Takes little damage from anything but Crunch, which still doesn't do enough to KO before he can Slack Off the damage and strike back with STABed, SE Earthquake.

To Hippowdon:

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Bold@ 252/0/112/144/0/0
Psychic
Grass Knot

Comes in on anything, CM's up, and assuming you don't phaze me, I hit you with Grass Knot. HP Ground is for Fire Types IMO.

Bronzong,

Togetic @ Lum Berry
Modest, Serene Grace
252 HP/ 252 S.Atk/ 4 S.Def
-Nasty Plot
-Thunderwave
-Fire Blast
-HP Fighting

Togetic is slower than Togekiss, so it takes less from Gyro Ball. Plots, Fire Blasts. HP Fighting is for Heatran.

 

[Rhykune]

If Togetic gets slept on the switch in, Gyro Ball would kill it eventually.
EDIT: Missed Lum Berry

[umbarsc]

Why would you run Hidden Power Fire? Thunderbolt does more to all Steel-types except Steelix and Forretress, plus you're now helpless against BOTH Swampert and Garchomp.

Sorry, had a bit of a mind lapse there...

If he hasnt magnet rised I 1HKO with EQ. Gets a good boost from tbolt and doesnt take a whole lot from HP Ice.

Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature Modest

~Dragon Pusle
~Earth Power
~Flamethrower
~Overheat

 

[Doctor Mudkip]

Heatran can't be a Mamoswine counter because quite obviously youre running from EQ which easily 1HKO it.

 

[blastoiselover100]

Choice Scarf n00b. Get a brain. That increases its speed to beat the fastest non-scarf Mamoswine. I am pretty sure that a 394 SAtk Heatran with Overheat can OHKO Mamoswine.

Even Choice Scarf won't let you attack while you're in the process of switching in and eating an Earthquake on said switch.

@ Mamoswine

Charizard @ Focus Sash
252 spd, 252 s.atk, 6 hp
Timid nature
- Fire Blast
- Air Slash
- Dragon Pulse
- Focus Blast

Takes the Stone Edge courtesy of the sash and abuses its newfound Blaze-boosted Fire Blast to incinerate the mammoth.

 

[Amandabynes]

Heatran couldn't switch in safely to a Mamoswine. I don't know why anyone would switch any Heatran into a Mamoswine.

Who says you have to switch into it and who says it is going to use EQ?

 

[tdub13]

Who says you have to switch into it and who says it is going to use EQ?

the definition of a counter. ohh burn!

 

[Rodger]

Who says you have to switch into it and who says it is going to use EQ?

for the purposes of this game, a "counter" is a Pokemon that can switch into a Pokemon, and, assuming neither Pokemon switches, that counter Pokemon will end up with at least 1 HP, and the other Pokemon will be fainted.

Heatran switches in on Ice Shard: Check.
Heatran switches in on Ice Fang: Check
Heatran switches in on Stone Edge: Check
Heatran switches in on Earthquake: Not Check

Since one of Mamoswine's attacks are not a safe switch in for it, and its definitely not surviving the Earthquake period, its not a counter.

Edit: Thought this part was included in the above quote...

A counter has to be able to switch in to any of the pokemons moves and basically either make the original pokemon switch out, or kill it before it kills you.
