All right, submissions are now closed! There are to be no edits of your own Pokemon, nor are there to be any new submissions. A few quick things to note;
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Synthesis / Sleep Powder
- Sludge Bomb
- Giga Drain
- HP Fire
M-Venusaur is the answer for all the Grass-types in BSS. The Special Defense of Kartana is so low that you can keep the bulk of Venusaur. This Mega is still an efficient tank.
0 SpA Mega Venusaur Hidden Power Fire vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Kartana: 252-300 (186.6 - 222.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Kartana Corkscrew Crash (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Venusaur: 96-114 (51.3 - 60.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Arcanine @ Firium Z
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
- Wild Charge / Roar
- Protect / Will-O-Wisp / Morning Sun
Arcanine can switch into opposing Kartana and smack them back. Hard. Intimidate helps with the switch. Extreme Speed picks up weakened foes and sort of remediate Arcanine's avarage speed. The last two slots are to fill your needs. Wild Charge will OHKO greedy Gyarados that goes for the Dragon Dance instead of attacking straight away, but Roar also fills this slot well as resetting a Z-boosted Mimikyu or Eevee is just as good as it sounds.
252+ Atk Arcanine Inferno Overdrive (190 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Kartana through Protect: 127-150 (94 - 111.1%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
yeah.
Zapdos @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Static
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Discharge / Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Roost
- Heat Wave
Zapdos can defeat most variants of Kartana, resisting its STABs and taking little damage from its coverage moves. Rocky Helmet breaks Kartana's sash and Static has a 30% chance to paralyze it, making life pretty hard for the origami sword. The only sets Zapdos has to worry about are Z-Move ones, and even then, only +2 Z-Giga Impact can knock it out from full.

Lopunny-Mega @ Lopunnite
Ability: Scrappy
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Return
- High Jump Kick
- Substitute/ Ice Punch/ Power-up Punch
Pretty Simple. Fake Out to break the sash, OHKO with High Jump Kick afterwards. I like Substitute thanks to its ability to get a free turn against Blaziken, and then ko it with High Jump Kick. Ice Punch threatens Salamence and Landorus, two common switch ins, while Power-Up Punch to helps Lopunny break through bulky foes like Scizor.

Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD or 252 HP / 132 Def / 124 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Flamethrower / Fire Blast
Can switch into a Fighinium Z unboosted AoP no problem, although it dies to a +2. However, any and every variant folds to Flamethrower, unless Sash. Ironically enough, most Kartana are Darkium Z, Sashed, and Scarfed on the PGL ladder. Other than that, it's a generic annoyer ProSeed Steela.
