IVs: 0 Atk

Latiasite Toxapex is a very hard counter not just to the Entei set posted, but Howl and Stomping Tantrum variants as well. Toxapex can even abuse premega Regenerator to leave each encounter unscathed. Toxapex has multiple ways to stall out Entei, with Scald being a roll 2HKO and Toxic to stall it out (and Haze to beat Howl variants). Overall Toxapex is one of the best Entei counters and isn’t complete deadweight either, checking top threats like Groudon-Primal as well

Groudon checks Entei as it can switch in comfortably two or three times and forces out Entei with the threat of an OHKO with precipice blades, however if it gets Toxiced on the first switch it can be worn down relatively quickly and cannot recover so isn't a long term counter.

Due to Rockceus’s great physical bulk and resistance to fire, it can easily handle Entei’s attacks and counter it.
252+ Atk Pixilate Entei Extreme Speed vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Arceus-Rock: 127-150 (28.6 - 33.7%) -- 0.6% chance to 3HKO

252+ Atk Entei Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Arceus-Rock: 88-104 (19.8 - 23.4%) -- possible 5HKO
In return, Rockceus forces Entei out by threatening to OHKO it.
0 SpA Stone Plate Arceus-Rock Judgment vs. 184 HP / 0 SpD Entei: 384-452 (92 - 108.3%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
For move choice, Judgement and Recover are mandatory, while the other two slots are more flexible. Arceus’s powerful Rock STAB allows it to be a multidimensional threat in the meta, allowing it to beat all forms of Entei, along with flying types such as Zapdos and Pinsirite Zeraora. Since this Entei carries Toxic, Refresh is preferred in order to brush off being poisoned on the switch. However, for greater overall utility, Stealth Rock and Defog are viable options. EVs are to maximize physical bulk while outspeeding neutral-natured base 90s.

Although Blissey doesn't like to handle the boosting Entei set, or any set with Return, this set being presented here doesn't have either, so Blissey is able to comfortably switch into any of its attacks and then stall it out.

The calcs speak for themselves. Free hazards for daaaays, leech for recovery and chip and Gyro does a decent chunk of necessary. Sacred fire and toxic are useless and Edge and Espeed aren't great either. Anticipation is used cos it gets no love I standard play so why not. Enjoying the MnM subs being fire attackers that my beautiful spiky boy just sits on.

Although, it dislikes getting hit by Toxic unless it runs Refresh or gets burned by Sacred Fire.

Arceus-Water is a hard check to Altarianite Entei thanks to its great bulk and its Water-Typing. In addition, it is also faster than it where it gets a quick recovery option before Entei gets a chance to get a KO and even straight-out OHKO it with a super-effective Judgment. Although, it dislikes getting hit by Toxic unless it runs Refresh or gets burned by Sacred Fire.

Chansey @ Eviolite
Bold Nature
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
- Soft-Boiled
- Heal Bell
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
This pink blob is one of the hardest stop to special attackers available, and this xurkitree set has no way of breaking it outside of somehow getting 3 turns sleep every time. Unaware ignores the stat boosts from Tail Glow, so Zap Cannon is always weak vs it. There is nothing this Xurkitree set can viably run to get around this Chansey set.
252 SpA Xurkitree Zap Cannon vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 124-147 (19.3 - 22.8%) -- possible 5HKO
252 SpA Xurkitree Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 42-50 (6.5 - 7.7%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Magic Bounce Celebi as a Check
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
Evs: 252 Hp/ 4 SpAtk/ 252 SpDef
Calm Nature
0 Atk IVs
- Leaf Storm
- Earth Power
- Recover
- Stealth Rock/Leech Seed
SpDef bounce Celebi makes a good check to this Xurk set. Ideally it comes in on a Hypnosis and bounces it back or at least a Zap Cannon (doesn't like para tho). HP ice actually doesn't 3HKO with leftys but it becomes more problematic when Xurk starts boosting. Earth Power is a clean 2HKO and it can take one +3 HP ice so it can make it work but it needs to be healthy to do so. However it can chunk Xurk significantly to make it much easier to revenge. Earth Power also makes it a decent answer to most Mag variants and electric types as well as dissuading fire types from switching in. Leaf Storm helps beat grounds in particular more passive ones like Hippo or Pert as well as making it a decent Fini answer. Just a generally bulky mon that fucks with status and hazards and sets it's own. You can use Rocks or Seeds depending on your teams needs (heh rhyme) or even status like twave but none of those are particularly relevant to the Xurk matchup so they're interchangeable here.

Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Aerilate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- U-turn
While it dislikes getting hit by HP Ice or crippled by Hypnosis, Scarf Lando-T is still a great offensive check capable of revenge killing +1 Speed Xurkitree using a super-effective Earthquake. Thanks to an immunity to Zap Cannon, it can't be paralyzed by the move. It can also grab momentum with U-turn or take out a threat with powerful STAB Explosion.
Note: Just don't directly switching your Lando-T against Xurkitree, bring it by either pivot or someone died in your team.
