The goal of this thread is as follows. Each week a specific core will be chosen, and each person's goal will be to come up with a Pokemon or core that can effectively nullify the threat selected that week. When nominating a pokemon, make sure that you give a valid description as to why it is an effective counter to the selected threat, and make sure that it is a true counter, and not just a check. At the end of each week, a voting period will ensue in which everybody will vote for a single nomination as the most effective counter to the selected threat of the week. Feel free to discuss and post in the thread, but make sure you only nominate 1x per week to give everybody equal opportunity! Below is an example nomination.

Threat: Terrakion + Bisharp
Counter:
BALK (Azumarill) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 200 HP / 212 Atk / 96 Def
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Waterfall/Superpower
- Play Rough
- Superpower/Protect
Azumarill's typing and stats allow it to switch into Knock Offs, Close Combats and even Rock Slides with ease. Water and Fairy-type both kill Terrakion, and Bisharp gets slaughtered by Superpower. Alternatively, you can choose to run Protect, but Bisharp gives you a much harder time (you still 2HKO with Play Rough + Aqua Jet and LO recoil). The EVs ensure that it never gets KO'd by Close Combat + Iron Head.
