Counter that RU Pokemon!!

Ok, the rules are simple: just like in the UU and LC version, your objective is to counter the last pokemon posted.

YOU SHOULD RESERVE YOUR POSTS FOR 15-30 MINS, ONLY. NO MORE THAN THAT.

YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN HOW YOUR POKEMON COUNTERS THE LAST ONE!!

Lanturn @ Leftovers
252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Heal Bell

Isn't 3hko'd by HP Grass and I think it 2hkos with Surf. If not add more SpA!
 
Just a tiny nitpick. I think it would be better if abilities were posted and explained how it is countered. :P

Yeah, this. Can we at least add a sentence to back up our counters? What tennisace did is fine enough. Otherwise, you're just boosting your post count and not providing any discussion at all. If that continues, I'm going to lock this.

PS i don't play RU but the first thing that came to mind when I thought of Miltank was Bulk Up Throh. It enjoys Toxic (guts), can boost boost its stats with Bulk up, and phaze with Circle Throw. So if an inexperienced noob like me can write a full two sentences, surely the average RU player can do one!

Wow... i posted, went back to sleep and... this had already happened.

OK, MY BAD. EVERYONE, EXPLAIN HOW YOUR POKEMON COUNTERS THE LAST ONE! ONE OR TWO SENTENCES ARE ENOUGH, THOUGH


Ontopic:



Pinsir (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 164 HP / 116 Atk / 228 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- X-Scissor
- Brick Break
- Substitute
- Bulk Up

Sets up on encoreless poliwraths and proceed to mash through their team!
 
Cofagrigus @ Leftovers
Trait: Mummy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpAtk / 4 SpDef
IVs: 2 Spe
Quiet Nature (+SpAtk, -Spe)
- Trick Room
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- HP [Fighting]

Has massive physical bulk, resists X-Scissor and immune to Brick Break. Hits Pinsir on its unboosted special side and can punish the rest of its team by setting up Trick Room.
 
Skuntank @ Leftovers
252 SpAtk/252 Spe/4 SpDef
Modest / Aftermath

Acid Spray
Fire Blast
Dark Pulse
Sludge Bomb

Dark Pulse 2hkos and it's not 3hko'ed by Hidden Power. It outspeeds for the kill if cofagrigus sets up NP and gets the free hit it needs if it sets up TR as it comes in.
 
Moltres@ Leftovers
248 HP / 84 Def / 176 Spe
Timid/Pressure

Substitute
Roost
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Air Slash

Resists Pinsir's main stab X4, resists Brick Break, both stabs are super effective and Specially based thus negating any Bulk Up boosts. Can also keep its sub in order to handle whatever switches in as well.
You're supposed to counter the pokemon posted right before you, so Skuntank not Pinsir.

Skuntank @ Leftovers
252 SpAtk/252 Spe/4 SpDef
Modest / Aftermath

Acid Spray
Fire Blast
Dark Pulse
Sludge Bomb

Dark Pulse 2hkos and it's not 3hko'ed by Hidden Power. It outspeeds for the kill if cofagrigus sets up NP and gets the free hit it needs if it sets up TR as it comes in.
Probopass (M) @ Earth Gem Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Thunder Wave
- Discharge
- AncientPower

Flamethrower is a 4HKO, acid spray/sludge bomb don't effect it, and Dark pulse is resisted. Earth Power OHKO's wiht Earth Gem, T-wave to slow things down, Ancient Power for STAB + random boosts and Discharge for coverage.

EDIT: 5HKO for Flamethrower at max damage doing 17.6% - 20.6%
 
This is pretty fun actually:

Gligar @ Eviolite
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpAtk)
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Taunt
- Roost

It is immune to Earth Power, Thunder Wave and Discharge and takes negligible damage from AncientPower thanks to reliable recovery in Roost (which also provides a temporary resistance to AncientPower). STAB Earthquake hits Probopass 4x super-effective and it has Taunt to stop Probopass trying anything funny. Toxic to punish switch-ins.

Gligar @ Eviolite

Rotom-F @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate
EVs: 172 HP/ 104 SAtk / 56 SDef / 176 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Charge Beam
- Substitute
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Will-O-Wisp

Levitate to avoid EQ, Substitute to avoid Toxic, Speed EV's outspeed +70 pokes(above gligar is only 207 not 251), HP is leftovers #,104 SpA ensures HP Ice is OHKO. Charge Beam to boost SpA+STAB, HP Ice over Blizzard for accuracy reasons, completes BoltBeam combo+STAB. WoW for Physical threats since its not as bulky on that side.

This thing wants Ice Beam badly Game Freak :(

This is fun though
 
Hariyama @ Leftovers
12 HP / 244 Def / 252 SpD
Ability: Thick Fat
Careful Nature
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Force Palm
-Whirlwind

Takes negligible damage from Charge Beam (because it's weak) and resists HP Ice, can Rest to make Will-o-Wisp not matter. Can phaze it with Whirlwind or kill it straight out with Force Palm (possibly paralyzing it, making it worthless)

That's cheating, you're not allowed to run phazing moves...

Natu (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Hardy Nature
- Roost
- Toxic
- Psychic
- Reflect

It is the only mon in the tier that can switch into whirlwind that isn't hit super effectively by force palm. It 4x resists force palm and can get SpD drops to overcome its inability to 3hko Hariyama.

No phazing moves >:(
