I shall prove that croagunk is not a reliable counter!

36 Atk Timburr Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 52 HP / 116 Def Eviolite Croagunk: 3-4 (13.6 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO
(3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4)

22 - 1 from SR = 21 - 3 KO dmg = 18 hp croagunk

Switch into stunky now.

188+ Atk Croagunk Knock Off vs. 18 HP / 224 Def Stunky: 2-3 (8.6 - 13%) -- possible 8HKO
(2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3)

23 - 3 KO dmg = 20 hp stunky

188+ Atk Croagunk Drain Punch vs. 18 HP / 224 Def Stunky: 9-12 (39.1 - 52.1%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO
(9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 12)

68 SpA Stunky Fire Blast vs. 52 HP / 116 SpD Dry Skin Croagunk: 10-12 (45.4 - 54.5%) -- 37.1% chance to 2HKO
(10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 12)

This becomes a little harder to judge at this point because stunky was provided with unusually ev investment into special attack and has a 43% chance to get 11 damage on fireblasts. The drain punches however definitely averages 10 damage.

18 - 10 (fireblast) + 5 (D-punch) = 13 hp croagunk

20 - 10 = 10 hp stunky.

If both fire blast low roll 10 damage then croagunk lives on 2 hitpoints and recovers 5 hitpoints from drainpunch to remain at 7 hitpoints. There is only a 37.1% chance that the fire blasts would both hit 11 damage so the majority of time you could say that croagunk would kill stunky. However, then there is after math damage to factor in.

22 X .25 = 5.5 = 5 hitpoints

18 - 20 (low fireblasts) + 10 (2 D-punch recovery) = 7 - 5 (aftermath) = 3 hp croagunk

Timburr now comes back with a vengeance and mach punches croagunk to death

36 Atk Timburr Mach Punch vs. 52 HP / 116 Def Croagunk: 3-4 (13.6 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO
(3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4)

3 - 3 = DEAD CROAGUNK.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So obviously croagunk doesn't counter this dou but I will go farther to prove that D-punch spam and 1 bulk up also result in croagunk losing.

188+ Atk Croagunk Drain Punch vs. 16 HP / 224 Def Eviolite Stunky: 7-9 (30.4 - 39.1%) -- 17.6% chance to 3HKO
(7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 9)

+1 188+ Atk Croagunk Drain Punch vs. 16 HP / 224 Def Eviolite Stunky: 9-12 (39.1 - 52.1%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO
(9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 12)

D-punch does the same damage at +1 that it does after a knock off. Thus, using bulk up the turn that stunky switches in would actually be inferior to using knock off. I already disproved that knocking off stunky on the switch won't work so I can entirely ignore a bulk up on the switch cause as it would be inferior and do nothing to reduce the incoming fire blasts.

So what we must look at is simply drain punch spam from croagunk.

23 - 7 (D-punch) = 16 hp stunky

18 + 3 (d-punch recovery) = 21 hp croagunk

-----

16 - 7 = 9 hp stunky

21 + 3 - 10 = 14 hp croagunk

-----

9 - 7 = 2 hp stunky

14 + 3 - 10 = 7 hp croagunk

12 Atk Stunky Sucker Punch vs. 52 HP / 116 Def Croagunk: 4-6 (18.1 - 27.2%) -- 1.4% chance to 4HKO
(4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6)

0- SpA Croagunk Vacuum Wave vs. 18 HP / 28 SpD Eviolite Stunky: 4-6 (17.3 - 26%) -- 0% chance to 4HKO
(4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6)

Croagunk is forced to use vacuum wave at this point to finish the faster stunky off or a fire blast will finish croagunk off. Doing this avoid after math damage but taking 4 damage from sucker punch again leaves croagunk at only 3 hitpoints where timburrs mach punch again easily finishes it off. Again, however, I did use the low roll 10 damage fireblasts while there is a 37.1% chance to get 11 - 12 damage fireblasts that kill croagunk without the need of sucker punch and mach punch.

So it's a DEAD Croagunk no matter what strategy you use sadly as long as the timburr and stunky are used correctly.

Aron easily switches in on any of Porygon or Spritzee's moves and begins setting up with it's Curse/Iron Head/Rest/Sleep Talk set. The second Spritzee calc is included if Spritzee uses Calm Mind when Aron switches in. It's HP and Special Defense stats are maxed out, and both defenses hit Eviolite numbers, in order to help it take the special hits from these two 'mons. This spread is outsped by Porygon but speed ties with Spritzee.

30 - 3 (Stealth rocks) = 27 hp munchlax

Porygon is a joke to curse recycle berry juice munchlax unless tri attack burns. So lets say that spritzee calm minds on the switch.

27 - 13 (+1 moonblast) = 14 + 20 (berry juice) = 31 hp munchlax

27 - 14 *(gunk shot) = 13 hp spritzee

-----

31 - 13 = 18 hp munchlax

13 - 14 = Dead spritzee

From here munchlax could easily recycle back to 28 hp vs porygon after a try attack and then set up a curse. Lets now take a look at normal moonblast spam. Spritzee could get off 3 attacks before getting 2 koed by gunkshot.

27 - 9 = 18 hp munchlax

-----

18 - 9 = 9 + 20 = 29 hp munchlax

27 - 14 = 13 hp spritzee

-----

29 - 9 = 20 hp munchlax

13 - 14 = Dead spritzee

This leaves munchlax with 20 hp after spritzee dies to a second gunkshot. Munchlax can again defeat porygon easily after a recycle and curse.

So yeah, Munchlax destroys this dou. It could be changed around a bit if you wanted to be able to hit stuff like gastly. I just figured I'd give it a stab return and curse so it could quickly take care of porygon and not waste time while porygon recovers and triattacks.

+1 240+ SpA Porygon Tri Attack vs. 0 HP / 236 SpD Munchlax: 13-16 (43.3 - 53.3%) -- 85.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock

My bad, I missed that. It doesn't really matter though because this is a berry juice munchlax with recycle.

Ironically, if you did use the 31 hitpoint 18 attack munchlax I said I wanted to use, but didn't need to, then this would rely less on the 39.1% damage rolls because 31 hitpoints wouldn't have to worry about the 15 damage rolls activating berry juice when you do not want it to. However, unless you are extremely unlucky you will be able to stall with recycle until you get a 39.1% roll on tri attack that results in a 13 damage roll.

+1 236+ SpA Porygon Tri Attack vs. 0 HP / 236 SpD Munchlax: 13-16 (43.3 - 53.3%) -- 39.1% chance to 2HKO
(13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 16)


27 - 13 (tri attack) + 20 = 30 hp munchlax

Because there is only a 60.9% chance to get a 15 damage roll tri attack you can recycle until you get a 13 tri attack while you use recycle and have an intact berry juice as well as 17 hitpoints. Then you can curse and contine to berry juice until you can get a return in.

17 - 15 = 2 + 20 = 22

22 - 15 + 20 = 27

27 - 15 + 20 = 30

So you can use a 31 hp, 18 attack munchlax to make it a MORE reliable counter or you can use 30 hp, 19 attack munchlax and wait for a couple 39.1% 13 damage roll tri attack.

I'm not going to redo the whole thing with 31 hp and 18 attack cause I really do not think it is necessary. The 18 attack does not change any important calculations so it is what I wanted to go with in the first place, but then I went with 19 attack cause it was a more standard set to use. To prove it I will show that the 18 attack munchlax calculations are the same.

Gunkshot and +1 Return do the same amount of damage with 18 attack, 31 hp munchlax as a munchlax with 19 attack, 30 hp.

You are better off using a toxic stall set or something. The reason being is that spritzee can pp stall bronzor pretty badly. This set you have here will not work.

_____

Spritzee can wish and protect to recover off flash cannon damage. Spritzee and bronzor have very similar PP.

calm mind = 32
protect = rest = sleep talk = wish = flash cannon = 16
moonblast = 24

Overall spritzee has more PP than bronzor and would last longer. If bronzor managed to hold onto a few pp to use on rest and sleep talk while spritzee is forced to moonblast then porygon can come in and just spam recover. It porygon spams recover and bronzor doesn't have a LOT of flash cannon pp then it will unable to kill porygon since +6 flash cannon only does 15 - 16 damage to porygon. Bronzor would lose this pp stall war and die.

Staryu can't switch into either of those, read up on the rules dude

ferrochikorita + rhyhorn is mine.

Chikorita @ Eviolite
Ability: Overgrow
Level: 5
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 156 HP / 160 Def / 48 SpA / 76 SpD
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Aromatherapy
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Synthesis

Rhyhorn @ Eviolite
Ability: Lightning Rod
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 76 Def / 36 SpD / 76 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rock Polish
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast
- Swords Dance

All you need is a little bit of damage on Drilbur for Rhyhorn to be able to set up a nice Rock Polish and then be able to win. So send out Chikorita on Drilbur and then proceed to Giga Drain. This allows you to live another EQ, even if they SD at any point. You should be able to beat Drilbur 1v1, but even if you are flinched into oblivion, drilbur only needed to be worn down a small amount. Set up a Rock Polish as they EQ and then win.

Alternatively, if they have Doduo out, send out Rhyhorn and then Rock Polish in its face. Then beat Doduo as well as heavily damage Drilbur. Even if they pull fancy switches, this duo should be okay if played well.


not a joke ^^^^^

Archen is not a good counter imo.
If he come on a Dril's sd, he can't OHKO dril and then he is beaten by rock slide.
Even if he come on a rs, I don't think he can beat Dril + Doduo.

Btw, Amonita Air ballon is just an amazing idea.
I will edit my post for a counter (If I find one).

I was originally going to post my insane Archen set, however it would lose to even the slightest ounce of hax or a single miss predict. If at any point Dril SD'ed, or you came in on a knock off, you would lose. Otherwise, if you did get 1 Iron Defense up you were fine however. But as you can see, I chose a far more sensible way to beat this core.

This is pretty convoluted but here we go.

Omanyte @ Air Balloon
EVs: 76 HP / 196 SpA / 236 Spe
Ability: Weak Armor
Modest Nature
Surf
Ice Beam / Ancient Power
Earth Power
Filler

Alright here's how this beauty works. With air balloon attached omanyte can survive any combination of attacks these 2 can throw at it.

Hide

236 Atk Life Orb Doduo Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 76 HP / 0 Def Omanyte: 10-13 (47.6 - 61.9%) -- 90.2% chance to 2HKO
(10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 13)
236 Atk Life Orb Doduo Quick Attack vs. -1 76 HP / 0 Def Omanyte: 4-6 (19 - 28.5%) -- 18.9% chance to 4HKO
(4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6)
236 Atk Mold Breaker Drilbur Rock Slide vs. 76 HP / 0 Def Omanyte: 6-8 (28.5 - 38%) -- 59.1% chance to 3HKO
(6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8)
+2 236 Atk Mold Breaker Drilbur Rock Slide vs. 76 HP / 0 Def Omanyte: 12-15 (57.1 - 71.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 15)

Then, any attack that hits will trigger weak armor bringing omanyte's speed up to 19, passing both drilbur and doduo. Meanwhile it fires back with

Hide

236+ SpA Omanyte Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Doduo: 24-30 (126.3 - 157.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
(24, 24, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 30)

236+ SpA Omanyte Surf vs. 36 HP / 0 SpD Eviolite Drilbur: 24-30 (104.3 - 130.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
(24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 30)

Not the most viable set but its gonna take some pretty wacky sets to beat this duo. Theres not a lot that can switch into a doduo that can also beat a drilbur.

Omanyte doesn't survive by switching on drilbur and taking earthquake is almost 1HKO and omanyte dies on quick attack.

About the core, i don't think a single pokemon can counter both of these pokemon at the same time.

Air Balloon means that none of their attacks can hurt Omanyte much, which activates Weak Armor and lets Omanyte sweep both of them.

Right, my bad, silly me didn't saw Air baloon and assumed it was eviolite xD
