252+ SpA Choice Specs Empoleon Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Yache Berry Dragonite: 384-452 (118.8 - 139.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Vs Shaymin: Shaymin dies after LO recoil, even on minimum ice beam roll, leech seed healing doesn't let it get off a substitute and max roll seed flare + one turn of leech seed chip doesn't kill.

Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
Adamant Nature
- X-Scissor
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake

Zong -> the best play is gyro ball where he does more than outrage on the part of nite thanks also to the CB. But I hold up well and then finish with 2 EQ ignoring Levitate.
252+ Atk Choice Band Bronzong Gyro Ball (107 BP) vs. 40 HP / 0 Def Pinsir: 222-262 (79 - 93.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Pinsir Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Bronzong: 206-244 (60.9 - 72.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Nite -> I am a little faster and I wear scarf so nite will be forced to use outrage where pinsir holds up just enough and with 2 SE removes it.

252+ Atk Dragonite Outrage vs. 40 HP / 0 Def Pinsir: 220-261 (78.2 - 92.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Mold Breaker Pinsir Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 244-288 (75.5 - 89.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Shaymin -> Pinsir is not that I have a prodigious special defense so Seed Flare does me a significant damage but with LO's stab and recoil it's done.
252+ SpA Life Orb Shaymin Seed Flare vs. 40 HP / 0 SpD Pinsir: 156-183 (55.5 - 65.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Pinsir X-Scissor vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Shaymin: 282-332 (82.4 - 97%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Correct me if I'm wrong but we cannot rely on hitting two stone edges? I think the threshold is 70% overall accuracy. In any case rock slide should 2hko anyway
 
well, I put it that way because it is the set although rock slide is a good option too and safer. Anyway I think it is viable. If necessary change it is just a move.

If they outrage t1, you outspeed
+1 32 Atk Gyarados Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 336-396 (104 - 122.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Vs Shaymin - DD Turn 1. If they sub, use flamethrower until they aren't behind a sub. If Shaymin isn't behind a sub, use Bounce

Forretress @ Iron Plate
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Atk / 144 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bug Bite
- Gravity
- Gyro Ball
- Earthquake

Zong -> no one would use this if it is not to break a specific core. The best Zong can do here is Trick and take Macho Brace by CB Forre. I am a little faster, so Gravity first + EQ is enough.
although spam EQ does me interesting harm too.
252+ Atk Choice Band Bronzong Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 144 Def Forretress: 92-110 (25.9 - 31%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
With gravity + eq
112+ Atk Forretress Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Bronzong: 146-172 (43.1 - 50.8%) -- 3.9% chance to 2HKO

Nite -> nite can be a great threat to forre especially if you have Fpunch that is not the case. Well, with support, the iron plate does significant damage, forcing Nite to use DD +1, but it is not enough. The most he gets is with Superpower and lowering the defense is not a good idea.
112+ Atk Iron Plate Forretress Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 229-271 (70.8 - 83.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Shaymin -> click Bug Bite or Gyro
252+ SpA Life Orb Shaymin Seed Flare vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Forretress: 87-103 (24.5 - 29%) -- 99.9% chance to 4HKO

Because of macho brace you aren't faster, right? if zong tricks on gravity you're locked in and will lose quickly. If you bug bite turn 1 on a trick you'll win, but if they eq on your bug bite you lose, making this a 50/50 rather than a counter.

Lapras @ Rindo Berry
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SpA
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Blizzard
- Ice Shard

I really don't know if precision is taken into account in this game but I think Lapras somehow breaks this although it doesn't seem reliable. Well, against the 3 he suffers a lot of damage, that's why I had to make a change.

Zong -> cb zong may be a problem. Zen is what Lapras fears the most here. The funny thing is that it does damage very similar to that of Hpump. I am also faster.
200+ SpA Lapras Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Bronzong: 135-160 (39.9 - 47.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Bronzong Zen Headbutt vs. 252 HP / 56 Def Lapras: 186-220 (40 - 47.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Nite -> It seemed this was the easiest thing with his double weakness to ice. But considering the Yache Berry it is not like that. Spower is the most damage to Lapras but with Blizzard + Ice Shard is enough.
252+ Atk Dragonite Superpower vs. 252 HP / 56 Def Lapras: 330-390 (71.1 - 84%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
200+ SpA Lapras Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Yache Berry Dragonite: 306-362 (94.7 - 112%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

Shaymin -> here the role of the Rindo Berry is key without her help Shaymin kills Flare without problems. otherwise it is similar to the previous one. Blizzard + Ice Combo.
252+ SpA Life Orb Shaymin Seed Flare vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Rindo Berry Lapras: 244-288 (52.5 - 62%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
200+ SpA Lapras Blizzard vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Shaymin: 308-366 (90 - 107%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO

I'm sorry if it turns out a bit heavy but it's the last one I add.

Bronzong can't hit you with its steel/psychic/ground moveset while you comfortably 3hko.
252+ Atk Choice Band Shedinja X-Scissor vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Bronzong: 148-174 (43.7 - 51.4%) -- 9.8% chance to 2HKO

Dragonite, same story, you just take slightly longer.
252+ Atk Choice Band Shedinja X-Scissor vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dragonite: 87-102 (26.9 - 31.5%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

Shaymin might beat you with leech seed but you got the 87.5% victory chance and that's all that matters.
252+ Atk Choice Band Shedinja X-Scissor vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Shaymin: 336-396 (98.2 - 115.7%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Arcanine @ Choice Band
Ability: Intimidate

Jolly Nature
- Flamethrower
- Outrage
- Close Combat

resistance berries? I barely know her.

Avalugg: Flamethrower twice. I initially had that as sacred fire in the calc and it was only barely a 2hko but it turns out that arcanine has never had that move and I must have had it mixed up with entei I guess. Flamethrower is better anyway.

This arcanine has 383 HP so it can never lose to counter, and it has 297 speed so it will always be faster at -1.

24 Atk Choice Band Arcanine Close Combat vs. 152 HP / 252 Def Chople Berry Incineroar: 121-143 (32.7 - 38.7%) -- 99.3% chance to 3HKO
Possible damage amounts: (121, 122, 124, 125, 127, 128, 130, 131, 132, 134, 135, 137, 138, 140, 141, 143) (chople)
Possible damage amounts: (242, 244, 248, 250, 254, 256, 260, 262, 264, 268, 270, 274, 276, 280, 282, 286) (post-chople)
There are seven combinations of damage rolls here that lead to incineroar surviving two close combats, out of a total of 256 possible combinations, meaning it's a little better than 97% to die there. Luckily, that 3ish% shouldn't ever be impactful, as:
-1 104+ Atk Incineroar Fake Out vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Arcanine: 32-38 (8.3 - 9.9%)
-1 104+ Atk Incineroar Darkest Lariat vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Arcanine: 100-118 (26.1 - 30.8%)
-1 104+ Atk Incineroar Flare Blitz vs. -2 248 HP / 0 Def Arcanine: 141-166 (36.8 - 43.3%)
Darkest lariat ignores arcanine's defense drop, at least in the calc. While flare blitz does a little more than darkest lariat would against -1 incineroar, that would absolutely guarantee the 2hko. However, fake out into darkest lariat into flare blitz will never knock arcanine out, so even if the incineroar pulls off a miracle and avoids the 2hko it still needs a crit to win.
 
I should have gone to bed but instead did this. It's another one with fun incineroar math:

Mew @ Maranga Berry
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Charm
- Earth Power
- Nasty Plot
- Ice Beam

Avalugg: earth power twice
252 SpA Mew Earth Power vs. 8 HP / 0- SpD Avalugg: 168-198 (50.4 - 59.4%)
252 Atk Choice Band Avalugg Icicle Spear (5 hits) vs. 0 HP / 252+ Def Mew: 210-245 (61.5 - 71.8%)

Goodra: np into two ice beams. Maranga berry saves you (253 times out of 256) from acid spray->draco. The 4 Spdef comes in handy by removing two possibilities here. mew has 341 hp for reference here, so goodra needs max roll draco plus top 3 roll on acid spray.
+2 252 SpA Mew Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 0+ SpD Goodra: 210-248 (54.8 - 64.7%)
124 SpA Goodra Acid Spray vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 35-42 (10.2 - 12.3%)
Possible damage amounts: (35, 36, 36, 36, 37, 37, 38, 38, 39, 39, 39, 40, 40, 41, 41, 42)
124 SpA Goodra Draco Meteor vs. -1 0 HP / 4 SpD Mew: 255-300 (74.7 - 87.9%)
Possible damage amounts: (255, 258, 261, 264, 267, 270, 273, 276, 279, 282, 285, 288, 291, 294, 297, 300)

Incineroar: charm->earth power spam.
252 SpA Mew Earth Power vs. 152 HP / 0 SpD Incineroar: 180-212 (48.7 - 57.4%) -- 94.1% chance to 2HKO
104+ Atk Incineroar Fake Out vs. 0 HP / 252+ Def Mew: 28-34 (8.2 - 9.9%)
Possible damage amounts: (28, 29, 29, 29, 30, 30, 30, 31, 31, 31, 32, 32, 32, 33, 33, 34)
-2 104+ Atk Incineroar Darkest Lariat vs. 0 HP / 252+ Def Mew: 90-108 (26.3 - 31.6%)
Possible damage amounts: (90, 90, 92, 92, 96, 96, 96, 98, 98, 98, 102, 102, 102, 104, 104, 108)
It's super unlikely but incineroar can technically win this by dodging the earth power 2hko and getting high rolls on all of its attacks. I'd do the math now but I've got physics in 8 1/2 hours and want to sleep. It's probably like less than one % though.
 

Carkol @ Eviolite
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 80 HP / 176 Atk / 252 SpD
Impish Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Rock Blast
- Overheat
- Rest


Among all the things that can break this, it occurs to me to include Carkol. It is not that it is very striking but if the calculations do not fail it is viable.

Incineroar -> interesting set with bulk taking advantage of Intimidate to hold more. Here what more damage fits is his dark stab
104+ Atk Incineroar Darkest Lariat vs. 80 HP / 0+ Def Eviolite Carkol: 84-99 (26.1 - 30.8%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
For my part, the best option is rock blast considering the -1 in attack, maybe it won't do much but I can hit several times each turn.
-1 176 Atk Carkol Rock Blast (2 hits) vs. 152 HP / 252 Def Incineroar: 60-72 (16.2 - 19.5%) -- possible 6HKO
-1 176 Atk Carkol Rock Blast (5 hits) vs. 152 HP / 252 Def Incineroar: 150-180 (40.6 - 48.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Avalugg -> You don't have to be very smart to know that EQ CB avalugg eliminates Carkol without any problem.
252 Atk Choice Band Avalugg Earthquake vs. 80 HP / 0+ Def Eviolite Carkol: 408-480 (127.1 - 149.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
but I am faster and this is what he does with wow.
252 Atk Choice Band burned Avalugg Earthquake vs. 80 HP / 0+ Def Eviolite Carkol: 204-240 (63.5 - 74.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
finally this would be with Overheat.
0- SpA Carkol Overheat vs. 8 HP / 0- SpD Avalugg: 338-402 (101.5 - 120.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Goodra -> here is to wear little by little with wow rest or rock blast until Goodra is eliminated. This is done by D Meteor.
124 SpA Goodra Draco Meteor vs. 80 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Carkol: 112-133 (34.8 - 41.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Can't the Goodra just click acid spray twice
124 SpA Goodra Draco Meteor vs. -4 80 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Carkol: 339-400 (105.6 - 124.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
