Counter That Pokemon! EXTREME EDITION ZOMG CAN WE HANDLE IT
What's up CAPpers! This thread is an expansion upon the gen6 CAP Yum or Yuck thread with one important rule change: the Pokemon that you post must be able to counter the two previous Pokemon posted. You post only one mon at a time, just like always. I have no idea how we're going to be able to handle this thread, but I'm bored so let's give it a try!

For example, let's say I start off the thread by posting a set for Physically Defensive Cyclohm and Flame Orb Colossoil. cbrevan can respond by posting a set for Kerfluffle. Cbrevan's Kerfluffle counters the initial Cyclohm and Colossoil (YUM), so the next person needs to post a counter to the Kerfluffle set and the Colossoil set, and so on. If no one can come up with a counter for a certain pair of threats, I'll reset the game after a few days. In this thread, you can be as creative as you want, just keep in mind that posting a weird/unviable set might be really easy for the next person to counter. All Pokemon legal in CAP and OU are fair game!

There are just a few rules

1. If two people respond to a threat at the same time, the first one to post takes priority. Or, if the first poster doesn't actually counter the threat (YUCK), the first one to post with a real counter takes priority, and their Pokemon becomes the next threat to counter.
2. FOCUS SASH IS BANNED - Hopefully this is self-explanatory; this item gives freedom to many Pokemon to defeat a bunch of mons they wouldn't normally counter. So please don't submit mons with Focus Sash.
3. The ability to win must be greater than 50%, preferably much higher. If your mon relies on hitting multiple Focus Blasts in a row or Zap Cannon or something, it won't be counted.
4. Don't make reservation posts. This is a somewhat fast-paced project, so take the time to make an actual post if you're going to post.
5. Don't post terribly unviable sets for the sake of posting terribly unviable sets. It goes against the spirit of this project, as it requires next to no thought for the next poster to counter the mon, and it doesn't teach us any relevant information about the metagame. I'm completely fine with niche or lesser used mons being used, but not intentional garbage mons (use your judgement).
6. Please please post calcs unless we'll dealing with a 4x SE attack or something else ridiculously obvious like a 2x SE fire attack in the sun.

It's my hope that this thread will be entertaining for all and foster some potential ideas for teambuilding. Let's get started!

Kyurem-Black @ Life Orb
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Mild Nature
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Fusion Bolt
- Roost


You take any hits from Krilowatt and hit back hard with Earth Power and Teravolt fucks Shedinja lol.

252 SpA Life Orb Krilowatt Surf vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kyurem-Black: 77-91 (19.6 - 23.2%) -- possible 5HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Krilowatt Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kyurem-Black: 77-91 (19.6 - 23.2%) -- possible 5HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Krilowatt Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kyurem-Black: 103-122 (26.3 - 31.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Krilowatt Earth Power vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kyurem-Black: 103-122 (26.3 - 31.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Teravolt Kyurem-Black Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Krilowatt: 338-400 (76.1 - 90%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
 


Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip


Ferrothorn can get rid of Shedinja really easily just by using leech seed and if it decides to attack it will die to iron barbs.
It also does take very well care of Kyurem-B by using gyro ball

- 0 Atk Ferrothorn Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Kyurem: 372-440 (95.1 - 112.5%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
- 252 SpA Life Orb Kyurem Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 168 SpD Ferrothorn: 146-173 (41.4 - 49.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

Pyroak @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Lava Plume
- Giga Drain
- Earth Power
- Synthesis

Pyroak avoids the 2HKO from LO Ice Beam and stays healthy with Synthesis, so it beats Kyurem-B (eventually, w/ Lava Plume).
Pyroak is a Fire-type, so it beats Ferrothorn.
252+ SpA Life Orb Teravolt Kyurem-Black Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Pyroak: 153-181 (34.5 - 40.8%) -- 57.3% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Pyroak Lava Plume vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kyurem-Black: 91-108 (23.2 - 27.6%) -- 68.9% chance to 4HKO

0 Atk Ferrothorn Gyro Ball (97 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Pyroak: 48-57 (10.8 - 12.8%) -- possibly the worst move ever
0 SpA Pyroak Lava Plume vs. 252 HP / 168 SpD Ferrothorn: 252-300 (71.5 - 85.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
wtf pyroak learns spdef?
 
Volcarona Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Roost

Volcarona sets up all over the pyroak and will eventually beat it, and can roost making pyroak's attempts to stop the sweep futile.
Volcarona beats ferro 1v1, 4x super effective fiery dance will get it :P
