Butterfree @ Leftovers
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Bug Buzz
- Substitute
- Quiver Dance
- Sleep Powder
Butterfree can switch into Horn Leech with ease (48 Atk Gogoat Horn Leech vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Butterfree: 36-43 (13.7 - 16.4%) -- possible 5HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery) and is immune to Earthquake. It also wins even if Gogoat bulks up on the switch into Butterfree (+1 48 Atk Gogoat Horn Leech vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Butterfree: 55-64 (21 - 24.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery).
This set is easily countered by Butterfree, who can set up a Quiver Dance without worry. Butterfree should be setting up since Bug Buzz, due to Gogoat's unbelievable special bulk, only 2HKO's about 30% of the time.
