Emboar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Reckless
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Superpower
- Wild Charge
- Toxic

Checking Vikavolt offensively is probably one of the easier ways to deal with this behemoth of a pokemon. Looking for defensive answers almost led me to post something like Spdef Camerupt but it's probably better to post something viable and reliable in the current meta. Emboar can switch in on a Bug Buzz relatively safely and OHKO back with Flare Blitz. Pressuring Vikavolt with Stealth Rock while forcing it out with doubles to Emboar definitely works.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Emboar: 93-109 (25.7 - 30.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Energy Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Emboar: 124-146 (34.3 - 40.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
 


Abomasnow @ Leftovers
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Synthesis
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball / Giga Drain
- Toxic

Switches in on any Vikavolt's attack besides the non-existent HP Fire, even with rocks up. From there it can chip stuff with its decent STAB combo or heal off the damage, similarly to Vileplume. Leech Seed can also find its place on the set, but I like Toxic more for wearing down fat stuff and Abomasnow without one of its STABs is a crime. Synthesis is a must to heal off the potential hazard damage.

Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. Soundproof Abomasnow: 0-0 (0 - 0%) -- aim for the horn next time
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Abomasnow: 105-124 (27.4 - 32.3%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Energy Ball vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Abomasnow: 70-83 (18.2 - 21.6%) -- possible 5HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Volt Switch vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Abomasnow: 81-96 (21.1 - 25%) -- 0% chance to 4HKO

8 SpA Abomasnow Ice Beam vs. 212 HP / 0 SpD Vikavolt: 117-138 (33.6 - 39.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Although Virizion doesn't enjoy taking a Specs Bug Buzz from Vikavolt, it can take a hit from every other move decently well and set-up a SD on the switch or blow Vikavolt with Continental Crush.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Virizion: 211-249 (65.3 - 77%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Virizion: 105-124 (32.5 - 38.3%) -- 98.4% chance to 3HKO

252 Atk Virizion Continental Crush (180 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Vikavolt: 334-394 (113.2 - 133.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Sneasel comes in every unboosted move from full bar Sub and DBond and gets basically a free kill, since Choice Band Pursuit has a 50% chance to OHKO even if Mismagius doesn't switch.

(My) Standard spread. This set relies mostly on mind games and can't really safely switch in although it works for me most of the time as it acts a a revenge killer and a trapper at the same time, putting a lot of pressure in Missy and does just enough to prevent it from sweeping

+2 Magius can't even 3HKO Brav reliably, while uninvested Brave Bird threatens to OHKO. Not to mention Braviary has recovery to help outlast Mismagius. If Mismagius threatens Destiny Bond, play mindgames with SubRoost.

Houndoom is immune or resistant to all of Sigilyph's moves bar Dazzling Gleam (which has no chance to 2HKO anyways), and cleanly OHKOes with Dark Pulse. Houndoom can also Pursuit trap Sigilyph on the switch, and leave it with 15% HP at best.

Sneasel is faster than Sigilyph and forces it out with both STABs. Sneasel also has has the option of trapping Sigilyph with Pursuit. That said, it needs to be wary of the mindgame that comes with this, as if Sneasel uses Pursuit and Sigilyph stays in to take the hit it could result in Sneasel being chunked by Heat Wave.

Vanilluxe is faster than sigilyph thanks to the scarf set; that allows Vanilluxe to hit hard with Blizzard, and it can't miss because of Snow Warning. It has to be careful switching in though, since Sigilyph hits do a lot, and Vanilluxe can't trap it like Sneasel or Houndoom.

Ability: Aftermath

Adamant Nature

Skuntank is a check to Haunter. It can come in on both of Haunter's STAB moves and Pursuit trap it relatively easily. LO Haunter cannot 2HKO Skuntank unless it's using HP Ground which isn't very common. Taunt can be used to dodge a Destiny Bond if need be.

Sneasel is faster than Haunter and OHKOs it with an unboosted Pursuit, meaning that it can remove it without needing to mindgame it, and it doesn’t risk being caught by a last-ditch DBond like is the case with slower Pursuit users like Skuntank and Absol. That said, it can’t come in on Haunter directly because it really doesn’t appreciate taking a Sludge Wave.

Hariyama can handle Haunter decently well, being able to even not get 2HKOed by LO Dazzling Gleam. Hariyama must be careful with Destiny Bond mindgames, but you can make use of BP, which can get rid of Haunter if you BP two times and get decent rolls, beating Haunter 1v1 after 2 LO recoils or Stealth Rocks + LO recoil.

spdef resttalk malamar is a check to haunter, as it avoids the 2hko from both of haunter's stab attacks, giving it plenty chance to ohko it with a stab knock off. however dazzling gleam picks up the 2hko on malamar, so be weary if when you switch in against haunter.
