Aggron as a counter
Aggron @ Leftovers
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Head Smash
- Toxic
- Protect
Pretty simple, you take nothing from Jynx's attacks and Head Smash obviously ko's. There's a 16% chance of Jynx sleeping Aggron on the turn it switches in, then getting 3 sleep turns in which it sets up and then gets 3 decent rolls to kill you, which I feel is insignificant enough to have it as a counter.
To justify the set as a whole, spdef aggron is a nice rocker that answers some prominent special attackers such as the aforementioned Jynx, Mesprit, Oricorio, Drampa (shakily) etc. while also having great offensive presence with Head Smash (Unlike probo) and surprising longevity with rocks resistance, poison immunity and protect+lefties.
252 SpA Jynx Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aggron: 36-42 (10.4 - 12.2%) -- possibly the worst move ever
252 SpA Jynx Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Aggron: 66-78 (19.1 - 22.6%) -- possible 6HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Aggron Head Smash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Jynx: 780-918 (287.8 - 338.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
