Checks & Counters
########
* Any pokemon with a variety of moves and with good predictions is a counter
* Strong physical hits
* Skarmory can just sit their and Brave Bird because of the lack of type coverage
* Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn can easily tank any hit and dish out tons of damage
* Volcarona, Dragonite and any other pokemon which sets up can easily abuse the fact that Kecleon most likely cannot hit it hard and set up all over you
* Because of low HP and Def Kecleon cannot tank physical hits well at all making any good physical attacker able to KO it
* Because of low Atk stat it needs 1 or 2 Power-Up Punches up to be able to do good damage
