Generation VI UU Edition

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every generation is different and the metagame is constantly changing. However there's always been and always will be one constant: Threats.
Whether it be a defensive threat or an offensive threats, any competent competitive Pokémon player should have some knowledge on how to handle common, top-tier threats.
That's where you guys as a community come in. This project aims to gather some of the common top-tier threats in the current metagame and find Pokémon that can either check or counter the respective 'mon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Rules
- Every round, I will nominate a Pokémon (moveset specifically) for discussion. Within one week's time, you guys will have the ability to discuss and nominate various Pokémon that you think can either check or counter the victim of the week.
- After the deadline, I will choose the top three checks and the top three counters. Should there be a lot of nominations, I will discuss my choices with other skilled players to ensure the selections are not biased and that all nominations have been considered thoroughly.
- The results will be archived and the process will continue.
- When nominating your check/counter please follow the provided format:
- Name of the Pokémon
- Check or Counter
- Short Description as to why you chose this particular Pokémon
- Set(s) that work well against the victim of the week - Minimum of 3 sentences for each set
- -To be considered a counter, a Pokemon must be able to switch into any of the opponent's moves under normal battle conditions, including taking damage from Stealth Rock, and reliably KO the opponent before the counter is KOed itself.
-To be considered a check, a Pokemon must be able to switch into at least one but not all of the opponent's moves under normal battle conditions, including taking damage from Stealth Rock, and reliably KO the opponent before the counter is KOed itself - I like to believe we're all decently mature ツ
That being said, just exercise some common courtesy please.
