Togedemaru @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Zing Zap
- Iron Head
- U-turn
- Toxic

Choice Scarf Togedemaru easily serves as an offensive check to newcomer Dodrio. Wouldn't recommend switching it into Dodrio but if it's healthy enough, 1 little Zing Zap easily disposes of it!

252 Atk Togedemaru Zing Zap vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dodrio: 288-342 (110.3 - 131%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Pyukumuku @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Toxic
- Protect
- Recover
- Block

Pyukumuku is one of the best counters to Dodrio. Thanks to Unaware, it takes next to nothing from Dodrio's moves, even boosted. Simply Block, then Toxic stall it to death.

Lycanroc @ Lycanium Z
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Drill Run

Lycanroc is probably one of the best offensive checks to Dodrio because it can outspeed, OHKO, and revenge kill it if needed with Stone Edge. It can even pivot into Brave Bird.

252 Atk Lycanroc Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dodrio: 402-474 (154 - 181.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Dodrio Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Lycanroc: 123-145 (42.2 - 49.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Carracosta @ Weakness Policy
Jolly Nature
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Shell Smash
- Stone Edge
- Aqua Jet
- Liquidation

With Solid Rock and a Jolly nature, Carracosta is an excellent check to Dodrio. Jolly allows Costa to outspeed Dodrio after one Shell Smash, while Solid Rock ensures that it can survive an unboosted AoP+a Quick Attack after the Shell Smash. Once the opponent's priority users are killed or weakened, Costa can use Dodrio as setup fodder for a sweep.

252 Atk Dodrio All-Out Pummeling (180 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Solid Rock Carracosta: 204-241 (70.5 - 83.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Carracosta Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dodrio: 384-452 (147.1 - 173.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Omastar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes

Sash Omastar actually has the likes of dodrio as it can use It to get +2 while Ice getting a kill with Ice beam and setting hazards later,great offensive check

Manectric @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Grass]/ Switcheroo

I've been using scarf Mane a lot lately, and with Dodrio dropping, It has been performing even better due to its ability to easily offensively check it. Similarly to Lycanroc, It can potentially switch into Drio's Brave Bird.(I don't recommend that though)

Pointless Calcs:
252 SpA Manectric Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dodrio: 384-452 (147.1 - 173.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO (duh)
252 SpA Manectric Volt Switch vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dodrio: 300-354 (114.9 - 135.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
 
stunfisk.gif

Stunfisk @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Discharge
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Toxic

This is still a mon lol. Submitting a defensive check in Stunfisk. Z-move from Dodrio never KO's while Discharge damages Dodrio by a lot and has a chance to paralyze for something else to revenge kill. Iapapa is nice since it allows you to potentially activate your berry if they decide to pop their z-move. Looks like a fun mon rn with all the water types running around I might build a team around it in the future.

Calcs:
+2 252 Atk Dodrio All-Out Pummeling (180 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Stunfisk: 281-331 (66.5 - 78.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+2 252 Atk Dodrio Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Stunfisk: 156-184 (36.9 - 43.6%) -- 99.7% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

skuntank.gif

Skuntank @ Choice Band
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Poison Jab
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit

Banded Skunk easily disposes of Specs Jelly and serves as a offensive check. Both Sucker and Crunch OHKO it! Skunk does have to fear all of Jellicent's moves save for Shadow Ball which 3HKOs. Other than that, Skunk does it in!

252 Atk Choice Band Skuntank Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Jellicent: 366-432 (107.3 - 126.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 Atk Choice Band Skuntank Crunch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Jellicent: 420-494 (123.1 - 144.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Cradily @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Recover
- Giga Drain
- Toxic

Cradily is the closest thing to a viable counter against Choice Specs Jellicent, as it soaks up the deadly Water Spout with ease and tanks Shadow Ball convincingly. Choice Specs Ice Beam never 2HKOs from full with Leftovers, so it’s always a switch in when healthy.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Jellicent Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Cradily: 168-198 (44.6 - 52.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
 
Articuno as a counter

articuno.gif

Articuno @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 68 SpA / 132 SpD / 56 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Freeze-Dry
- Substitute
- Roost
- Protect / Hurricane / Defog / Heal Bell / Toxic


252+ SpA Choice Specs Jellicent Water Spout (132 BP) vs. 252 HP / 132+ SpD Articuno: 180-213 (46.8 - 55.4%)
252+ SpA Choice Specs Jellicent Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 132+ SpD Articuno: 150-177 (39 - 46%)

68 SpA Articuno Freeze-Dry vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Jellicent: 152-180 (44.5 - 52.7%)

easily roost off the damage, pressure lets you only have to tank a few more
you can also run a z crystal to stop trick without impacting its bulk
can take away evs from sp attack to outspeed timid jellies as well

stealth rock

Lanturn @ Assault Vest
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 72 SpD / 184 Spe
Modest Nature
- Scald
- Volt Switch
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Grass

AV Lanturn serves as a check to specs Jellicent by easily switching into it and threatening with volt switch. It doesnt OKHO, but it is slower than max speed Jellicent, so it can severely damage Jellicent and allow you to send in any pokemon you want to revenge kill it.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Jellicent Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 88 SpD Assault Vest Lanturn: 121-144 (30.9 - 36.8%) -- 71.3% chance to 3HKO

Drampa @ Dragonium Z
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 HP / 32 SpA / 100 SpD / 124 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Draco Meteor
- Calm Mind
- Hyper Voice

I dunno how viable this set might currently be in PU but I'm submitting this specific set as a Jellicent counter. If they are ice beam then lol you're pretty much done for but it walls the OG set without much effort. EV spread makes Water Spout a guaranteed 3HKO after stealth rock so you won't have to risk dying from two of them. (Shoutout to Abejas who inspired me with his NU Viability Rankings post about Drampa)

da calc:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Jellicent Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 100+ SpD Drampa: 133-157 (36.9 - 43.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
