Edit: yeah ignore this. I was late countering moltres.

 

[The_Rider]

I just ran some calcs and that milotic isn't really a counter to SpecsMie as it is 2hko by TBolt so it can't switch in safely especially since Mie outspeeds Milotic.

Will-O-Wisp doesn't really bother it since it's a special sweeper, OHKOs with Psychic.

Magnezone @ Life Orb
Mild 252 SpAtk, 252 Atk
-Sub
-Tbolt
-Explosion
-HP Ice

Resists all of your attacks and can 2HKO(Or 3HKO?) with TBolt. Or I can just explode if you CM too much. Without a recovery move, I can just weaken it until it goes to Explosion KO range.

I'm going to ignore the Zapdos post because 1, why would you put a counter to your own post right aftter. And 2, Zapdos CAN NOT SWITCH INTO MEDICHAM.

Sandstorm kills sheddy even if TTar doesn't come in on wisp. Yeah, it hurts it but it still takes sheddy down.
