You still lose since they can Trick 16 times and waste 16 Counter PP, clicking any other move on Trick loses instantly. They can waste the remaining 16 PP of Conter with Zen Headbutt then win with Iron Head or Fire Punch.

you should run mail to prevent trick, otherwise jirachi tricks you and pp stalls counter with zen headbutt
Trick still works if only one pokemon is holding an item, though as potato says you can run mail.

whoops got held up with a busy week x2
The twenty-second cycle is over with DannyDoritos winning with his Infernape and Nalei winning the challenge with her Bronzor!
The next cycle will be featuring a DPP team built by Gym Socks!, this cycle will run until the 30th
The challenge this week is: Limited Budget. Build a mon with the lowest amount of combined PP+number of EVs. For example, a mon with Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, and 64 EVs would be worth 88 points.
Have fun breaking!

Trick into Blizzard into 2 Hydro Pumps. You can miss up to twice which I'm pretty sure puts Starmie above the 70% threshold needed.

mifbh (Walrein) @ Rindo Berry
Ability: Thick Fat
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

vs. Arcanine:
224 SpA Choice Specs Arcanine Hidden Power Grass vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Rindo Berry Walrein: 102-120 (28.2 - 33.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
224 SpA Choice Specs Arcanine Hidden Power Grass vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Walrein: 204-240 (56.5 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Walrein has 361 HP without any investment, meaning that it can survive two Arcanine's Hidden Power Grass with maximum damage output, leaving at 1 HP, while Walrein's super-effective Surf can eliminate Arcanine twice.
vs. Zapdos: Encore on whatever move.
0+ SpA Walrein Surf vs. 248 HP / 76+ SpD Zapdos: 99-117 (25.8 - 30.5%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
Walrein, without SpA EVs and its Modest nature allows it to break Substitutes every time.
vs. Dragonite:
252 Atk Dragonite Superpower vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Walrein: 294-346 (81.4 - 95.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Walrein is capable of surviving non-Adamant Scarf variants with Superpower while obliterating it with Blizzard (hopefully it doesn't miss).
This may leave it at 40 points thanks to Surf's PPs; if it weren't for Walrein learning Hydro Pump, it would've been the least amount of points it could get, unless I could reduce Surf's PP to 15 loooooool

The challenge this week is: Hardly Standing. Create a mon that starts with an amount of HP which you decide. This value you choose will be used for all three mons and it’s the number that counts for the challenge. The lowest amount HP selected wins. For the sake of this not actually being an upside the following are banned.
Pinch Berries (Liechi/Petaya/etc)
Type Move Boosting Abilities (Overgrow/Swarm/etc)
Moves Boosted By Low HP (Reversal/Flail/etc)
