Cottonee @ Eviolite

EVs: 116 HP / 196 Def / 196 SpD
Bold Nature
- Encore

Cottonee resists both Water- and Dark-type attacks, and if Corphish decides to set up an SD, Cottonee can Encore it into that and proceed to Giga Drain at it or use Knock Off on the probable switch in.

Lileep @ Eviolite
Ability: Storm Drain
Level: 5
EVs: 228 HP / 140 Def / 140 SpD
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Giga Drain
- Recover
- Ancient Power

Lileep can take Corphish's Knock Offs pretty well even after one Swords Dance and can Giga Drain a lot of health back, escaping the 2HKO from +2 Knock Off after Stealth Rocks. Corphish can't hit Lileep at all with its water STABs due to Storm Drain.

196+ Atk Corphish Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 228 HP / 140 Def Eviolite Lileep: 5-7 (19.2 - 26.9%) -- 98.1% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock
(5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7)
+2 196+ Atk Corphish Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 228 HP / 140 Def Eviolite Lileep: 11-13 (42.3 - 50%) -- 75% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
(11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 13)


0 SpA Lileep Giga Drain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Eviolite Corphish: 14-18 (70 - 90%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 18)

Ferroseed @ Eviolite
Ability: Iron Barbs
Level: 5
EVs: 84 HP / 36 Atk / 188 Def / 148 SpD / 36 Spe
Careful Nature
- Bullet Seed
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Protect

Ferroseed is a solid counter to corpish. It resists Crab hammer and Aqua jet and it takes very little from knock off. While in return bullet seed ko's with 3 hits every time. Leech seed helps with longevity and you can set up layers of spikes when they presumably switch out. Only way ferro loses is if it switches into a +2 crab hammer, which can 2hko.
Calcs:
196+ Atk Adaptability Corphish Crabhammer vs. 84 HP / 188 Def Eviolite Ferroseed: 5-7 (22.7 - 31.8%) -- 99.9% chance to 4HKO
196+ Atk Corphish Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 84 HP / 188 Def Eviolite Ferroseed: 5-7 (22.7 - 31.8%) -- 99.9% chance to 4HKO
+2 196+ Atk Adaptability Corphish Crabhammer vs. 84 HP / 188 Def Eviolite Ferroseed: 10-12 (45.4 - 54.5%) -- 37.1% chance to 2HKO
196+ Atk Adaptability Corphish Crabhammer vs. 84 HP / 188 Def Ferroseed: 8-10 (36.3 - 45.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO (no eviolite)

196+ Atk Adaptability Corphish Crabhammer vs. 236 HP / 156+ Def Eviolite Wooper: 12-16 (48 - 64%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
 
Foongus @ Eviolite
Ability: Regenerator
Nature: Bold
EVs: 124 HP / 160 Def / 160 SpDef
Moves:
~ Spore
~ Giga Drain
~ Sludge Bomb
~ HP Fighting

Just make sure to spore on the first turn. Otherwise if he SD's on your switch and knock off first and THEN crabhammer, you might go down (depending on how low you roll and how high he rolls).

If we can submit more than 1 counter, my next submission is:

Chinchou @ Eviolite
Ability: Volt Absorb
Nature: Bold
EVs: 76 HP / 212 Def / 152 SpAtk / 60 Speed
Moves:
~ Thunderbolt
~ Hydro Pump
~ Volt Switch
~ Heal Bell

Standard Chinchou stuff that everyone and their grandmothers run. He can switch into anything and outspeed + OHKO with Thunderbolt (unless you roll terribly low and even then he will 2HKO and Corphish has nothing to do about it besides switching out).

hello (Cacnea) @ Eviolite
Ability: Water Absorb
Level: 5
EVs: 156 HP / 156 Atk / 196 Def
Impish Nature
- Swords Dance
- Seed Bomb
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch

Funny way to counter the crab.
He can switch easily on a water attack.

If Knock Off on the switch :
196+ Atk Corphish Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 156 HP / 196+ Def Eviolite Cacnea: 6-8 (26 - 34.7%) -- 0.9% chance to 3HKO

He makes it twice, and Seed Bomb + SP kill Corphish. Bullet Seed is good too.

If SD on the switch :

+2 196+ Atk Corphish Knock Off vs. 156 HP / 196+ Def Cacnea: 12-15 (52.1 - 65.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

He take a hit easily. and Seed Bomb + Sucker Punch are still decisive.

The advantage of Cacnea is that he can take randoms Superpower versions of Corphish SD.

Way more than 24 hours passed and Starmaster didn't edit his post so anyone can reserve Chinchou now.

Remember that if more than 24 hours passed and you didn't write up your reservation it'll be removed.

Ability: Dry Skin
Level: 5
EVs: 236 HP / 116 Atk / 156 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Seed
- Synthesis
- Counter
- Spore / Brick Break

If you come in on an SD, Counter kills granted they attack.
If you come in on a k off, bullet seed has a fair chance to KO and is a guaranteed 2hko.
And if all else fails, Spore!

196+ Atk Corphish Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 236 HP / 156 Def Eviolite Paras: 6-8 (26 - 34.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
(6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8)

+2 196+ Atk Corphish Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 236 HP / 156 Def Eviolite Paras: 12-15 (52.1 - 65.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
(12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 15)

116+ Atk Paras Bullet Seed (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 76 Def Eviolite Corphish: 12-16 (60 - 80%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
