I have no shame.
 
Does tying really count as winning? For this thread that is? I mean, I'm not going to say that Staraptor won't KO Hariyama 100% of the time, but... Staraptor kinda also KOs itself 100% of the time if Hariyama is using its strongest move on the switch in, which we would assume it would.

That said, you totally should have made that first Brave Bird calc against -1 Def for even more awesome numbers.
 
Technically the rules just say that you need to counter and beat the opposing Pokemon, which I did (recoil comes last). Not that you need to survive.

If spark wants to dispute this they can go ahead. It's just a bit lame using something that isn't Staraptor.
