EDIT: Typos, and sorry for the double post, I thought it was editing.

 

[RedPeppers]

I just used Rhyperior. WHY???

 

[0RLY]

I didn't see any Rhyperiors in the last 5 pages.

 

[RedPeppers]

Guess my memory just rocks?

Dragonair @ Yache Berry

-Thunderbolt
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Haze

Outspeeds you by one point. Hazes my sp.def drops back to normal, if needed. Flamethrower for the kill. Even with your sp.def EVs, your physical defenses are still higher.

Bronzor @ Leftovers

252 HP/252 def/6 sp. atk

~Iron Defense

Giga Impact only does 60 % with 6 curses. Rest in Giga Impact's recoil phase. Use sleep talk to raise defenses or cause damage.

@ Gastrodon

Roserade @ Lum Berry

KO's with energy ball to save my Satk.

 

[0RLY]

@ Roserade:

Noctowl @ Leftovers
Insomnia/Calm
252hp/252sp.def/6def
-Night Shade
-Reflect
-Roost
-Toxic

Resists Grass and is immune to Ghost and Sleep. Night Shade for a main attacking move and Toxic for Normal types. I'm 99% sure there isn't a Steel/Normal or Poison/Normal to resist this move combination. Reflect and Roost for added durability.

 

[Pink Reaper]

@Noctowl

Zangoose@Life Orb
Immunity/Jolly
252Atk/252Spe/6HP
-Swords Dance
-Return
-Close Combat
-Shadow Claw

Do I have to say it?

 

[0RLY]

@ Zangoose: I was sooo expecting this! Except in the form of Snorlax... but whatever.

Torkoal @ Leftovers
White Smoke/Relaxed
252hp/252sp.def/6def (0 spe IV)
-Will-O-Wisp
-Toxic
-Gyro Ball
-Protect

Okay, this time, I'm absolutely sure there isn't a steel/fire (that's not OU) or poison/fire to resist this move combo. I'm also sure there isn't a fire type with immunity or a poison/steel type with flash fire or something like that. GO~!

 

[Pink Reaper]

@Torkoal

Clefairy@Leftovers
Modest/Magic Guard
252Hp/152Def/104SpAtk
-Calm Mind
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Softboiled

Ruining your plans are indeed quite fun takes no damage from burn/poison. Calm minds up, heals what little damage I would have taken with Softboiled then runs through you with BoltBeam

 

[0RLY]

@ Pink Reaper: You could SO run Belly Drum on that set. Torkoal can barely scratch Clefairy.

@ Clefairy: Why not Clefable?

EDIT: I countered...

 

[Pink Reaper]

Clefairy because I can XD

 

[0RLY]

Hitmonchan @ Payapa Berry (weakens super effective Psychic attacks)
Iron Fist/Careful (+sp.def,-sp.atk)
252atk/240hp/16spe
-Agility
-Drain Punch
-Ice Punch
-Thunder Punch

Agility gets me faster than Jolly Weavile, not that I really need to worry about him.

 

[UberBlackCleric]

@Hitmonchan

Drapion@Leftovers
Adamant/Sniper
252Atk/156Def/100Spe
-Swords Dance
-Agility
-Aerial Ace
-Brick Break

Makes itself faster than you, stronger than you then Aerial Aces.

 

[0RLY]

@ Drapion: I've seen way too many of these...

Sandslash @ Expert Belt
Sand Veil/Adamant
252atk/252def/6hp
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Brick Break
-Shadow Claw

I have enough defense to survive even if you SD. Strikes back with EQ for the ohko.

 

[UberBlackCleric]

@ Sandslash

Blastoise@Expert Belt
Modest/Torrent
252Hp/252SpAtk/4Def
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-HP Electric
-Focus Blast

Standard attacking Blastoise

 

[RedPeppers]

Welcome to "The Counter Game" UberBlack. Jsyk the rules have been adapted from the original post to only use BL and below pokes. Also your Blastoise is missing a nature, and doesn't have an ability listed I know the ability isn't necessary much of the time, but it's nice to do.

 

[0RLY]

@ Blastoise:

Wormadam-G @ Yache Berry
Anticipation/Modest
252sp.atk/252hp/6sp.def
-Leaf Storm
-Psychic
-Energy Ball
-HP (Rock)

Resists 3 of your moves. Strikes back hard.

 

[UberBlackCleric]

@Wormadam

Absol@Leftovers
Lonely/Super Luck
200atk/56SpDef/252Spe
-Swords Dance
-Fire Blast
-Night Slash
-Brick Break

Even with max special attack, Wormadam hits anything but hard. Fire Blast without ANY Special Attack EV's rips through you.

 

[RedPeppers]

@ Absol

Poliwrath @ Leftovers
Nature: Naive
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 Spe / 252 Atk / 6 Hp
Substitute
Focus Punch
Waterfall
Hypnosis

I can Hypnosis, or just Sub-Punch.

 

[UberBlackCleric]

@ Poliwrath

Venusaur@Leftovers
Overgrow/Relaxed
252Hp/100Def/4SpAtk
-Synthesis
-Sleep Talk
-Energy Ball
-Sludge Bomb

Focus punch does a paltry 28% MAX which means you have to have amazingly perfect luck to 5HKO me. Sleep Talk lets me attack through hypnosis and Energy Ball will hurt. Now I KNOW no one is thinking of using a steel or poison type against me or anything.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

@ Venusaur

Shedinja @ Focus Sash
Adamant (+ atk - sp. atk)
Wonderguard
255 atk/255 speed
~Heal Block
~Will-O-Wisp
~X-Scissor
~Shadow Sneak

Heal Block stops your synthesis and none of your moves have any effect. Will-o-wisp ensures a slow but sure death along with X-scissor.

Spoiler

*Cough*Sandstream*Cough*

 

[RedPeppers]

Ahem rule w/e it is says no being cheap with Shedninja. Sry Jpp8.

@ Venusaur:

Xatu @ Leftovers
Synchronize/Modest
252sp.atk/252hp/6spe
-Psychic
-Silver Wind
-Roost
-Confuse Ray

Resists your two attacks. I win this stall war.

 

[UberBlackCleric]

@ Xatu

Ledian@Leftovers
Adamant/Early Bird....I guess
252Atk/252SpDef/6Hp
-Swords Dance
-Thunder Punch
-Ice Punch
-Roost

This thing actually has some good Special Defense so it has more than enough time to set up swords dance. Pseudo Bolt Beam with Ice Punch and Thunder Punch, both hit you super effetive.

 

[0RLY]

I guess even if you're confused, you can't hit yourself for super effective damage, right? If I were you, I'd at least use a Pokemon with Lum Berry+Safeguard. It "sorta" counters me, but doesn't counter me entirely...

 

[UberBlackCleric]

Come on ORly, thats too much assumption on your part. Your ASSUMING that I'd stay confused for multiple turns and ASSUMING that I'd hit myself rather than you.

Also, I've realized that there's some ambiguity in the rules of this game. We often assume moves with less than perfect accuracy is going to hit, like Hypnosis, Fire Blast and such. If we always assume a move is going to hit, whats stopping me from posting a pokemon with Fissure/Sheer Cold/Guillotine? Or for that matter, what about Mind Read/Sheer Cold Articuno? Is that allowed?

Use the correct format

-Move 1
-Move 2

You need to have EV's and you don't have an item attached.

I don't know much about DP game, but I think this will work.

128def/252hp/128sp.def
-Trick
-Skill Swap

Gives you Sticky Barb while I get your Leftovers. Skill Swap prevents you from Resting. Will-O-Wisp for residual damage. Protect to stall.

Taunt. Tada. Anyways, Swords Dance to beef up a bit and Rock Tomb because if I cant speed this thing up, I'll just slow everyone else down.
