Counter That Pokemon!

Kyogre @Choice Scarf

Swampert @Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVS: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SpDef
~Stealth Rock
~Earthquake
~Ice Beam
~Hydro Pump

Defensive swampert is about the only thing that can switch in and not take a bunch of damage from either of the STAB attacks. Rotom could work too, but I'm not sure how well it absorbs CB Rock Blast.
 
Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Ice Beam

Ludicolo can easily take any of Swampert's attacks, Leech Seed it to force a switch or stall it out. Ice Beam is there for Grass-types that want to come in to absorb Leech Seed. If this is going to be countered with a Ferrothorn I will more than likely shoot myself in the face.

Sassy (+Spdef, -Spe)
- Poison Jab
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Protect

;)
 
Infernape (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Overheat
- Focus Blast
- Vacuum Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
pretty self explanatory

Trait: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
Calm Nature
-Scald
-Recover
-Taunt
-Toxic

Eats any hit Infernape can throw at it like a baws, Recovers if Ape used Overheat just to get more health, Scald for the clean kill.

Vileplume @ Black Sludge
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 244 HP / 12 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Sludge Bomb
- Protect
- Giga Drain

Immune to Toxic, resists Scald, and hits back with Giga Drain.
 
Crobat @ Flying Gem
Trait: Inner Focus
Nature: Jolly (+Spd, -SpA)
EVS: 252 Spd, 252 Atk, 4 HP
-Acrobatics
-U Turn
-Taunt
-Brave Bird

Resists Sludge Bomb and Giga Drain, can hit with a huge amount with Acrobatics and Brave Bird with Flying Gem for weakness (and on its lower Def stat) and can use Taunt to stop it using Leech Seed. U Turn is for scouting purposes.

EDIT: Put a nature in, forgot to put one in at first.
EDIT 2: Changed Zen Headbutt for Taunt-ZH is illegal with Brave Bird.
 
Aggron @ Choice Band
52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spe
Trait: Rock Head
Adamant
- Head Smash
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Aqua Tail

Crobat's worst nightmare. Aggron's Head Smash is one of the most powerful attacks outside of ubers, and it is so powerful that Crobat will faint upon just seeing Aggron come into play. Aggron is that manly. Everything else is coverage.
 
Torterra @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 252 HP - 252 Def - 4 Spe
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Wood Hammer
- Earthquake
- Synthesis
- Stealth Rock

The strongest move Aggron can go for on Torterra is Iron Head, which is a 3HKO at best. Meanwhile Torterra can set up Stealth Rock, recover its HP back up with Synthesis and easily take out Aggron with Earthquake.

Great post PMJ! [:
 
Weezing @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Nature: Bold
-Will-O-Wisp
-Pain Split
-Sludge Bomb
-Clear Smog

Weezing can easily tank Torterra's attack and can counter it with Will-O-Wisp.
 
Lucario @Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVS: 252 SpA, 252 Spd, 4 Atk
Nature: Rash
-Nasty Plot
-Psychic
-Aura Sphere
-ExtremeSpeed

Immune to Poison attacks, the Burn from WoW only matters on ES (which isn't essential for this battle anyway), Leftovers to recover Burn damage. It can set up with Nasty Plot while Weezing finds it hard to damage Lucario, and then Lucario can destroy Weezing with Psychic (but why would a Weezing stay in while all this is all happening?). Aura Sphere is a strong STAB move which is sort-of filler for this set.
 
Landorus@ Life Orb
252 Atk 252 Speed 4 HP
Naive
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Smack Down
- Hidden Power Ice

Landorus either comes in on NP, eats NVE Aura Sphere, uninvested no-stab ES, or Psychic which won't KO. He then outspeeds and nukes with Earthquake. Smack Down trolls Rotom and friends on the switch, and HP Ice rains destruction upon Gliscor, but won't OHKO without investment.
 
Pelipper (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 40 HP / 248 Def / 220 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Air Slash
- Ice Beam
- U-turn

Can take anything Landorus throws at it and outspeed for the KO. Such a magnificent beast.

I've been trying to find sets for Farfetch'd and friends that counter top OU threats
 
Lanturn @ Life Orb
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spe
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Hydro Pump

Resists everything except for U-turn, which obviously won't be doing much. Proceeds to then either destroy with Thunderbolt right away or take its time to set up an Agility first.
 
Lanturn @ Leftovers
Trait: Volt Absorb
Calm
EVs: 52 HP / 204 SpA / 252 SpD
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Scald
- Protect

With the given EVs, this Lanturn will never get its substitutes broken from Hydro Pump, allowing him to hit Toxic and stall until the offensive one dies.

This should be easy to counter, get a bit creative guys.

bacon: good freakin' luck lol, kudos for using pelipper
 
Paras @ Leftovers
Trait: Dry Skin
Adamant
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 SDef
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Seed
- Substitute
- Aromatherapy

Sub up, rid yourself of the Toxic, and unleash a +2 Paras unto the world. Bullet Seed is to take down Lanturn ASAP by breaking the sub as it could be goofy and possibly PP stall Seed Bomb with Sub + Protect spam if it's very lucky (OK I just wanted to use Bullet Seed)
 
Charizard (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Grass]

Can easily take Bullet Seed. It then can do over 9000 damage KO Paras.
 
Ludicolo@ Leftovers
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 SpD, 252 HP, 4 SpA
Calm Nature
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-HP Rock
Should be able to take hits from Zard, Rain Dance/Dish and Lefties make great healing, Surf is STAB, Ice Beam is for Flyers, HP Rock is for Bugs, making sure that it covers most of its weaknesses. Except Poison, but that fails offensively anyway but damaging Poison moves are never used on WiFi/PO.
 
Fire Blast does 44,78% - 52,75% to max Special Defense Ludicolo, not much of a solid counter. There's a high chance it'll get 2HKO'd after Stealth Rock, not to even mention how much it would do in sun.

There are much better counters out there, a special defensive Chandelure for example would be perfect.
 
Cryogonal @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Recover
- Rapid Spin

Comes in on anything, as HP Rock won't do much without investment. Toxic+Recover can outstall Ludicolo.
