Moltres @ Flyinium Z
Timid Nature
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Hurricane
- Fire Blast
- Roost
- Defog / U-turn
Moltres is a strong counter to this thing as can always switch into it even if it tries setting up SR. It has no coverahe to hit it super effectively unless it is carrying Stone Edge which the Curse set can't fit on. It blows Lix back with a Fire Blast and has the potential to burn it with Flame Body. It can also just Defog the rocks it sets each time. Has access to reliable recovery to keep checking it.
+1 208+ Atk Steelix-Mega Gyro Ball (131 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Moltres: 181-213 (56.3 - 66.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Moltres Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 48 SpD Steelix-Mega: 348-410 (98.3 - 115.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
Kommo-o @ Life Orb
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Clanging Scales
- Close Combat
- Flamethrower
- Stealth Rock
Kommo-o is a good check which can beat down Lix well. It has access to Flamethrower to punish Curse sets better + hits harder than CC in general. Bulletproof also makes it immune to Gyro Ball. It can also eat a +1 Quake which is really nice, while also setting up rocks vs it very easily thanks to Lix fearing taking a CC in general.
252 SpA Life Orb Kommo-o Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 48 SpD Steelix-Mega: 211-250 (59.6 - 70.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 208+ Atk Steelix-Mega Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kommo-o: 210-247 (72.1 - 84.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
