As bad as Sing is, it's pretty much a requirement here. Your main hope is to Sing the opponent's counter or pseudohazer, set up, and then Baton Pass.

Use this ONLY in NU—it will get slaughtered in UU.

Other Options

Thunder Wave for Paralyzing certain UU tanks, like Hypno.

EVs

Plusle needs to maximize its Speed to be able to pass its Nasty Plots quickly. Max out its Special Attack as well.

Opinion

Plusle and Minun are the best Nasty Plot passers in UU, so uh... yeah.

Counters

Any sort of physical attack will do lots of damage. Earthquake will be a slaughter. Special attacks will also do good damage, though maybe not enough to stop it before it uses Baton Pass. If you want specific counters: Whiscash, Quagsire, Gastrodon (without HP Grass); Grass types (without HP Ice), Camerupt, Steelix, Hypno, and Grumpig can all take Plusle's hits adequately. Optionally, just outspeed it and kill it, which should be easy for most Choice Scarf users.
