[pogofish]

Simisear @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Grass Knot
- Substitute

Counter as Simisear can switch into Hex at least 4x, OHKOs with Fire Blast, and can reliably set up Sub/NP. Being able to switch into Wisp for free is a nice bonus.

calcs

252 SpA Simisear Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Froslass: 396-468 (115.4 - 136.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
0 SpA Froslass Hex (65 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Simisear: 84-100 (28.8 - 34.3%) -- 3.5% chance to 3HKO

Lycanroc @ Lycanium Z
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Drill Run
- Sucker Punch
- Swords Dance

Check. Lycanroc is faster at 355 and OHKO's with either Splintered Stormshards or 1 Stone Edge:

252 Atk Lycanroc Splintered Stormshards vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Froslass: 752-888 (219.2 - 258.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Lycanroc Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Froslass: 398-470 (116 - 137%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Lycanroc does have to beware of Will O and usually, if not 100% of the time, shouldn't switch in to Froslass at all!

 

[InoriIzumi]

Togedemaru @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Zing Zap
- U-turn
- Toxic

Check. It can't switch directly into froslass because burn, but it can revenge kill it. This scarf set is enough to take down offensive froslass, but it will requiere some residual damage to take on bulky froslass. Still, it threatens the mon.

 

[Taptricity]

Skunktank @ Black Sludge
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dark Pulse
- Defog
- Acid Spray
- Taunt

Special Skunktank as a nice counter to Froslass. It doesn’t give a shit about Wisp and effortlessly removes Spikes if it doesn’t get taunted. It heavily pressures Froslass with some 50/50s though with these guessing games.

 

[Sir Pin]

Persian-Alola @ Darkinium Z
Ability: Fur Coat
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Parting Shot
- Dark Pulse
- Thunderbolt

Counter. Outspeeds Froslass to get a Nasty Plot off before getting taunted, kills leftovers lass with +2 Dpulse and Colbur lass with +2 BHE. Hex only does around 35% even after Wisp.

Calcs

+2 252 SpA Persian-Alola Dark Pulse vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Froslass: 488-576 (142.2 - 167.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 SpA Persian-Alola Black Hole Eclipse (160 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Colbur Berry Froslass: 486-573 (141.6 - 167%) -- guaranteed OHKO
0 SpA Froslass Hex (65 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Persian-Alola: 42-49 (15.4 - 18%) -- possible 6HKO

 

[Jmash]

Eelektross @ Assault Vest
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off

Eelektross serves as a counter, absorbing a burn without much issue and hits hard with Flamethrower. It has the bulk to take Hex as well, and has the cute bonus of being immune to Spikes.

 

[Darkinium]

Combusken @ Fightinium Z / Firium Z
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power Electric
- Protect

Check. Can't switch in multiple times when accounting for SR and the fact that Froslass is still faster after a Speed Boost, but Combusken wins out when given a free switch.

The OP will be updated shortly.

Stoutland @ Choice Band
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Superpower
- Pursuit
- Facade

Voting starts Thursday!

 

[TTK]

Primeape @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Gunk Shot

Scarf Primeape works as a check to Stoutland, being able to outspeed and threaten it with a STAB super effective Close Combat. Not much else to it to be honest. Never switch in on a Stoutland, get in on a free switch like from a mesprit U-turn and it's checked.

 

[gum]

Bronzor @ Eviolite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 SpD
Bold Nature
- Psywave
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Rest

Bronzor is a nice counter. It can come in safely on Stoutland and set rocks since it tanks all of its hits pretty comfortably and Bronzor can use Rest if weakened.

[PILZ]

Regirock @ Chople Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Toxic

Regirock works as a counter, probably the main switch in to Stout, with Chople Berry for switch safe in at least 1 Superpower. But also it can check many times if scouting move with protect, with a Fighting resist in the team.

252+ Atk Choice Band Stoutland Superpower vs. 252 HP / 56+ Def Chople Berry Regirock: 91-108 (25 - 29.6%)
252+ Atk Choice Band Stoutland Return vs. 252 HP / 56+ Def Regirock: 58-69 (15.9 - 18.9%)
-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Stoutland Superpower vs. 252 HP / 56+ Def Regirock: 124-146 (34 - 40.1%)

 

[Abejas]

Gurdurr @ Eviolite
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 Def
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Bulk Up
- Knock Off

Gurdurr is a solid check to Stoutland, being able to always take 2 banded frustrations at full hp and 2hkoing it with the combination of Drain Punch into Mach Punch.

calcs

252+ Atk Choice Band Stoutland Return vs. 252 HP / 192 Def Eviolite Gurdurr: 153-180 (40.9 - 48.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
64+ Atk Gurdurr Drain Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Stoutland: 216-254 (69.4 - 81.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
64+ Atk Gurdurr Mach Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Stoutland: 116-138 (37.2 - 44.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
