No combination of 3 hits can kill me, while +2 Power Whip is exactly a OHKO.

Solar Beam -> Solar Beam kills. Your strongest move (Earthquake) is a 4HKO at +0. Boosting doesn't help you, it just wastes attacking turns. I outspeed.

So I switch in and you Earthquake
Surskit - 66.9% Quagsire - 100%

I Solar Beam and you Earthquake again.
Surskit - 33.8% Quagsire - 38%

I take in sunlight and you Earthquake again.
Surskit - 0.7% Quagsire - 44%

I Solar Beam and kill you.
Surskit - 0.7% Quagsire - DEAD

Lol surskit.

Shedinja @ Focus Sash
Wonder Guard / Adamant
252 Atk / 252 Spe
~Toxic
~Agility
~X-scissor
~Shadow Claw

Agility first turn so I'm faster. Break your sub with X-scissor. If you didn't set up another sub then toxic next turn followed by repeated agilities/toxics until you die. If you did set up another sub then x-scissor repeatedly until you don't/can't and then toxic you and stall you out.

does slowpoke work as a counter to spinda?

no, body slam is a 3HKO, so slowpoke is going to be asleep too long to do anything to spinda
