Brave/Solid Rock
252Atk/252HP/4SpD
Earthquake
Yawn
Will-o-wisp
Stone Edge

Do I need to explain anything?

 

[IC3R]

Raikou w/Leftovers
Naughty/Pressure
120 Atk./ 100 Def./ 30 Sp. Atk./ 80 Sp. Def./ 180 Speed
+ Thunder Fang
+ Sunny Day
+ Solarbeam
+ HP Fire
Open up your textbooks and turn to the chapter concerning your DEATH!

Open your textbook and notice Raikou doesn't learn Solarbeam.


I'll counter Dodrio:

Steelix @ Life Orb
Adamant / Rock Head
EVs - 4 HP, 252 Att, 252 Spd
~Earthquake
~Stone Edge
~Ice Fang
~Rock Polish

I love how Bronzong isn't allowed here :3

P.S.: Also, I OHKO Camey with Earthquake.

 

[WouW]

Claydol @ Leftovers
Bold/Levitate
252HP/252Def/4SpA
Earth Power
Stone Edge
Rest
Sleep Talk

Ice Fang might be super effective, it still only 3HKOs. Outspeeds and 2HKOs with Earth Power.

 

[Platypus]

Erk! I misread Hyper Beam.

To counter...Claydol...

Gallade w/Choice Band
Adamant/Steadfast
240 Atk./ 120 Def./ 150 Sp. Def.
+ Fling
+ Night Slash
+ Ice Punch
+ Close Combat
Oh, but who says that I'll start with Fling? The nature of the Band pushes CQC over FCP.

 

[WouW]

Spiritomb @ Leftovers
Impish/Pressure
252HP/252Def/4Atk
Shadow Sneak
Sucker Punch
Hidden Power Fighting
Pain Split

You 4HKO me with Ice Punch while Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch 3HKO.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Clefable@Leftovers
Adamant/Magic Guard
252Hp/180Def/76SpDef
-Cosmic Power
-Softboiled
-Belly Drum
-Meteor Mash

BellyFairy?

 

[Platypus]

Would that work even if Gallade didn't Fling the Band? Oh, well.

Honchkrow w/Scope Lens
(+Special Attack -Speed)/Super Luck
200 Atk./ 100 Def./ 100 Sp. Atk./ 100 Sp. Def./ 10 Speed
+ Night Slash
+ Thunder Wave
+ Heat Wave
+ Air Cutter
Honchkrow is used by me. Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak are both NVE, and Pain Split is unreliable with all of these critical cuts alongside Thunder Wave. Heat Wave covers things that aren’t covered by moves that aren’t Heat Wave.

 

[WouW]

Clefable@Leftovers
Adamant/Magic Guard
252Hp/180Def/76SpDef
-Cosmic Power
-Softboiled
-Belly Drum
-Meteor Mash

BellyFairy?

Registeel @ Expert Belt
Adamant/Clear Body
84Spe/252Def/172Atk
Psych Up
Hammer Arm
Shadow Claw
Ice Punch

Psych Ups any boost, or if you use Belly Drum I instantly OHKO with Hammer Arm. 2HKOs otherwise.

 

[0RLY]

Please indicate which Pokemon you are countering, I have no idea what's going on in the last 4 posts other than the post above me.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Registeel is the current counter as Platypus failed to get his counter to spiritomb up in time and it fails to counter my Clefable.

@Registeel

Meganium@Leftovers
Bold/Overgrow
252Hp/80Def/176SpDef
-Leech Seed
-Reflect
-Energy Ball
-HP Fire

HAZABATTASLAPYA?

 

[0RLY]

Wow, Meganium beats Registeel with 3% HP left, right as Reflect runs out. Meganium 5hkos while Registeel 6hkos. How sad.

@ Meganium:

Torkoal @ Leftovers
White Smoke: Relaxed
220 HP/252 Def/36 SpDef
-Amnesia
-Will-O-Wisp
-Protect
-Rapid Spin

Will-O-Wisp kills you faster than Leech Seed. Well... not really. So, I added Rapid Spin just for the lulz of spinning away seeds! yayaya

If White Smoke actually stopped your own stat drops, Torkoal would be more fun to use with Overheat.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Houndoom@Focus Sash
Modest/Flash Fire
252SpAtk/252Spe/4Hp
-Nasty Plot
-Fire Blast
-Dark Pulse
-HP Water

You set me up for this one.

 

[WouW]

Poliwrath@Leftovers
Adamant/Water Absorb
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
Waterfall
Hypnosis
Rock Slide
Ice Punch

Lulz.

 

[IC3R]

Poliwrath@Leftovers
Adamant/Water Absorb
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
Waterfall
Hypnosis
Rock Slide
Ice Punch

Lulz.

Fine, no one can counter Wrath? It's easy!

Magneton @ Lum Berry
Timid / Magnet Pull
EVs - 4 HP, 252 SpAtt, 252 Spd
~Thunderbolt
~Hidden Power [Grass]
~Signal Beam
~Magnet Rise

Lum Berry protects me from Hypnosis, and I am 2-3HKO'd by Waterfall, but Ice Punch and Rock Slide do laughable damage. My Thunderbolt OHKO's Poliwrath. Period; HP Grass for Lanturn, Quagsire, or any other Ground type; and Signal Beam smashes opposing Grassers into the dust; and Magnet Rise protects me from incoming Ground attacks from even non-Ground Pokes.

SHOOP DA WHOOP!!!!

 

[Pink Reaper]

Camerupt@Leftovers
Modest/Solid Rock
252HP/252SpAtk/4SpDef
-Eruption
-Earth Power
-HP Ice
-Amnesia

You were asking for this. Amnesia is filler.

 

[IC3R]

Camerupt@Leftovers
Modest/Solid Rock
252HP/252SpAtk/4SpDef
-Eruption
-Earth Power
-HP Ice
-Amnesia

You were asking for this. Amnesia is filler.

Well, it was either get nailed by Camerupt, or Quagsire/Gastrodon. Then again, I guess T-bolt, HP Water, Signal Beam, and Flash Cannon would've been good, but I'd be begging for Rotom to wall me >_>; Oh well, you can't win 'em all

Mantine @ Life Orb
Modest / Water Absorb
EVs - 4 HP, 252 SpAtt, 252 Spd
~Hydro Pump
~Hidden Power [Grass]
~Air Cutter
~Icy Wind

It's a funky critter, but it works. STAB LO x4 Hydro Pump eats straight through Solid Rock and even Amnesia boosts, doing ~112% damage minimum. HP Grass handles Water Absorbers and Water types in general, Air Cutter protects me from Toxicroak and Poliwrath, and Icy Wind for more lulz, so I can slow a bugger down and smash it with Hydro Pump
