Something WIP

Haxorus

No crit

You hope they don't flinch you 3 times in a row while you spam Counter.
Chance of 3 flinches in a row: 0.3^3
Then if that unfortunately occured you click Blizzard + Icy Wind and hope they miss and you don't miss / fish for freeze hax
Chance you win after they flinch you three times: WIP but worse than 0.1
Chance you win: Between 1 - 0.9 * 0.3^3 and 1 - 0.3^3

With crits

1/24 CC crit chance
Chance you win: 23/24

Heatran

No crit

They hope you miss money of the moves while they ID twice into Body Press.
Chance you win: 0.95 * 0.7^2

With crits

Now they try to fish for crits by BPressing 3 times in a row.
Chance you win: 0.95 * 0.7^2 * (23/24)^2

Tapu Bulu

No hax

Need to figure out optimal sequence for both sides before I can do this.
The sequence that convinces me this breaks Tapu Bulu:
Alternate between Icy Wind and Blizzard until you get Disabled, then spam the move that is not Disabled.

No crit

Considering Freeze chance here

With crits

Physical Togekiss

Set

Togekiss @ Expert Belt
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 184 Atk / 108 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Play Rough
- Drain Punch
- Dual Wingbeat
- Encore

Calcs

184 Atk Expert Belt Hustle Togekiss Drain Punch vs. 40 HP / 252 Def Heatran: 115-137 (34.5 - 41.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
The effect of Drain Punch recovery can be briefly modeled as giving Togekiss 57 extra HP by giving Togekiss 228 HP EVs (in reality more HP is needed to compensate increased trapping damage as max HP increases)
0+ SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. 228 HP / 0 SpD Togekiss: 132-156 (35.8 - 42.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after trapping damage

184 Atk Expert Belt Hustle Togekiss Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. +1 232 HP / 0 Def Tapu Bulu: 144-172 (42.4 - 50.7%) -- approx. 3HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
92+ Atk Tapu Bulu Wood Hammer vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Togekiss in Grassy Terrain: 129-153 (41.4 - 49.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

252+ Atk Haxorus Rock Slide vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Togekiss: 206-244 (66.2 - 78.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
184 Atk Expert Belt Hustle Togekiss Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Haxorus: 295-348 (100.6 - 118.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Notes

• You use the Encore if Heatran uses Iron Defense or if Tapu Bulu uses Disable
• Would probably be 1000% times more consistent if the Togekiss was special

Chandelure
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA
Rash Nature
- Flamethrower
- Mystical Fire
- Thief
- Hyper Beam

Heatran

Do whatever you want, he can't hurt you.

Haxorus

Thief then Hyper Beam. You outspeed by one point after stealing its scarf, and Hyper Beam has an 87.5% chance of finishing it off after a min roll Thief.

252+ Atk Haxorus Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Chandelure: 224-264 (85.4 - 100.7%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
0 Atk Chandelure Thief vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Haxorus: 30-36 (10.2 - 12.2%) -- possible 9HKO
252+ SpA Chandelure Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Haxorus: 259-305 (88.3 - 104%) -- 25% chance to OHKO

Tapu Bulu

Alternate Flamethrower and Mystical Fire; it will die as soon as it clicks anything but Substitute.

92+ Atk Tapu Bulu Wood Hammer vs. 4 HP / 252 Def Chandelure in Grassy Terrain: 105-124 (40 - 47.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
252+ SpA Chandelure Flamethrower vs. 232 HP / 44 SpD Tapu Bulu: 350-414 (103.2 - 122.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Chandelure Mystical Fire vs. 232 HP / 44 SpD Tapu Bulu: 290-344 (85.5 - 101.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

Gourgeist-Small @ Mental Herb
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 164 HP / 48 Def / 252 SpA / 44 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Skill Swap
- Disable
- Synthesis
- Flamethrower
EDIT: Mental Herb to avoid losing to Disable Bulu, 164 HP / 48 Def for maximum defense against Hax and Bulu

Heatran

44 Spe EVs allows you to outspeed and Skill Swap
With Flash Fire, you're immune to both of Heatran's attacks
Heatran doesn't have Flash Fire anymore, so you can kill it with Flamethrowers

Haxorus

252+ Atk Haxorus Outrage vs. 164 HP / 48 Def Gourgeist-Small: 192-226 (65.7 - 77.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Click Disable to force it to Struggle
252+ Atk Haxorus Struggle vs. 164 HP / 48 Def Gourgeist-Small: 54-64 (18.4 - 21.9%) -- possible 5HKO

Spam Synthesis to get out of crit range, then use 1 Flamethrower to make sure Haxorus dies before Disable wears off
Haxorus only wins if it crits Outrage
252+ Atk Haxorus Outrage vs. 164 HP / 48 Def Gourgeist-Small on a critical hit: 288-339 (98.6 - 116%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Tapu Bulu

Outspeed and hit with a Flamethrower
252+ SpA Gourgeist-Small Flamethrower vs. 232 HP / 44 SpD Tapu Bulu: 130-154 (38.3 - 45.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery

Bulu uses Disable to consume your Mental Herb
You use Disable to prevent Bulu from Disabling again
From there, you live 2 Wood Hammers and finish Bulu off with 2 more Flamethrowers
92+ Atk Tapu Bulu Wood Hammer vs. 164 HP / 48 Def Gourgeist-Small in Grassy Terrain: 101-119 (34.5 - 40.7%) -- 55.3% chance to 3HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery

The most likely way for Bulu to win is a double crit from Wood Hammer
