spiderweb is right Age of Kings, you're supposed to be able to take a hit from any of the moves (which includes stone edge in this example) and then OHKO the other pokemon while surviving. So I don't think that would serve to counter Heracross

@Snorlax:
Drifblim @ Focus Sash
Timid, Unburden
252 Speed, 252 Sa, 6 De
~Shadow Ball
~HP Fighting
~Destiny Bond
~Hypnosis
Since I already utterly wall your Lax, I focused on making it hard for the incoming Poke to counter me. It has 426 speed after activating it's sash, at which point it can Destiny Bond at will. It has the perfect attack combo of Ghost/Fight, and can Hypnosis the incoming switch.

Gengar@Life Orb
Timid Max Speed and SpeAttack
Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
HP Fight/HP Ice/T-Bolt
Outspeeds Drift. Hypnosis you and KO's with Shadow Ball.
you can't put multiple attacks here since it would be impossible to counter...so i'm assuming you have the first one HP fighting.
Noctowl @ Expert Belt
Insomnia
Modest 252 hp 252 atk
- roost
- air slash
- shadow ball
- hp fire
immune to sleep and shadow ball, neutral to focus blast and Hp fighting. can roost damage and kill with shadow ball.
Aerodactyl@C-Band
Jolly+MAx Speed and Attack
Stone Edge
Ice Fang
Eq
Crunch
Outspeeds Noct and KO's with SE.
How does that Gengar counter my Drifblim at all? Sure, it's immune to HP Fight, but it's going to take STAB SE Shadow Ball from 279 Sa, doing 100.00% - 117.56% vs your Gengar. =\ I also have Hypnosis on it, so I could disable you. Then, there's my Focus Sash, which allows me three chances to attack you, one on the switch-in, one when you activate the Sash, and the next turn, when I horribly outspeed you through unburden. You have no mention of Destiny Bond, either, which can easily take you down. That was a pretty bad counter...
But assuming that my Drifblim was somehow taken down...
@Aerodactyl:
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Impish, 252 Sd, 129 At, 129 Hp
~Earthquake
~Ice Fang
~Slack Off

Poliwrath@Salac Berry
Water Absorb
Jolly Max Speed and Attack+4HP
Sub/WaterFall
Belly Drum
Close Combat
EQ
Renders you vunerable and without offense via Water Absorb. Belly Drum will max Attack and give the OHKO/2HKO/3HKO I need.
Those moves would only apply if you were faster. Seeing as Gar runs Max Speed, he shoud outrun you and disable you first. You're vunerable while asleep, so I'd 2HKO you while you were asleep. To ensure I survive, I'll swap my Life ORb for FS, so even if you do wake up, I'll survive. I'll also throw Shadow Sneak (It's horrible on Gar, but if you're at 1 HP, it should work) in.
For that Hippowdon.
Magnezone@Life Orb
Timid Max Speed and SpeAttack
Magnet Rise
HpIce
TBolt
Filler
Outspeeds Hippo and MR to become immune to EQ. Resists Ice Fang and can score SF's with HPIce.
@paperplane: The counter game works with you switcing in first, requiring you to take any hit I have on my Pokemon. Gengar cannot survive Shadow Ball. If he has Focus Sash, he gets one hit on me, which I survive with my own Sash, and then Shadow Ball you again. From there on out, my unburden ability will be activated, giving me much higher speed than Gengar. I could alternately punish you with Destiny Bond, or disable you with Hypnosis.
And as your Magnezone has to switch in on my Hippo, he is not a counter, being easily OHKO'd by my Earthquake.

This is getting ridiculous, IMO.
