Machamp@Life Orb
EV Spread: 252 Attack/252 HP/4 Defense
Trait: Guts
Nature: Adamant
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Cross Chop
-Ice Punch
Resists Dark Pulse, capable of switching in on a Spacial Rend and Focus Punch, can switch in on a Dark Void because it activates Guts and then I can Sleep Talk to sweep. OHKOs with Cross Chop anyhow.
Swellow@Toxic Orb
- Brave Bird
- Facade
- U-Turn
- Protect
EVs: 4HP/252Atk/252Spd
Nature: Adamant
OHKOs it with Guts Brave bird, completely outspeeds it. Facade for Major Damage+STAB. U-Turn to get out and Protect to activiate Toxic Orb.
Wrong. Swellow can't switch in on an Ice Punch.
Aggron@focus Sash
Impish
252 HP 6 atk 252 Def
Metal Burst
Stone Edge
Iron Defense
Ice Punch
Double resist to Both Stab Move and 2 x too bug and OHKO it with SE. It can take A Cross Chop from Machamp that aren't Adamant.
Ok screw what i said then.
Abomasnow@Focus Sash
- Earthquake
- Wood Hammer
- Blizzard
- Focus Punch
Nature: Lonely
EVs:252HP/176Atk/80SpA
Survives Stone Edge with Sash then Kills with EQ. Blizzard only because it never misses in Hail. Hail negates Sash.
HE can survive Earthquakes from Abomasnow if he can take a Cross Chop from Machamp ithink or 3 OHKO?
Huge Defense can handle it.
Assuming a positive nature, the Specs Heatran this is supposed to counter, OHKOs Duggie on the switch-in using any of its moves.
Wouldn't work. Assuming it switches in on Cross Chop/Ice Punch, it'd go something like this:spiderweb said:
Raticate switches in
Machamp uses CC/IP
Raticate's Focus Sash activates and it survives the hit
end of turn
next turn
Raticate Endeavors
Machamp is left at 1HP (in the case of having IPed Raticate, just low health)
Machamp finishes it off with CC/IP
Raticate faints
end of turn
Not a reliable counter.
OMG, I'm just going to counter Abomasnow, k?
Moltres @ Heat Rock
Modest @ 40/0/0/252/0/216
Flamethrower
Solar Beam
Sunny Day
Air Slash
Sets up Sunny Day so that Hail isn't active and brutally rips apart with FT/Air Slash. Solar Beam is there to make it VERY hard for Ground-types.

Calm Mind
Surf
Ice Beam
Rest
With those EVs Earthquake won't be doing much at all. Easy switch into SR, and resists Hydro Pump and Ice Beam.
