:ss/weezing-galar:
Weezing-Galar @ Black Sluge/Rocky Helmet
Ability: Neutralizing Gas / Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Strange Steam
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
- Defog / Toxic Spikes

Since this dnite set doesn't carry Earthquake, Weezing Galar p much walls it easily. Thanks to Neutralizing Gas, Strange Steam 2HKO dnite while it cant 2hko you back, and if you're not a big fan of Neutralizing Gas, a Levitate / RH Version is totay usable, as Dnite will take 2 times the Rocky by clicking Dual Wingbeat and put itself out of Multiscale, not mentionning Dual Wingbeat is a garbage move that can miss and the 20% chance of confusing the opp that strange steam has.
0 SpA Weezing-Galar Strange Steam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Dragonite: 168-200 (52 - 61.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 252 Atk Dragonite Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Weezing-Galar: 128-152 (38.3 - 45.5%) -- approx. 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery

With a landslide vote on Mamoswine for Check and Weezing-Galar for Counter, congrats to Kyanno and Ryuji-Sempai for winning this week's round! Your submissions will be added to the Hall of Fame shortly.

Let's move onto the next one, this week's Victim will be none other than Sharpedo-Mega!

While initially panned over in favor of Blaziken prior to its ban, Sharpedo's Strong Jawed Mega Evolution surges back with a vengeance in our most recent update to cause havoc once again and be a generally fantastic cleaner on most offense teams. How will you defeat our latest Victim?

Deadline for submissions will be on the 29th of May, Good luck.​

Primarina @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 248 HP / 204 Def / 40 SpD / 16 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Moonblast
- Substitute
Prima can switch on the protect or on a resisted move such as Crunch and Ice Fang that does absolutely no damage to it. It can even switch on a Psychic Fang, assuming rocks aren't on the field, and always OHKO back with moonblast. If you switch on the protect before the mega, you can then proceed to sub and either stack some CM or spreading burns with Scald

Cobalion @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Close Combat
- Iron Head
- Volt Switch

Not hard to see how good of a counter cobalion is. This Pokemon, without any investment in HP or Defense, can easily tank two of it's strongest attack against it being psychic fangs even after stealth rocks. Not only that, it Cobalion is a guaranteed OHKO on Mega-Sharpedo and if switched into a Crunch, Cobalion's ability justified gives it an attack raise so things can't revenge it as easily after it deals with Mega-Sharpedo.

Also, it can take opportunities to pivot out after stopping Mega-Sharpedo and gives the team not only a counter to a Mega-Sharpedo but also a stealth rocker setter making Cobalion the most versatile and useful Mega-Sharpedo counter.

252+ Atk Strong Jaw Sharpedo-Mega Psychic Fangs vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Cobalion: 129-152 (39.9 - 47%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock


252 Atk Cobalion Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Sharpedo-Mega: 408-482 (145.1 - 171.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Mach Punch

- Rock Tomb
- Spore

Submitting as a check

Mach punch OHKOs: 252+ Atk Technician Breloom Mach Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Sharpedo-Mega: 288-342 (102.1 - 121.2%)
Or you can spore if you get a free switch, considering that you have the sash.

Both Psychic Fangs and Ice Fang OHKO though, so be careful. It needs a free switch or a switchin on a crunch to KO w/ Mach Punch, or put something else out of commission w/ Spore.
252+ Atk Strong Jaw Sharpedo-Mega Crunch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Breloom: 135-160 (51.7 - 61.3%)
252+ Atk Strong Jaw Sharpedo-Mega Ice Fang vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Breloom: 294-348 (112.6 - 133.3%)
252+ Atk Strong Jaw Sharpedo-Mega Psychic Fangs vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Breloom: 384-454 (147.1 - 173.9%)

Aggron-Mega @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Rest
- Body Press
- Heavy Slam / Sleep Talk
- Curse / Iron Defense

With One Billion Defense Mega Aggron can take Mega Sharp moves easily and OHKO back with Body Press. Since Sharp is mostly used to clean late-game you just need to keep this guy healthy enough.


252+ Atk Strong Jaw Sharpedo-Mega Crunch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aggron-Mega: 109-129 (31.6 - 37.5%) -- 85.4% chance to 3HKO

4 Def Aggron-Mega Body Press vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Sharpedo-Mega: 324-382 (114.8 - 135.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
