@ Empoleon:

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Intimidate, Adamant
212 Hp, 16 At, 180 De, 100 Sp
~Ice Fang
~Earthquake
~Taunt
~Dragon Dance

Intimidates your pathetic Attack, resists all but Avalanche, can DD while Avalanche does a pitiful 60 base power to it, and once it's finished dancing, kills with EQ.

Oh, Vaporeon.

Well, this is a pretty safe counter.

Quagsire @ Leftovers
Relaxed - Water Absorb
252 HP/252 Def/6 Spatk
~Earthquake
~Ice Beam
~Toxic
~Encore

Switches in on Vaporeon with absolutely no worry. May be healed, also. HP Electric does nothing. Quag (If Vaporeon stays in, which it won't) will then proceed to poison you/ encore whatever.

Oh, also, Choop, your avatar is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen while on this forum. Major kudos. Chuck :heart:
 
@Quag:

Garchomp @ Expert Belt
Mild, Sand Veil
196 Sa, 252 At, 58 Hp
~Earthquake
~Draco Meteor
~HP Grass
~Fire Blast

Ahahahahahaah! I went out of my way for delicous irony. Ice Beam cannot OHKO me, while HP Grass OHKOs you (both damage calc'd :D). The rest is just for fun. No speed 'cause I'm crazy like that.
 
To Garchomp:

Cresselia @ Lefties
Bold@ 252/0/110/0/148/0
Ice Beam
Rest
Sleep Talk
Psychic

Is immune to EQ, can take any special attack thrown at it, and kills with Ice Beam.
 
Tyranitar@Leftovers
Adamant 252Atk, 252 Spd , 6 SpD
Dragon Dance
Crunch
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Comes in against Ice Beam taking little damage thanks to SpD boost from SandStorm
immune to Psychic
When Cresselia rests, Tyranitar can Dragon Dance, then kill Cresseliawith Rock Slide and Crunch.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Adamant
72 HP, 108 DEF, 76 Atk, 252 Spd
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Bullet Punch
Explosion

Comes in on anything. Outspeeds if it didn't dragon dance and if it did can survive an Earthquake all the time. Always OHKO's even with only 76 EV's.

Swampert
Relaxed
@Leftovers
[Mixpert EVs]
-Hydro Pump
-Avalanche
-Earthquake
-Roar

Walls stone edge, doesn't worry too much about earthquake. Smacks you with Hydro Pump in particular. Stomps all over all your sand-stream team mates aside from Cradily as well.
 
To Gliscor:

Claydol @ Lefties
Bold@ 252/0/114/144/0/0
Earth Power
Ice Beam
Rapid Spin
Reflect

Comes in on anything, and kills with Ice Beam. Earthquake immunity helps here.

Um...

Glaceon @ Choice Specs
Modest@ 6/0/0/252/0/252
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball
HP Fighting
Water Pulse

It's faster than claydol with STAB Ice Beam and no SDef Claydol it's a OHKO.

Hitmontop @ Focus Sash

Bullet Punch
Close Combat

Mach Punch first turn then activate focus sash (or not just at least 50% hit). Close Combat also but thats overkill.

Ariados @Leftovers
EVs: 252 Def / 88 HPs / 168 Spd
Trait: Insomnia
Nature: Impish
~Agility
~Spider-Web
~Baton Pass
~Nightshade

Traps with Spider-Web, then Agilities and Baton Passes to sweeper, or kill with Nightshade.
Takes almost nothing from Close Combat (13-16%), or Mach Punch. Brushes off Fake Out, and Bullet Punch does a steady 12-14% damage.

Ok here's a sort of hard counter if not expected to some pokemon but not the hitmontop i mentioned so dont mention him.

Rattata/Raticate @ Focus Sash
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SPD
Trait: Guts
Nature: Jolly
~Endeavor
~Quick Attack
~Super Fang
~Sucker Punch

Doesn't really matter the level or if it's a Raticate it will still own ariados since its immune to night shade.

Frosslass @ Choice Specs
Timid
EVs: 10 HP / 252 SAtk / 248 SPD
Snow Cloak
IVs: 31/31/30/30/30/30
~Shadow Ball
~Ice Beam
~Thunder Bolt
~Hidden Power Fighting

More information than it is needed but whatever that's my Frosslass I hate that it has to be 30 in speed in IVs. It can take a shadow punch and retaliate with 2 shadow balls at 388 SAtk thanks to Choice Specs for a 2HKO.
 
@Frosslass

Bronzong@Life Orb
Levitate
Brave
252 HP/252 Atk/4 SpDef
-Trick Room
-Gyro Ball
-Hypnosis
-Explosion

Trick rooms, gryo balls for OHKO, and sleeps/explodes the next poke.
 
Just a note on the Frolass.. it's not really a counter since it can't switch into Shadowpunch which will rack up 62.54% - 73.85%

Shadow Ball with Timid will do 72.11% - 84.69%, but you'll be KOed if you switched into Shadow Punch to begin with. And, just for arguments sake, you can't OHKO with Modest either.

Were not counting switch ins just count it as a one on one and no other pokemon to switch to and I even mentioned it was a 2HKO and Froslass has to eat a shadow punch to KO dusknoir and is still a counter even if it doesn't OHKO its the counter game not the OHKO game.
