Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Haha, Yeah...
the difference between 0hp/0def and 31hp/31def can be anywhere between a 10-20% difference; or even higher, depending on base stat.
Ev's are really, really important too... I know that Terrakion with life orb can still miss some important KO's if it's not at full attack...
Oh, so Suicune with bold/252 hp/no sp. def can survive +2 electric attacks on the special side? or the offensive side? What if Suicune can't OHKO the attacker?
'very hard counter'
There are no hard counters in pokemon. Except Wobbuffet vs Unown.
Whenever anyone quotes anyone else, it automatically changes it to "Originally posted by Fat <username>"
I don't know where the joke came from, though.

I ran a calc; 252 sp. a modest (with scarf) vs 0/0 jolly terrakion

I live in australia and I will be on for about 6...
It makes me laugh all the people who are going 'NO YOU'RE WRONG THIS NEVER EVER WORKS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER USED IT, OR FACED IT IN BATTLE'
To the people suggesting Levitate + Calm Mind, after 1 Calm Mind pokemon with powerful fire attacks can still take huge dents off you which is...
TBH That isn't really true... The only time something like that happened was when he had a Hippowdon which only offensive moves were toxic and earthquake, so he earthquaked for the heck of it. (I still won anyway, but thats not the point)
Also, the one misconception with Gimmick sets is both in the users and in the views of others.
For example, Iron defense Scizor can successfully counter pokemon it would have trouble with otherwise, but it does so at the cost of now no longer being able to be able to counter many other pokemon.
