Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ice / Ancient Power / Rock Slide
A nice solid check to Ampharos-Mega, provided rocks are up. Tangrowth avoids a 2HKO after rocks from both Timid and Modest variants, and 2HKOes with EQ after minimal prior damage. Its effectiveness extends far beyond that, however; it acts as a solid counter to Rotom-W, and a soft check to all variants of weather, as it avoids the 2HKO from all common weather sweepers. The last slot is dependent on team: Hidden Power Fire nabs Scizor on the switch and does around 40% to Ferrothorn, while Hidden Power Ice hits Landorus-T hard. Ancient Power and Rock Slide both nail Talonflame and Charizard-Y, reasonably common switch ins to Tangrowth, hard.
0 Atk Tangrowth Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Ampharos: 138-164 (42.8 - 50.9%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Mold Breaker Mega Ampharos Dragon Pulse vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Tangrowth: 132-156 (32.6 - 38.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
Unfortunately, it still can't switch into the Electric Derg, but it is quite reliable as a check due to Regenerator returning a third of its health each time it switches out, allowing it to stay healthy until it needs to be of use.
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 248 HP / 96 Def / 144 SpD / 20 Spe
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Synthesis
- Hidden Power Fire / Knock Off / Leech Seed
Role: Counter
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 96+ Def Mega Venusaur: 94-111 (25.8 - 30.5%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
0 SpA Mega Venusaur Sludge Bomb vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 278-330 (72.3 - 85.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Not much to say here. Mega Venusaur is a tried and true Azumarill counter, and this is why. It takes at least 3 hits from anything Azumarill runs and 2HKOes back.
Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Giga Drain
- Clear Smog
- Spore
- Sludge Bomb / Hidden Power Fire / Foul Play
Amoonguss's good typing and solid bulk lets it shrug off everything CB Azu can do to it while whittling it down with Giga Drain / Sludge Bomb and Regenerator allows it to switch in multiple times healing a large amount of damage from Azus attacks.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 136 Def Amoonguss: 150-177 (34.7 - 40.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 136 Def Amoonguss: 134-158 (31 - 36.5%) -- 66.2% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery
0 SpA Amoonguss Giga Drain vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 168-200 (43.7 - 52%) -- 14.5% chance to 2HKO
0 SpA Amoonguss Sludge Bomb vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 204-242 (53.1 - 63%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 SpA Amoonguss Clear Smog vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 114-134 (29.6 - 34.8%) -- 11% chance to 3HKO
Dragalge @ Black Sludge
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 228 HP / 252 SpA / 28 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast / Hidden Power Fire
- Toxic Spikes
Dragalge isn't able to switch into a Banded Play Rough, but it can switch into every other move easily and easily OHKO it with Sludge Wave.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 228 HP / 0 Def Dragalge: 292-345 (89 - 105.1%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 228 HP / 0 Def Dragalge: 130-153 (39.6 - 46.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 228 HP / 0 Def Dragalge: 65-77 (19.8 - 23.4%) -- possible 6HKO after Black Sludge recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 228 HP / 0 Def Dragalge: 130-153 (39.6 - 46.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery
228+ SpA Adaptability Dragalge Sludge Wave vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 440-520 (114.5 - 135.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Thanks to its solid physical defense and typing, Skarmory easily switches into any of Azumarill's attacks. If it happens to switch into a Waterfall, it takes under half and is able to outspeed and spam Roost and wear it down with a possible Rocky Helmet. If lacking Rocky Helmet, it can retaliate back with Counter, dealing massive damage to Azumarill.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 67-81 (20 - 24.2%) -- possible 6HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 76-90 (22.7 - 26.9%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 136-160 (40.7 - 47.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 135-160 (40.4 - 47.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Slowbro @ Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Iron Defense
- Slack Off
Slowbro can come in easily on any of Azumarill's moves and heal up with Slack Off or boost up with Iron Defense. Then, it can prepare for a Calm Mind sweep or fish for a burn with Scald.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 80+ Def Mega Slowbro: 139-165 (35.2 - 41.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 80+ Def Mega Slowbro: 136-160 (34.5 - 40.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 80+ Def Mega Slowbro: 62-73 (15.7 - 18.5%) -- possible 5HKO after Stealth Rock
Toxicroak can't switch into a Play Rough, but it can switch into any water type move thanks to its ability Dry Skin, which heals it instead. And Gunk Shot can easily OHKO Azumarill.
252 Atk Life Orb Toxicroak Gunk Shot vs. 172 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 530-627 (138 - 163.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. Dry Skin Toxicroak: 0-0 (0 - 0%) -- aim for the horn next time
Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 44 Atk / 16 Def / 200 SpD
Impish Nature
- Swords Dance
- Roost
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
Mega Scizor can stomach almost anything Azumarill can throw at it and outspeed it to Roost off the damage until it can safely use Knock Off (unless it uses Aqua Jet, which doesn't hit nearly hard enough):
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Mega Scizor: 81-96 (23.6 - 27.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Mega Scizor: 90-106 (26.2 - 30.9%) -- 21.4% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Mega Scizor: 160-189 (46.6 - 55.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Mega Scizor: 107-126 (31.1 - 36.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
(You can Roost between hits and survive)
It only gets hairy when it is locked into Waterfall, but on the plus side the threat of knocking off its Choice Band is still a notable threat that can force it out. Of course it's still fully capable of staying in and taking out Mega Scizor if you do that:
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Mega Scizor: 160-189 (46.6 - 55.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Mega Scizor: 108-127 (31.4 - 37%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 248 HP / 16+ Def Mega Scizor: 54-64 (15.7 - 18.6%) -- possible 5HKO after Stealth Rock
(Should be a guaranteed kill after Stealth Rock)
Set depends on how you use Roserade really. You've got Black Sludge, which offers a bit more longevity and the defensive power to set up Toxic Spikes and put foes to sleep via Sleep Powder, and Life Orb for that extra "oomph" in power, which works nicely with Spikes and Leaf Storm. Anyway, the point is Roserade is a cool check to Azumarill, as it can switch into any move with impunity, outspeed it on the next turn, and OHKO with Sludge Bomb, or Giga Drain / Leaf Storm if using Life Orb. Choice Band Play Rough does do upward 80% which is annoying, but Roserade switches in much better on Superpower, Waterfall, or Aqua Jet.
252 SpA Roserade Sludge Bomb vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 344-408 (89.5 - 106.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roserade: 190-224 (73.3 - 86.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Roserade Giga Drain vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 374-445 (97.3 - 115.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
Can come into anything but play rough and OHKO back or maybe set up with Agility.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Ampharos: 114-135 (35.4 - 41.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Knock Off vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Ampharos: 124-147 (38.5 - 45.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Mold Breaker Mega Ampharos Thunderbolt vs. 88 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 464-548 (127.8 - 150.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Charizard-Mega-Y @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fire Blast
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast
- Roost
Thanks to its double typing, Mega Charizard Y can come on two of Azumarill's moves if no rocks and heal up or OHKO back with solar beam. Otherwise it makes a good check that can almost always OHKO Azumarill or strongly hit with fire blast on an eventual switch-in.
Bonus : The Sun brought by Charizard may help teammates to tank a Water move from Azumarill.
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 366-432 (95.3 - 112.5%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill in Sun: 189-222 (49.2 - 57.8%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y in Sun: 288-342 (96.9 - 115.1%)
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y: 164-193 (55.2 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y: 145-171 (48.8 - 57.5%) -- 96.1% chance to 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y in Sun: 144-170 (48.4 - 57.2%) -- 90.2% chance to 2HKO
I'm typing on phone so I will be skipping the exact numbers, but off the top of my head, after Intimidate, Play Rough tops out at ~90%, Aqua Jet at ~40% x 2 turns = 80%, so either way Manectric can come in and go to Thunderbolt for the KO. What makes Manectric a check rather than a counter is that it has a small chance of losing of SR are up, but only to Play Rough.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 152+ Def Celebi: 211-249 (52.3 - 61.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 SpA Celebi Giga Drain vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 194-230 (50.5 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Celebi can switch in and either spam Recover until Azumarill misses a Play Rough, or simply Giga Drain twice to achieve a KO, since Giga Drain will put it out of KO range of a second Play Rough. This will leave it relatively weakened afterwards but it does the job. Not really a counter if Azumarill is carrying Knock Off, but this one is not.
By switching into anything from CB Azumarill bar Superpower, Cofagrigus will momentarily make it change its ability Huge Power into Mummy. If it switches into Azumarill's Superpower, then Cofagrigus has a free turn to lay down some Toxic Spikes, burn the switch-in with Will-O-Wisp or simply deal some damage with Hex (would probably be the best option if both Toxic Spikes layers are set). Cofagrigus can also semi-reliably heal itself with Pain Split or even with Snatch if giving it stallbreaking purposes is prefered for the team's needs.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cofagrigus: 67-79 (20.9 - 24.6%) -- possible 5HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cofagrigus: 33-40 (10.3 - 12.5%) -- possibly the worst move ever
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cofagrigus: 132-156 (41.2 - 48.7%) -- 10.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

252+ Atk Choice Band Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cofagrigus: 75-88 (23.4 - 27.5%) -- 2.8% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Cofagrigus Hex (130 BP) vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 160-190 (41.6 - 49.4%) -- 24.2% chance to 2HKO after toxic damage (guaranteed 2HKO after SR and toxic damage)
0 SpA Cofagrigus Hex (130 BP) vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 160-190 (41.6 - 49.4%) -- 86.7% chance to 2HKO after poison damage (guaranteed 2HKO after SR and poison damage)
And just for the lolz:
252+ Atk Choice Band burned Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cofagrigus: 37-44 (11.5 - 13.7%) -- possibly the worst move ever
Tentacruel acts as a check to banded Azumarill while also possessing some useful utility as a rapid spinner. Play rough is the strongest move that azu can hit with which is a 3hko while sludge bomb is an easy 2hko despite the lack of offensive investment. Getting the scald burn is also a good move if you're feeling lucky.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 216+ Def Tentacruel: 131-154 (36 - 42.4%) -- 94.6% chance to 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 248 HP / 216+ Def Tentacruel: 116-137 (31.9 - 37.7%) -- 0.2% chance to 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery
0 SpA Tentacruel Sludge Bomb vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 194-230 (50.5 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Uses wisp, lives any hit, pain splits, then volt switches out.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Rotom-W: 184-217 (60.7 - 71.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery (you can switch in)

Wobbuffet @ Custap Berry
Ability: Shadow Tag

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. 88 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 366-432 (100.8 - 119%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Mega Sceptile is a check as it can switch into Aqua Jet, Waterfall, or Knock Off (if applicable), and OHKO back with Giga Drain after Stealth Rock damage. Superpower and Play Rough obviously OHKO which is why Mega Sceptile isn't a counter. If using Leaf Storm Mega Sceptile wins even easier.
252 SpA Mega Sceptile Giga Drain vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 320-380 (83.3 - 98.9%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Sceptile: 75-89 (26.6 - 31.6%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 172 HP / 252 SpA / 84 Spe
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power Fire
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
Status: Check
Magnezone switches into anything bar Superpower with ease due to the Choiced nature of this Azumarill set and OHKO back with Thunderbolt or gain momentum via Volt Switch. Choice Scarf works but Thunderbolt won't always OHKO.
Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Knock Off
- Sleep Powder
- Hidden Power Ice
As long as Stealth Rock isn't up, Tangrowth avoids the 2HKO from any move Azumarill carries and can OHKO back with Leaf Storm (it can faint to 2 Play Roughs if Rocks are up though). Regenerator allows Tangrowth to heal up in case you mispredict with it.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tangrowth: 166-196 (41 - 48.5%) -- 10.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tangrowth: 73-87 (18 - 21.5%) -- possible 6HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Tangrowth Leaf Storm vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 366-432 (95.3 - 112.5%) -- 75% chance to OHKO (guaranteed OHKO after SR)
EDIT: It's a different set so I think it's allowed, GnralLao . Doesn't really care too much anyway. Thanks for notifying me of the calculations though.
Serperior can reliably switch into Aqua Jets and one Waterfall (but can survive one hit from the other moves if lucky enough or if SR aren't up) before OHKOing with Leaf Storm and grabbing a nice SpAtk boost. If LO recoil is unappealing, you can always use Miracle Seed instead as it'll OHKO Azumarill despite the decreased damage output.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Serperior: 63-74 (21.7 - 25.6%) -- 100% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Serperior: 124-147 (42.9 - 50.8%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Mega Aggron as a Check
Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 240 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Roar / Toxic / Thunder Wave
- Heavy Slam
- Earthquake
M-Aggron easily eats up Azumarill's STAB moves due to its spectacular physical bulk. Moreover, Azumarill can't 2HKO with Superpower after SR while M-Aggron can OHKO with Heavy Slam after SR and a Def drop from Superpower. Without stat drops, M-Aggron still 2HKOes Azumarill while it isn't 2HKOed in return.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 16+ Def Mega Aggron: 51-61 (14.8 - 17.7%) -- possible 6HKO after Stealth Rock

Kyurem-B can switch into Waterfall and Aqua Jet and OHKO back with Fusion Bolt (preferably after SR so you get a guaranteed OHKO). However, it can't switch into Azumarill's other moves as they both OHKO Kyurem-B. Roost is useful for gaining your HP back from Azumarill's powerful moves and LO recoil.
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Kyurem-B: 66-78 (16.8 - 19.9%) -- 22.5% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock

Tangrowth as a Check
Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Knock Off
- Earthquake

Tangrowth easily tanks Azumarill's water STABs and in a 1 vs 1 situation, it can take a Play Rough before OHKOing with Leaf Storm (again, it would be preferable after SR so you get a guaranteed OHKO).
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tangrowth: 49-58 (12.1 - 14.3%) -- possible 7HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tangrowth: 98-116 (24.2 - 28.7%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Superpower vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tangrowth: 196-231 (48.5 - 57.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tangrowth: 220-261 (54.4 - 64.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 SpA Tangrowth Leaf Storm vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 366-432 (95.3 - 112.5%) -- 75% chance to OHKO (guaranteed OHKO after SR)
Thanks for reading!
Btw Fire-breather Richard, since I was about to finish typing out Tangrowth just when you submitted it and I realized my submission was different from yours, I hope you won't be mad at me if I keep it. If you want me to take it out, than I'll simply do so. Oh and your last calc is wrong: you used the old spread of 88 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 164 Spe instead of the newer and better 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe, which will result in this calc instead:
0 SpA Tangrowth Leaf Storm vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 366-432 (95.3 - 112.5%) -- 75% chance to OHKO (guaranteed OHKO after SR)
Aragorn is away for another week, so you all get me posting the victim this week again! I don't think this has been done, confirmed by a quick search of the topic. My bad if it has been done Aragorn the King
Mixed Thundurus
Thundurus @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 76 Atk / 180 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- Hidden Power Ice
AM please update topic title when you have the chance.
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 124 Def / 128 SpD / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Slack Off
- Stone Edge
Hippos good typing and bulk lets it switch into Thundurus easily and Life Orb + Sand stall it into range of Stone Edge. Its decent special bulk manages to avoid the 2HKO from Thundurus's HP Ice while taking minimal damage from everything else
180 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 128 SpD Hippowdon: 177-208 (42.1 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Hippowdon Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Thundurus: 214-252 (71.5 - 84.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after sandstorm damage
Pawprints (Venusaur) @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 232 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 20 Spe
Modest Nature
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power Fire
- Synthesis
Mega Venusaur, even offensive varients, take pathetic damage from any of Thundurus's attacks thanks to Thick Fat, Knock Off immunity and resistances to its coverage moves. Thundurus's best bet is actually Thunderbolt to hope for para-hax, which, funny enough, does more than Hidden Power Ice, although that only has a chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock damage. Even if Venusaur is not already Mega Evolved and switches into a Hidden Power Ice, it takes around 50%, and proceeds to gain Thick Fat on the next turn and can stall it out with Synthesis. Venusaur OHKOs back with Sludge Bomb after Stealth Rock damage.
180 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 232 HP / 4 SpD Mega Venusaur: 75-90 (20.8 - 25%) -- 0% chance to 4HKO
76 Atk Life Orb Thundurus Knock Off vs. 232 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 62-74 (17.2 - 20.6%) -- possible 5HKO
76 Atk Life Orb Thundurus Superpower vs. 232 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 56-66 (15.5 - 18.3%) -- possible 6HKO
180 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Hidden Power Ice vs. 232 HP / 4 SpD Thick Fat Mega Venusaur: 70-83 (19.4 - 23.1%) -- possible 5HKO
To regular Venusaur:
180 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Hidden Power Ice vs. 232 HP / 4 SpD Venusaur: 159-187 (44.2 - 52%) -- 13.7% chance to 2HKO
252+ SpA Mega Venusaur Sludge Bomb vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Thundurus: 207-244 (69.2 - 81.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Seismitoad @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 Spe
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
Seismitoad is immune to Thundurus's main STAB move, and takes pitiful damage from the rest of its attacks. In retaliation, Seismitoad can use Knock Off, making Thundurus's moves doing even less, or simply wear it down with Scald.
76 Atk Life Orb Thundurus Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 244+ Def Seismitoad: 95-113 (22.9 - 27.2%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
76 Atk Life Orb Thundurus Superpower vs. 252 HP / 244+ Def Seismitoad: 118-140 (28.5 - 33.8%) -- 98.6% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
180 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Seismitoad: 100-118 (24.1 - 28.5%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Seismitoad Scald vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Thundurus: 102-120 (34.1 - 40.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
