252 HP is for maximum bulkiness.
196 SAtk ensures an OHKO with Earth Power.
16 SDef with the 252 HP and a Calm Nature ensures that Expert Belted Signal Beam never 2HKOs with Leftovers with 4 extra EVs for the 2 extra stat points.
44 Def are leftovers.

Thick fat is gay. I wanted to give it HP Electric for coverage. ;-; Otherwise, do I really need to explain? You can't even break a sub.

HP Electric is a 3HKO including LO, while Return is a 2HKO.
In that case, wouldn't this counter fail? Typhlosion is faster, so...

Flareon switches in.
Typhlosion hits it with HP Electric. (first)

Typhlosion hits flareon with HP electric (second)
Flareon hits Typhlosion with return (first)

Typhlosion kills flareon with HP Electric.
Flareon can't use return again because it fainted.

I don't see how Ninetales does sufficient damage to outstall Flareon's Toxic/protect-wish stalling given his fully EV'd base 110 SpD.

*calcs*

Yeah, HP Water does around 20% damage and Toxic kills you before you get into 2HKOing range, taking into account Protect.

No you can't. By the time you CM enough to 2HKO Flareon (4 times), you'll have basically died due to Toxic.

Otherwise I can outstall YOU by Wishing and Protecting.

Flareon can just use toxic on the switch.

How can Ninetales be a counter if it can automatically lose when switching in?

I didn't do the calculations for defending against Power Whip or Hidden Power Fire, but I don't think that he'll be able to kill me the first turn, nor can he stall me with Toxic and Protect.

Sorry for the double post, but incase someone wants to dispute the Hitmontop not working, due to not being able to outspeed after being Thunderwaved,

Roserade @ Life Orb
Modest / Poison Point
4hp/252specialattack/252speed
Grass Knot
Sludge Bomb
Hidden Power Fire
Sleep Powder

Yeah, it can still outspeed even when Paralysed, and none of your attacks can kill it in time before it kills you. But, only use this one if Hitmontop is thought not to work (it seems okay to me).

Vs. Hitmontop (it works)

Rotom @ Leftovers
Timid/Levitate
252HP/252Spe/4SpA
Will-o-Wisp
Light Screen
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball

I don't see Bullet Punch doing much damage, especially when its attack is cut in half by Will-o-Wisp.

Sucker Punch doesn't KO?

Well, post reserved to Rotom counter

Cacturne @ Expert Belt
Adamant / Sand Veil
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Sucker Punch
Focus Punch
Seed Bomb
Payback

Well, I resist both your attacks and hit super-effectively with Payback (you outspeed me).

I can survive the first Earthquake, Stock Pile, Protect, Stock Pile, Protect, Stock Pile, Protect, SludgeBomb, Protect, SludgeBomb..... Protect, Spit Up. Yeah, that's how it goes.

NO ONE HAS WELCOMED ME BACK YET! ;.; I AM SAD!

And annoying, you got outspeed again. Ha ha.

Last, but not least, Wouw could easily stall me out through the Burn and the Light Screen until I die. Wouw counters Fire with Jumpluff. You don't need to question his counters, ever. Now, since the Cactus was posted late, and I just countered the Fat Pig, counter my ... sludge thingy....

There is something horribly horribly wrong with this counter and im ashamed no one caught on to it.
Focus Punch + Sucker Punch KOs on average.

EDIT: also Slaking doesn't learn trick. And the above moves are actually a guaranteed KO. Besides that I don't see it.

DOUBLE EDIT: OHH SLAKING WAS SUPPOSED TO BEAT ROTOM I'M DUMB

May I ask that something be clarified for me? Just for future reference? If a Person makes a space for a counter, someone comes a long and counters first, and then someone edits that space for a new counter, despite being late, that counter is the working one?

I'm sorry for my huge butt mistake. I ALWAYS FRIGGING ASSUME THAT THE ORB ACTIVATES AS THE POKEMON SWITHES IN! ;.; I am a ******. Even cutting Slaking slack about Trick (which I actually didn't factor in with my Swalot, I just don't expect anyone to try to LeechSeed a Swalot), it still doesn't counter because the Toxic doesn't activate early. It would be burned first, and be unable to kill.

Sorry! That was my bad. I went back and checked all of the math like I used to (so I know that all counters work), and Slaking does not work against Rotom. Cacturn, however, does.

Scyther @ Leftovers
Impish/Technician
252hp/4attack/252defense
SwordDance
X-Scizor
Aerial Ace
Brick Break

This one should work against Cacturn, being able to resist Focus Punch and Seed Bomb, while given evs to take a Pay Back and a Sucker Punch, and still be able to instantly kill with X-Scizor.

Sorry about before, guys.... I done f@%$ed up.
