Avalugg

252+ Def burned Avalugg Body Press vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Slaking: 125-148 (28.3 - 33.5%) -- 0.2% chance to 3HKO

[thethreepercent]

Stunky!

Stunky @ Eviolite
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 40 HP / 60 SpA / 252 SpD / 76 Spe
Timid Nature
EVs: 4 HP / 60 SpA / 196 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt
- Foul Play
- Acid Spray
- Flamethrower

80 248 EVs to spare.
EDIT: gave an Eviolite to Stunky to turn +1 Shadow Ball into a 3HKO because as it turns out the Spectrier has a Sitrus Berry that I overlooked while trying to use Knock Off sets. Oops!

Avalugg

60 SpA Stunky Acid Spray vs. 252 HP / 0- SpD Avalugg: 67-79 (17 - 20%) -- possible 5HKO

252+ Def Avalugg Body Press vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Stunky: 151-178 (56.3 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

60 SpA Stunky Flamethrower vs. -2 252 HP / 0- SpD Avalugg: 398-470 (101 - 119.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Stunky can use Acid Spray then Flamethrower. If Recover is used on the first turn, Stunky can use Foul Play to stall Recover PP and ensure Avalugg does not regain Sturdy's effect.

Hoopa-U

12 Atk Hoopa-Unbound Drain Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Stunky: 99-117 (36.9 - 43.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

12 Atk Stunky Foul Play vs. 216 HP / 0 Def Hoopa-Unbound: 235-277 (66.1 - 78%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Stunky can outspeed survive two hits and 2HKO, even after Drain Punch heals Hoopa (14 - 16.6% recovered ).

Spectrier

0 SpA Spectrier Shadow Ball vs. 4 HP / 196+ SpD Eviolite Stunky: 51-60 (19 - 22.3%) -- possible 5HKO
(if Calm Mind was used turn 1)
+1 0 SpA Spectrier Shadow Ball vs. 4 HP / 196+ SpD Eviolite Stunky: 76-90 (28.3 - 33.5%) -- 0.2% chance to 3HKO

0- Atk Stunky Foul Play vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Spectrier: 198-234 (49.3 - 58.3%) -- 96.5% chance to 2HKO

Foul Play is a 3HKO after Sitrus Berry, which I previously overlooked.
Using Taunt turn 1 means that Spectrier is forced into using Shadow Ball. Spectrier gets to use Shadow Ball three four times (or +1 Shadow Ball twice three times) before fainting by clicking Shadow Ball or Substitute turn 1, but itemless Stunky prevails.

 

[ULTRAV01D]

0- Atk Stunky Foul Play vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Spectrier: 198-234 (49.3 - 58.3%) -- 96.5% chance to 2HKO

armaldlothearmaldo was very kind to give us his version of this very popular team!

Since this will be certain to come up. Quick reminder on rule 6 of countering: 50/50s between two Pokemon means that the featured team does indeed have a way to counter it, and should not count as "countering." However, because Custap berry is apart of the team, it will be allowed for counters.

 

[sufys]

Ursaluna @ Choice Band
Ability: Unnerve
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature

You just click EQ twice against Metagross, the defense and hp evs are just to minimize the odds a crit will kill you here.

252+ Atk Protosynthesis Sandy Shocks Supercell Slam vs. 252 HP / 140 Def Primarina: 368-434 (101 - 119.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

alternatively, you can leech seed for 12.5%
252+ Def Avalugg Body Press vs. 32 HP / 252 Def Meowscarada: 248-292 (82.3 - 97%) -- guaranteed 2HKO <-dark Meowscarada
44 SpA Expert Belt Meowscarada Power Gem vs. 252 HP / 0- SpD Avalugg: 331-391 (84 - 99.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Tossing Bouqets vs Tossing Trash

Again assuming it should be 0IVs Atk:
0- Atk Expert Belt Meowscarada Foul Play vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Spectrier: 190-226 (47.3 - 56.3%) -- 82% chance to 2HKO
0- Atk Expert Belt Meowscarada Foul Play vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Spectrier: 238-281 (59.3 - 70%) -- guaranteed 2HKO <- huge difference if 31 atk

Whimsicott @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Prankster

EVs: 228 HP / 252 Def
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Cotton Guard

instruction manual

Versus Gouging Fire Cotton Guard Turn 1 on the Flare Blitz.

252+ Atk Protosynthesis Gouging Fire Flare Blitz vs. +3 228 HP / 252+ Def Whimsicott: 168-198 (52.8 - 62.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

You live a subsequent Flare Blitz because of Sitrus Berry. On turn 2 you just Leech Seed and thereafter Protect -> Substitute ad infinitum.


versus prim you live anything, it's not Encore or anything so winning vs it is pretty trivial, just leech -> protect -> sub until you win

meta is weaker than gouging so it's the same process.

196+ Atk Metagross Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. +3 228 HP / 252+ Def Whimsicott: 138-164 (43.3 - 51.5%) -- 7.8% chance to 2HKO

If they do 49 you should cotton guard turn two as they proc Sitrus (so that you don't lose to the 49->51 that avoids Sitrus) , then leech seed after and protect -> sub.

there's probably better ways to always win with whims, like running occa berry on this instead of sitrus but i thought it would be funnier this way
