............Counter..........
Munchies (Kyurem-Black) @ Leftovers
Ability: Teravolt
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
- Fusion Bolt
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
- Earth Power
Simple and effective Special Attacking tank that resists Water and returns nice damage to Starmie. What we have here is a sub Tank varient of Kyurem-Black that serves many purposes such as freely subbing on status users such as slowbro, taking down Heatran, Mega-Venusaur, and even working as a Rotom-Wash counter with its Substitute/Earth Power duo set. Despite the lack of speed, the meta isn't hard on it with slower Pokemon such as Landorus and Stealth Chomp more commonly seen. I've decided to max HP it so this Tank can live attacks from the much higher base sped mons while still having enough power to strike back with some STAB ice beams. All-in-All great Pokemon that works with most teams. Showtime for now is to counter Starmie! This thing eats up anything Starmie throws at it while recovering with lefties and returning a Super Effective Fusion Bolt. At times you can even sub on it to avoid getting scald burned and take on a lot more hits without your sub breaking. Just a clean hard counter that I've used many times.
