Air Slash
Overheat
HP Ground
Dragon Pulse
Wood Hammer Takes minimum at Charizard and Guarenteed OHKO with Overheat.
That is not a counter. Infernape dislikes a strong Thunderbolt very much, particularly after its -Special Defense nature, and would rather be dead than paralyzed by Thunder Wave.

252 HP / 252 Def / 6 HP
Impish
Power Whip
Leech Seed
Protect
Knock Off
Switches in on anything for minimal damage, KO's with Power Whip

Impractical set, but counters Tangrowth. Neutral to Power Whip, has Sleep Talk for Sleep Powder (if you had it), immune to Leech Seed, and if you Knock Off you get a Sticky Barb.
Edit: Got beaten to it. So I'll just keep the game going.

Adamant@ 140/252/16/0/100/0

Impractical physical Houndoom set. (not doing Mewtwo counter as it is objectionable to me to counter my favorite Pokemon. xD)
Houndoom @ Choice Band
Flash Fire-Adamant
252 Attack/252 Speed/6 SD
Punishment
Fire Fang
Thunder Fang
Return
Houndoom has little physical options, but can switch into either of Hypno's moves, unaffected by LS, and have the comedy of its life while Hypno NPs and Punishment's power goes up.
Extremely, extremely novelty, however.
@ Gardevoir
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Crunch / Pursuit
- Stone Edge
Subs up while Gardevoir tries to WoW and then Crunches Gardevoir to hell. Tyranitar is not affected by Psychic and Thunderbolt will do crap in Sandstorm. Pursuit can also be used to send it to hell.
