Reserving sneasel


Sneasel @ Life Orb
Ability: Pickpocket
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Icicle Crash
- Ice Shard
- Low Kick

Sneasel can threaten both Delphox and Flygon since it outspeeds and OHKOs both of them with its STAB moves (Knock Off against Delphox and Ice Shard against Flygon). Sneasel's biggest issue is that it can't switch in to most of their attacks without being OHKOd itself or taking a large amount of damage (it can switch in on Delphox's Psyshock and unboosted Grass Knot, though).

252 SpA Life Orb Delphox Grass Knot (60 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Sneasel: 99-117 (39.4 - 46.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

252 Atk Life Orb Sneasel Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Delphox: 437-515 (150.1 - 176.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 Atk Life Orb Sneasel Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Flygon: 333-395 (110.6 - 131.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Samurott @ Life Orb
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest / Rash Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot
- Taunt / Aqua Jet

Despite not being able to switch in and having below average bulk, Samurott is still a big threat to this core. Samurott can tank one Draco Meteor from Flygon and OHKO with Ice Beam in return. It can also tank one Grass Knot from Delphox and OHKO back with Hydro Pump.

252+ SpA Life Orb Samurott Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Flygon: 588-697 (195.3 - 231.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Samurott Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Delphox: 447-530 (153.6 - 182.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Meloetta @ Life Orb
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Return
- Knock Off
- Relic Song
- Close Combat

To be honest any meloetta set is really threatening to the core in question but gotta post a fun meloetta set that gets the job done just like the sub cm and other sets.

Thanks to meloetta gargantuous special bulk even uninvested it can easily switch into flygon attacks since earth power just 3hko and takes a draco meteor really well and it can take switch on most of delphox attacks besides fire blast. The point is that meloetta can relic song into either of the mons in the core, proceed to outspeed them on its pirouette forme and kill them both really easily. A really huge threat to this core. Meloetta in general is.

252 SpA Life Orb Flygon Earth Power vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Meloetta: 113-134 (33.1 - 39.2%) -- 99.9% chance to 3HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Flygon Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Meloetta: 161-191 (47.2 - 56%) -- 80.9% chance to 2HKO

252 SpA Life Orb Delphox Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Meloetta: 173-204 (50.7 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Meloetta Pirouette destroys:

252 Atk Life Orb Meloetta Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Delphox: 281-331 (96.5 - 113.7%) -- 75% chance to OHKO

252 Atk Life Orb Meloetta Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Flygon: 304-359 (100.9 - 119.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
 
Durant @ Life Orb
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- X-Scissor
- Superpower
- Thunder Fang / Hone Claws

Both just die to X-Scissors pretty much tho Durant can't switch in.
252 Atk Life Orb Hustle Durant Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Flygon: 270-320 (89.7 - 106.3%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Life Orb Hustle Durant X-Scissor vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Delphox: 294-347 (101 - 119.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Piloswine @ Eviolite
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Atk / 196 SpD
Adamant Nature

The PU Special Piloswine with some SDef is also great vs those

252 SpA Life Orb Delphox Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 196 SpD Eviolite Thick Fat Piloswine: 166-198 (41 - 49%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Jolteon @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Grass
- Volt Switch

LO Jolteon is a pretty cool partner to this core. Thanks to both solid speed and amazing coverage, Jolteon is an excellent late-game cleaner to the core. Flygon keeps Jolteon from being worn down by removing hazards with Defog, meanwhile, Delphox can eliminate Grass and bulky Steel types that Jolteon struggles against. In return, Joleon eliminates threats to the core, including Alomomola.

AzqaOk sorry for the lack of activity for a few days been busy but I'm back on track now n_n:

Let's go a little more defensive this week

You may now post threats to this core

Deadline: September 22
 
Well, since it's in one of the other discussion threads:

Samurott @ Life Orb
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Taunt
- Grass Knot
- Ice Beam
- Hydro Pump

Samurott can come in all of those mons at least once, with mega-lix's eq and tomb's and mola's status being the best way to deal with it, and threaten to kill stuff. Mola is the only one that can avoid the 2hko but with taunt it's not doing anything back and tomb takes way too much and does way too little with sucker punch.

52 Atk Mega Steelix Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Samurott: 156-184 (47.1 - 55.5%) -- 75.8% chance to 2HKO
252+ Atk Spiritomb Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Samurott: 129-153 (38.9 - 46.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO


252+ SpA Life Orb Samurott Hydro Pump vs. 200 HP / 0 SpD Spiritomb: 211-250 (72.5 - 85.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Samurott Grass Knot (60 BP) vs. 120 HP / 252 SpD Alomomola: 205-244 (40.9 - 48.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery


Not a full counter to the core but definitely a very potent threat. As is Amoonguss, for example, being able to status all of those and then slowly giga drain their lives away.

Tangrowth @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 112 HP / 252 SpA / 144 Spe
Modest Nature
- Sleep Powder / Knock Off
- Leaf Storm
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Bomb / Hidden Power Fire

Considering this core has no resistance to Leaf Storm, Offensive Tangrowth is an absolutely massive threat. Tangrowth's great physical bulk allows it to switch into all three of Mega Steelix, Alomomola, and Spiritomb pretty easily. From there, this Tangrowth can outspeed and absolutely massacre any of the three Pokemon on this core with either Leaf Storm or Focus Blast, cleanly 2HKOing all three of them at absolute worst even if they have taken no prior damage. If that wasn't bad enough, Tangrowth also has access to Sleep Powder, which it can use to cripple one of the the members of the core (as well as potential switch ins that might be paired with it that aren't immune to Sleep Powder) essentially for free. Last but not least, Tangrowth's Regenerator ability lets it heal off at least some of the damage it may have taken on the switch in just by switching back out once its work is done, making it especially hard to get rid of compared to other threats to this core.

52 Atk Mega Steelix Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Tangrowth: 135-160 (36.5 - 43.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

252+ Atk Black Glasses Spiritomb Sucker Punch vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Tangrowth: 112-133 (30.3 - 36%) -- 46.5% chance to 3HKO

252+ Atk Black Glasses Spiritomb Pursuit vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Tangrowth: 57-67 (15.4 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO

252+ Atk Spiritomb Shadow Sneak vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Tangrowth: 48-57 (13 - 15.4%) -- possible 7HKO

0 Atk Alomomola Waterfall vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Tangrowth: 28-33 (7.5 - 8.9%) -- possibly the worst move ever


252+ SpA Life Orb Tangrowth Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 200+ SpD Mega Steelix: 260-307 (73.4 - 86.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Tangrowth Leaf Storm vs. 252 HP / 200+ SpD Mega Steelix: 211-250 (59.6 - 70.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Tangrowth Leaf Storm vs. 120 HP / 252+ SpD Alomomola: 616-725 (122.9 - 144.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Tangrowth Leaf Storm vs. 200 HP / 0 SpD Spiritomb: 253-298 (86.9 - 102.4%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

all 3 Pokemon can also be put to Sleep with Sleep Powder


Overall, Tangrowth looks like an extremely annoying Pokemon for this core to deal with, it can switch in pretty reliably, blast holes in the core just by clicking one move, and can recover off any damage taken while switching in quite easily because of Regenerator, allowing it to survive to be able to do this the entire game, even if it gets hit by a stray Toxic or Will-O-Wisp.

Reserving Virizion

Virizion @ Lum Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Leaf Blade
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge

Having used a variation on that core quite a bit, I can tell you that Virizion is a nightmare for it. At +2, it can often sweep this core. You'd have to really apply pressure with status or a well predicted switch into Spiritomb.

+2 252 Atk Virizion Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Mega Steelix: 290-344 (81.9 - 97.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 252 Atk Virizion Leaf Blade vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Mega Steelix: 109-129 (30.7 - 36.4%) -- 54.3% chance to 3HKO
+2 252 Atk Virizion Leaf Blade vs. 120 HP / 136 Def Alomomola: 470-554 (93.8 - 110.5%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
+2 252 Atk Virizion Leaf Blade vs. 200 HP / 0 Def Spiritomb: 214-253 (73.5 - 86.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

52 Atk Mega Steelix Heavy Slam (80 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Virizion: 144-169 (44.4 - 52.1%) -- 15.2% chance to 2HKO
252+ Atk Black Glasses Spiritomb Sucker Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Virizion: 89-105 (27.4 - 32.4%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252+ Atk Spiritomb Shadow Sneak vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Virizion: 76-90 (23.4 - 27.7%) -- 76.2% chance to 4HKO
0 SpA Alomomola Scald vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Virizion: 17-21 (5.2 - 6.4%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Scrafty @ Chople Berry
Ability: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Knock Off
- Drain Punch / Poison Jab
- High Jump Kick

I like dual fighting STAB personally cause it gives scrafty certain amount of longevity while still having the same sweeping potential. Scrafty is a great threat to this core because it can setup against either of the member of this core surviving their hardest hitting attacks then proceed to outspeed and OHKO them with its STABs moves on the next turn. Chople berry let it take a focus blast, not relying on a miss.

The Colbur berry one is a bit tricky but you can see when meloetta has one due to its damage output (LO meloetta hits a lot harder) so in that case go for High Jump Kick which KO meloetta after rocks.

+1 252 Atk Scrafty Drain Punch vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Houndoom: 552-650 (189.6 - 223.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+1 252 Atk Scrafty Knock Off vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Meloetta: 308-366 (90 - 107%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

+1 252 Atk Scrafty High Jump Kick vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Meloetta: 307-363 (89.7 - 106.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

Core vs scrafty:

252 SpA Life Orb Houndoom Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Scrafty: 185-218 (68.2 - 80.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Life Orb Meloetta Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Scrafty: 168-199 (61.9 - 73.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Life Orb Meloetta Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Chople Berry Scrafty: 149-177 (54.9 - 65.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
 


Emboar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Reckless
EV's: 252Atk/252Spe/4SpD
Jolly Nature
-Flare Blitz
-Wild Charge
-Superpower
-Sleep Talk/Sucker Punch

Emboar is a large threat to this core. Due to its typing, Houndoom has literally nothing for Emboar (who is granted an easy switch whenever Houndoom is out) and is faced with two choices as soon as it hits the field, switch out or die. Meloetta is a different story as Emboar can't risk switching in on it, as it will get OHKO'd by a Psychic. However, if Emboar can get in unharmed (through a slow U-turn, Volt Switch, or even coming in as a revenge killer), it can do massive damage with its Reckless Flare Blitz. It even has a great chance at outright killing Meloetta if it has recieved any life orb or stealth rock damage before hand.

Houndoom

252 SpA Houndoom Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Emboar: 114-134 (31.5 - 37.1%) -- 80.9% chance to 3HKO


252 Atk Emboar Superpower vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Houndoom: 654-770 (224.7 - 264.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Meloetta


252 SpA Life Orb Meloetta Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Emboar: 269-317 (74.5 - 87.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Reckless Emboar Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Meloetta: 280-331 (81.8 - 96.7%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
 
Durant @ Life Orb
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Superpower
- X-Scissor/Hone Claws
- Crunch/Hone Claws
Although Durant cant switch in to these two mons it proves to be a problem for the core regardless, having a main stab move that is super effective on meloetta and having superpower for hound. Because of hustle acting like a natural choice band it has a massive amount of power so it can even kill meloetta at -1 attack. It also outspeeds both pokemon easily and doesn't need prior damage to OKHO. Although not the most reliable check because it has a chance of missing its attacks its very frightening for this core as they both have subpar defense stats.

calcs
houndoom
252 Atk Life Orb Hustle Durant X-Scissor vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Houndoom: 434-512 (149.1 - 175.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Gurdurr @ Eviolite
Ability: Guts
EVs: 248 HP / 204 Atk / 16 Def / 36 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Mach Punch
- Bulk Up
- Knock Off
- Drain Punch

Provides the team a solid offensive glue to many threats for this core like scrafty, mega glalie, sneasel, durant among others and it manages to set up against most of them easily. It also benefit from meloetta and houndoom destroying gurdurr checks so it can proceed to set up with ease. Pseudo status absorbing is also really nice.

Reserving Virizion


Virizion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Focus Blast
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Rock] / Hidden Power Fire

Calm Mind Virizion is capable of coming in on both Tangrowth and Poliwrath relatively safely (Houndoom's Fire Blast obviously poses a problem, although you can still come in on predicted Dark Pulses/Sucker Punches or after Houndoom pursuits something if you're ballsy). Once Virizion switches in, it can then proceed to outspeed and smack around every member of the core with Virizion's coverage moves, getting OHKOs on all of them after minor amounts of prior damage. Virizion is even capable of using Poliwrath as set up bait if need be thanks to its typing and ridiculously good special bulk.

Italics= Avoid this move if possible

Poliwrath

252+ SpA Poliwrath Ice Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Virizion: 116-138 (35.8 - 42.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Reserving Fletchinder

Fletchinder @ (No Hold Item)
Ability: Gale Wings
EV's: 252Atk/152HP/76Def/28SpDef
Nature: Adamant
-Acrobatics
-Roost
-Will-o-Wisp
-Swords Dance

While Fletchinder can't switch in on any of the core members safely, it pressures all of them with its powerful priority Acrobatics. The addition of Swords Dance makes one of the best revenge killers into one of the best setup sweepers. However, Tangrowth can survive a non-boosted attack and respond with Sleep Powder while Houndoom outspeeds, and fires off a Sucker Punch before dying to an Acrobatics.

Poliwrath

252+ Atk Fletchinder Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Poliwrath: 282-332 (87.8 - 103.4%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

Tangrowth

252+ Atk Fletchinder Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Tangrowth: 222-264 (60.1 - 71.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Houndoom

Reserving Golbat



Golbat @ Eviolite
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 248 HP / 164 SpD / 96 Spe
Careful Nature
- Defog
- Roost
- Brave Bird
- Toxic / Taunt

Specially Defensive Golbat can tank any hit from this core and either Toxic stall its foes or 2HKO Poliwrath and Tangrowth after Stealth Rock damage and has a good chance to OHKO Houndoom after Stealth Rock damage. I speed creeped Poliwrath so that Ice Beam will do less on the turn Golbat Roosts. Taunt is nice for preventing Tangrowth from using Sleep Powder, which is the only thing this core can really do to Golbat since it can Roost for more health than its taken.

Poliwrath
0 Atk Golbat Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Poliwrath: 224-266 (69.7 - 82.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

252+ SpA Poliwrath Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 164+ SpD Eviolite Golbat: 92-110 (26 - 31.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

Tangrowth
0 Atk Golbat Brave Bird vs. 112 HP / 0 Def Tangrowth: 180-212 (48.7 - 57.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

252+ SpA Life Orb Tangrowth Sludge Bomb vs. 248 HP / 164+ SpD Eviolite Golbat: 39-47 (11 - 13.3%) -- possible 8HKO

Lol. This thing actually puts tons of work against this core, eating tangrowth for breakfast and handling houndoom really damn well. It can beat poliwrath 1v1 if magmortar doesnt take rock damage since it is EV´d to take a LO hydro pump + vacuum wave even if the highest rolls possible and thunderbolt 2hko poliwrath back. Too lazy to post calcs but I have an amazing one:

252+ SpA Choice Specs Tangrowth Focus Blast vs. 112 HP / 48 SpD Assault Vest Magmortar: 127-150 (39.8 - 47%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
