@firewater's Floatzel:
Quagsire@Leftovers
Impish 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDef
~Earthquake
~Ice Punch
~Sleep Talk
~Rest
It is immune to Waterfall because of Water Absorb and takes little from Crunch or Ice Fang thanks to good HP and Defense. It proceeds to wait Floatzel out or Earthquake it.

Lanturn @ Lum Berry

Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave
Really, not much to explain here. STAB T-bolt, Volt Absorb, Lum Berry to absorb Toxic. Thunder Wave cripples, Surf and Ice Beam are there for coverage and nothing else.
Too lazy to post nature and spread, sorry. xD The last person didn't, so.
Mantine @ Leftovers
252 HP 252 Sp Def 6 Spd
Toxic
HP Grass
Mud Sport
Surf
can't hurt it at all. use mud sport first turn in case opponent switches to somehting with an electric attack. follow up with toxic to slowly wear down hp. Pound on them with HP grass, doing 36-42%. combined with toxic, they will soon be dead. Surf for type coverage.

Mismaguis@Lefties
Timid, 172 HP / 252 Speed /84 spdef
- Shadow Ball
- HP Fight
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
Immune to EQ/Explosion, sub makes it immune to toxic. Can take 1 Overheat and after 1 CM and 1 Overheat, Overheat no longer breaks subs, allowing me to CM up and kill you with Shadow Ball.

@Mismagius
Spiritomb @ Leftovers
Careful@ 252/112/0/0/144/0
Sucker Punch
Pursuit
Taunt
Pain Split
Taunts all attempts to CM or Sub, and Sucker Punches if you try to attack, Pursuit if you try to switch out, and either one will happen, due to Taunt.

With Hariyama's HUGE Hp, he can just pain split off it like no tomorrow. Then sucker punch once you're down to a tiny bit of hp. =\
Fixed due to forgetting about Pain Split. Toxics on the switch before Taunt, THEN wears you down. Not the best counter, but can still beat him 1 on 1
@Hariyama: Another instance where a Ghost/Steel Banette evo would be awesome. =D
Nidoking @ Leftovers
Naughty, 128 At 128 Sa 252 Hp (what does Nido run, anyway?)
~Earthquake
~Arial Ace
~Thunderbolt
~Ice Beam
Edit: Crap, it only does about 25% with AA, so it's not an awesome counter.
How about this?
Weezing @ Leftovers
Bold, 252 Hp & De, 6 Sa
~Pain Split
~FLamethrower
~Thunderbolt
~WoW

If Hariyama has guts,wow will maybe take you down with CH hits of Stone Edge(and you'll only scratch him with the attacks).But it can counter,so:
Camerupt@Focus Sash
252atk/252sp.atk/6hp
Quiet
Fire Blast
Earthquake
Earth Power
Stone Edge
lols at all attacks weezing does.Can't be WoW,immune to Thunderbolt,takes lol damage from Flamethrower.Probably OHKO with Fire Blast.Focus Sash for the counters.
@Cradily
Skarmory @ Leftovers
252 hp/252 def/6 atk (impish)
-Taunt
-Steel Wing
-Subsitute
-Whirlwind
Taunts Confuse ray/recover and resists 'slide, steelwing is SE, stab, and lowers defence to help beat it quicker.

Cant switch into whirlwind, or on a sub as WW will ko it. Is that a counter by this games definition?
Yes, that is a counter. Whirlwind simply forces it to switch out; Magnezone can just switch right back in without sustaining any damage providing Stealth Rock/Spikes are absent, and wait out Whirlwind's PP. If you say Magnezone can't switch into Whirlwind, what can? lol Cradily or Octillery?
@Kingdrom's Magnezone:
Lanturn@Leftovers
Modest 252 HP / 252 SpAtk / 4 SpDef
~Surf
~Thunderbolt
~Ice Beam
~Rest
Immune to Thunderbolt due to Volt Absorb and takes very, very little from HP Ice. It outdamages HP Ice with Surf.

Ape takes Damage: 73.38% - 86.35% from Thunderbolt, not a counter.
Also Ape's CC or Blitz Flare only does Damage: 79.94% - 93.90% to that Magnezone, even if ape is faster, its dead once it switches in.
