Project SS PU Victim of the Week | Week 2 - Sneasel (Submissions)

[Rubicon]

Lapras @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Whirlpool
- Perish Song
- Protect
- Rest​

I'm a bit creatively stumped on this one, so it's time to go back to some shenanigans I'd normally pull. Here's for a defensive counter that can trap and end her before she gets too many calm minds under her belt. Whirlpool keeps her in place, Perish Song is a deathblow in 3 turns, Protect stalls out some of the turns if you need Lapras to catch something else, and Rest is there to sleep off the damage she accumulates, and if you think you can afford a turn or two asleep against something else

Defending calculations

The calculations are based on how much damage Musharna can deal based on how many turns of calm mind were used under pain of potential death by mumble rap Perish Song
8 SpA Musharna Psychic vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Lapras: 78-93 (16.8 - 20%)

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE

Mr. Rime @ Choice Specs
Ability: Screen Cleaner
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam / Focus Blast / Trick /
- Freeze-Dry
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball

It is not a surprise that mr rime has great wall breaking potential and is very useful as a utility, in this case I choose specs since it is capable of killing 2HKO musharna from Shadow ball which makes it a safe check, it can take attacks very easy thanks to his special bulky, I think he is not very creative but Mr Rime is one of the best musharna checks.

Calcs

252+ SpA Choice Specs Mr. Rime Shadow Ball vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Musharna: 268-316 (61.6 - 72.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Mr. Rime Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Musharna: 225-265 (51.7 - 60.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Mr. Rime Shadow Ball vs. +1 248 HP / 0 SpD Musharna: 180-212 (41.3 - 48.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Mr. Rime Ice Beam vs. +1 248 HP / 0 SpD Musharna: 151-178 (34.7 - 40.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
8 SpA Musharna Psychic vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Mr. Rime: 51-61 (16.9 - 20.2%) -- possible 5HKO
8 SpA Musharna Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Mr. Rime: 73-86 (24.2 - 28.5%) -- 97.5% chance to 4HKO

[Don't give two shits]

I nominate Honedge as a offensive counter

Honedge @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 28 Atk / 220 SpD / 8 Spe
Careful Nature
- Shadow Claw
- Iron Head
- Shadow Sneak
- Swords Dance

This is a oddly ev'd set. So 8 speed helps outspeed Musharna. 252 HP and 220 Careful nature maximizes it's special bulk while also leaving enough room for a few Attack evs. This Pokemon is a counter because it can switch in pretty easily on Musharna. Shadow Claw and Sneak is your ghost STAB and Iron Head is your Steel STAB.

Calcs:
8 SpA Musharna Psychic vs. 252 HP / 220+ SpD Eviolite Honedge: 45-54 (15.3 - 18.3%) -- possible 6HKO after Stealth Rock
+1 8 SpA Musharna Psychic vs. 252 HP / 220+ SpD Eviolite Honedge: 67-80 (22.7 - 27.2%) -- 99.6% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock
+2 8 SpA Musharna Psychic vs. 252 HP / 220+ SpD Eviolite Honedge: 90-106 (30.6 - 36%) -- 98.6% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock
+3 8 SpA Musharna Psychic vs. 252 HP / 220+ SpD Eviolite Honedge: 112-132 (38 - 44.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
28 Atk Honedge Shadow Claw vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Musharna: 104-126 (23.9 - 28.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Stealth Rock
+2 28 Atk Honedge Shadow Claw vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Musharna: 206-246 (47.3 - 56.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
+4 28 Atk Honedge Shadow Claw vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Musharna: 312-368 (71.7 - 84.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
+4 28 Atk Honedge Shadow Sneak vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Musharna: 180-212 (41.3 - 48.7%) -- 72.7% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock

 

[quarantine is bad :(]

Nominating Psyvally as a offensive counter.

Silvally-Psychic @ Psychic Memory
Ability: RKS System
Jolly Nature
EVs: 140 HP / 72 Atk / 252 Spe
- Multi-Attack
- X-Scissor
- Flame Charge
- Swords Dance

Silv-Psy can take hits from Musharna SD up and 2HKO with x-scissor but only if rocks are up. Flame Charge is for boosting speed and M-Attack is STAB.

Calcs:
8 SpA Musharna Moonblast vs. 140 HP / 0 SpD Silvally-Psychic: 76-90 (20.7 - 24.5%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
+1 8 SpA Musharna Moonblast vs. 140 HP / 0 SpD Silvally-Psychic: 114-135 (31.1 - 36.8%) -- 75.1% chance to 3HKO
+2 8 SpA Musharna Moonblast vs. 140 HP / 0 SpD Silvally-Psychic: 152-179 (41.5 - 48.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+2 72 Atk Silvally-Psychic X-Scissor vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Musharna: 192-226 (44.1 - 51.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

 

[gum]

this was originally Oathkeepre's post
Taking this mon since the first person never did their post and staff strongly disagreed with the most recent person's attempt at it

Silvally-Psychic @ Psychic Memory
Ability: RKS System
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Multi-Attack
- X-Scissor
- U-turn

Check but borderline counter. Psychicvally resists Mushy's STAB but does take a little chunk from Moonblast tho. Enough to possibly 4HKO:

8 SpA Musharna Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Silvally-Psychic: 76-90 (22.9 - 27.1%) -- 54.3% chance to 4HKO

But once Psychicvally gets off an SD, it can 2HKO with X-Scissor:

+2 252 Atk Silvally-Psychic X-Scissor vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Musharna: 226-266 (51.9 - 61.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
