Hippo is a sun counter yeah, but Vullaby can't switch in if sr are set, it tends to prove that it's not that a sure counter.
Eleskit dooesn't smash it all the time. If you have a good hazard control, you doesn't have problems. In my sun I just have Defog Archen + Drilbur Rapid Spin, and I never had problems with swebs. And Bellsprout under sun after sweb is 19 spd, it's enough most of the time for sweep and make huge damages, and sweb sweepers are often pretty slow, so it's even better. Sun/Sweb, if the ssun has a good hazard control, it's like 50/50 for me. Birdspam, once Fletchling died, is pretty weak tbh. Birdspam has often things like chou in their teambuildings, and some mons who are weak to sprout. In birds, they are all beaten, without Vulla/Fletch and maybe Drifloon. Water Spam is beaten yeah. And you can't compare a pretty luck based playstyle with sun, who is really rarely beaten before playing in the team preview.
