[WouW]

Rampardos @ Life Orb

[Wave⁂]

Hitmontop @ Life Orb
Adamant / Technician
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Mach Punch
Bullet Punch

I survive a Head Smash, and OHKO with Mach Punch.

 

[WouW]

...and get OHKOed by Zen Headbutt.

 

[Burnt Noodles]

Rampardos @ Life Orb
Adamant/Mold Breaker
252Atk/252SpD/4HP
Head Smash
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt
Fire Punch

Fear this thing that can KO Spiritomb in one hit.

Steelix @ Iron Ball
Ability: Rock Head
EV's: 252HP/186Atk/72Def
Adamant (+Atk -Satk)
-Gyro Ball
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
-Roar

Shrugs off the 41 damage from Head Smash on the switch, and takes just 112 from Fire punch. Gyro Ball gets to 115 power not including STAB according to my calcualtions:

Power = 25(Rampardos speed/Steelix's speed)
Power = 25(152(65/2))
Power = 25(152/33)
Power = 25(4.606060)
Power = 115.15
Power = 115 rounded down

492 damage to your Rampardos.

 

[WouW]

Your calcs are wrong: I get 54 - 64 (15.25% - 18.08%) for Head Smash, 146 - 174 (41.24% - 49.15%) for Fire Punch and 194 - 230 (54.80% - 64.97%) with Earthquake, 2HKOing you before you can move. Also, Gyro Ball does 440 - 518 (130.95% - 154.17%) meaning you get min 440, not 492. Nice try though.

 

[IC3R]

Man, I wish I had a Hippo...

But, I'll have to settle for this:


Torterra @ Life Orb
Jolly / Overgrow
EVs - 80 HP, 228 Att, 196 Spd
~Wood Hammer
~Stone Edge
~Earthquake
~Rock Polish

Can come in on Fire Punch to barely survive and outspeed to score a OHKO with Wood Hammer or Earthquake. Rock Polish is an option to outspeed incoming faster counters.

 

[WouW]

Fire Punch does 264 - 312 (77.42% - 91.50%) (471 Att on 250 def and 341 HP) damage so if I roll max damage you can't beat me without killing yourself.

 

[IC3R]

I was curious if you would say something like that. I shall edit accordingly.

EVs are now: 80 HP, 228 Att, 196 Spd

Ah, apologies, I forgot to take your LO into account, let me retry that:

Machamp @ Payapa berry
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 230 HP/252 Atk/28 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+Atk -Satk)
-Dynamic punch
-Ice punch
-Rest
-Sleep talk

Can come in on any of your attacks, outspeed and OHKO.

Also the max damage is 492 with Gyro Ball but w/e

 

[WouW]

No OUs are allowed in the counter game. And you got ninja'd.

EDIT: Wait a sec, Torterra has 351 HP, LO does 35 damage and Fire Punch deals max 316 damage. 316+35=351. Torterra needs 1 more HP (4 more EVs).

I like how it took like 10 posts just to counter one pokémon.

Also, to avoid confusion, Tangrowth is the current counter.

[SpiredMoth]

How was Arcanine the counter? Wasn't Moltres modified to be a legal counter? If i'm right then what's the current counter?

 

[ss118]

Moltres @ Leftovers
Pressure: Bold
248 HP, 144 Speed, 112 Defense
Flamethrower
Toxic

[NJzFinest]

[Neo Exdeath]

How was Arcanine the counter? Wasn't Moltres modified to be a legal counter? If i'm right then what's the current counter?

I was countering Abomasnow, but I was ninja'd. The current counter is Clefable. Which means you now have to counter it.

@NJzFinest: Was your earlier post referring to me?

 

[NJzFinest]

Nope, it was for Mitolic. Arcanine would poop on Shaymin lol

I think there has been too many ninjas lol. I agree with just leaving the current counter with Clefable to avoid confusion.

 

[Neo Exdeath]

@Lefties
Synchronize/Modest
252 SpAtk/252 Speed/4 SpDef

~Hp Fighting

This is to Clefable.

Overheat
Fire Blast
Flamethrower
Heat Wave

Do I win?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Am I to assume Burnt Noodles countered his own moltress with the milotic instead of the arcanine which his post has...

Otherwise the whole chain after Moltress is wrong...

 

[Wave⁂]

Dammit, PsychoIncarnate. I think you're right.

EDIT: ...unless the Arcanine counters the Moltres. Doing damage calcs...

EDIT2: Air Slash 2HKOs Arcanine, while while Arcanine's Dragon Pulse is a 3-4HKO.

 

[UltiMario]

Politoed@Leftovers
Calm/Water Absorb
252HP/252SpA/4SpD
Ice Beam
Surf
Hidden Power Electric

Nope.

Edit: We said that Clefable was the current counter just to stop things

I was countering Abomasnow, but I was ninja'd. The current counter is Clefable. Which means you now have to counter it.

I think there has been too many ninjas lol. I agree with just leaving the current counter with Clefable to avoid confusion.

 

[Neo Exdeath]

@PsychoIncarnete:

@UltiMario: I countered Clefable with Espeon.

Edit: Burnt Noodles countered my Arcanine, not his Moltres. Which means everything is normal.
