So since FakeTurn used to be one of the most common playstyles in Linked and is still very good and annoying to unprepared teams, I thought I'd give a bunch of ways to counter it :D
Inner Focus
Inner Focus obviously means you can't be flinched. The best Inner Focus Pokemon are Dragonite (if you are willing to forgo Multiscale), Lucario, Mega Gallade (it's finally useful !_!) and Kangaskhan. To get you started, here is a set than completely sweep teams that rely solely on FakeTurn:
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Sky Drop
- Earthquake/Fire Punch/Roost/Extremespeed
- Earthquake/Fire Punch/Roost/Extremespeed
The given EVs outspeed max speed Jolly Scarf Ampibom at +2. Sky Drop is STAB and is SE on many of the most common FakeTurners (such as Infernape and Mienshao). The other moves are coverage, priority, or healing, you can choose whatever you want. Sky Drop is usually bad as it takes 2 turns, but in this case it allows you to get 2 DDs up while still attacking.
TheBlueFiretruck was the first person to use this iirc, and it is a very good strategy to counter FakeTurn.
Anyway, next is priority. Priority goes before FakeTurn so any priority users get 2 hits on the FakeTurners. Some priority users are Infernape, Weavile, Dragonite, the Hitmons, Mega Medicham, Aegislash, Toxicroak, Breloom, Lucario, Raichu, and Mega Pinsir, with a variety of combinations including Fake Out, Extremespeed, Feint, Quick Attack, Bullet Punch, Mach Punch, Sucker Punch, and Aqua Jet.
Aegislash. Pretty simple, this just kills all FakeTurn teams. King's Shield + hitting with priority + immune to Fake Out, etc. Can be rekted by non-Choiced Infernapes that choose to run WoW though.
Ghosts in general. Immunity to Fake Out and resistance to U-Turn ruins the strategy. The best ones are probably Aegislash, Gengar, and Chandelure due to their power and all 4x resisting U-Turn. Golurk could potentially be used as well if you hate Raichu, and Banded EdgeQuake/Dynamic Punch with No Guard seems like a decent set now that I think about it o.o
Protect. It stops Fake Out cold and causes the opposing team to lose momentum. It also gives you a free turn to set up or attack.
Residual damage. Iron Barbs (from Ferrothron) deals out 1/4 HP in damage, and it resists Fake Out/Volt Switch and is neutral to U-Turn while having massive bulk allowing it to tank many of these. If you slap a Rocky Helmet on it (or tbh any defensive Pokemon such as Amoonguss, Clefable, or Garchomp [who also has Rough Skin]) then it's basically over for the FakeTurners--they die really quickly.
So this is just a list of ways to beat FakeTurn in Linked easily, and you should always be packing at least one of them so as not to get overwhelmed by this strategy. I hope it helps people :D
