Counter That Threat!
The goal of Counter That Threat is to find and discuss the best counter for some of the biggest threats in the metagame. A Pokemon will be selected each week, and you will then be able to submit one counter for that Pokemon. Please include a set along with a description that explains why you chose that set and how it effectively counters the current week's threat. After some time, a voting period will begin in which you can vote for the Pokemon that you believe is the best counter.
Rules:
This Week's Threat:
Doduo @ Berry Juice
Ability: Early Bird
Level: 5
EVs: 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Knock Off
- Jump Kick
- Quick Attack

After some time, a voting period will begin in which you can vote for the Pokemon that you believe is the best counter.
Rules:
- You may not reserve a Pokemon to post later.
- You may only nominate one Pokemon and make one vote per week.
- You may not submit a Pokemon that has already been nominated in the same week.
- You may not vote for your own nomination.
- Avoid gimmicks and unviable Pokemon. A good counter has utility outside of countering the given threat.
