THE combo

Trust

We can find in our metagame that the combo between Celebi and Heatran is EVERYWHERE. Almost half of teams have this combo.

We know what they do together and that they work quite well, but what counters them together?. I would like to read your ways to counter this nasty combo.
 
Coincidentally... Heatran does a fantastic job of dismantling Celetran. Fire Blast for Celebi and Earth Power for Heatran. Both are OHKOs. Heracross is also able to deal with both of them. Starmie can use Ice Beam/Surf to take them out. Honestly, even though they compliment each other, it's not hard to put a Celetran counter in your team.
 
Many top OUs actually handle this without much difficulty, Salamence, Chomp, Infernape, Heatran, HP Ground Yanmega, Togekiss, TTar. Anything with a Ground/Fighting and Fire/Flying/Bug/Dark/etc move can deal with it.
 
While Yanmega can't switch-in freely on Celebi/Heatran, in fear of a Fire-type move or Thunder Wave, Yanmega can certainly hit them both for super effective for an OHKO with Life Orb. Hidden Power [Ground] and Bug Buzz will hit both Celebi and Heatran for x4 super effective, and with Life Orb you will be sure that you can achieve an OHKO on them both respectively.

There are many, many Pokemon that have the ability to hit them both for super effective hits - but I personally do not think that taking them both out with one Pokemon is nescessary.
 
It's an overrated combo easily played around. Half of the time I throw out an Infernape against a Celebi I just CC and they switch to Heatran and die.
 
What phizzlax said. I'm expecting a switch to heatran from celebi or vice versa nowadays, so I just react accordingly.

Bulky waters have their way with the combo too, especially Vaporeon. Grass Knot does bupkis to vappy.

celebi beats almost every bulky water, who gives a shit if gk doesnt have high base power against vappy, what's vappy doing to celebi, ice beaming it while it gets twaved or leech seeded?


anyways this is a pretty pointless thread
celebi rules
 
i usually just use heatran. Earth power the celebi and 99% of the time they switch to heatran. And hell i even fireblast heatran when they switch to celebi expecting earth power
 
Not a hard combo to break at all. Be creative... lately Swift Swim Kingdra has been doing it well. Comes in on Heatran for free and Signal Beams Celebi for a OHKO. Then Heatran wants nothing to do with it :-)

The standard Vaporeon has the potential to 2HK0 the common physdef oriented celebi (252HP/0SPD) with Stealth Rock down, and most of the time Celebi isn't coming in at 100% anyway. Either way, it's putting celebi into recover or die mode.
 
Nasty Plot, Air Slash, Aura Sphere, Roost Togekiss
actually, it doesnt even need Nasty Plot

can switch into both and setup/attack
