Are there any situations where a Pokemon with the Sturdy ability (moves that would kill it in 1 hit will instead leave it at 1hp) will still faint from a single hit?

The reason I ask is because of the fight with Iris. I was fighting her Haxorus with my Magnezone (it has sturdy), and she is able to 1-shot my Magnezone with Earthquake every time. What is the deal here? I was under the impression that Sturdy was a 100% guarantee to survive at least 1 turn.
