- Snarl
- Foul Play

252 Atk Choice Band Mold Breaker Sawk Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 137-162 (45 - 53.2%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Choice Band Mold Breaker Sawk Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 134-158 (44 - 51.9%) -- 14.1% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Mold Breaker burned Sawk Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 67-79 (22 - 25.9%) -- 4.2% chance to 4HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Mold Breaker burned Sawk Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 68-81 (22.3 - 26.6%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

Personally, I always liked SpD Sableye better, with Taunt over Snarl, but that's just me. Anyways, you can switch in, be fat, and eventually Sawk will die to burn damage. If someone ever tells you that this isn't the most hilarious mon to use, they're lying.

naviathan.gif

Naviathan @ Leftovers
Ability: Heatproof
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Slack Off

Naviathan is immune to Sludge Bomb and doesn't take much from Scald or HP Fire, so it easily sets up and wins if it switches into any of these moves. Draco Meteor, on the other hand, hurts a lot, but Naviathan still tanks the hit and heals up with Slack Off and Leftovers, while each Draco Meteor gets progressively weaker due to the SpA drops. After two uses of Slack Off, Naviathan can safely set up Calm Mind and win with HP Ground (or by PP stalling Draco Meteor).

Your first calc is an Alakazam against another Alakazam. I'm not gonna count that as a check/counter because Psychic can 2hko, so no switching in, and focus blast OHKO's.
