4 SpA Mollux Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 144+ SpD Gastrodon: 56-66 (13.1 - 15.4%) -- possibly the worst move ever. Gastrodon can boost easy and kill mollux ez
+1 0 Atk Gastrodon Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mollux: 448-532 (113.7 - 135%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+1 0 Atk Gastrodon Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Volkraken: 332-392 (97 - 114.6%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
 
Mantine @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Toxic
- Roost
- Scald
- Air Slash

Gastrodon literally cannot touch Mantine, as Water Absorb takes care of Scald and the Flying Type prevents damage from EQ (And since it takes no damage, no need to Roost, which would be the only way Gastro can hit Mantine with EQ). Mantine easily takes it down with Toxic + Air Slash.

As for Volkraken, Hydro Pump does nothing, thanks to Water Absorb, Fire Blast and HP Ice are resisted, and Mantine only takes ~36% max from Power Gem. Switching in on a Power Gem, Mantine takes a second, bringing it to ~28% max health, from which it Roosts back up to ~78% minimum health. From there, a combination of Toxic stall, Roost, and Air Slash does Volkraken in. Yay stall!

252 SpA Volkraken Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mantine: 52-62 (13.9 - 16.5%) -- possible 7HKO
252 SpA Volkraken Power Gem vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mantine: 102-122 (27.2 - 32.6%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252 SpA Volkraken Hidden Power Ice vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mantine: 39-46 (10.4 - 12.2%) -- possible 9HKO
-
Most of the damage should be coming from Toxic stall, but for those curious:
0 SpA Mantine Air Slash vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Volkraken: 67-81 (19.6 - 23.7%) -- possible 5HKO
0 SpA Mantine Air Slash vs. 252 HP / 144+ SpD Gastrodon: 61-73 (14.3 - 17.1%) -- possible 9HKO after Leftovers recovery

Hold up fellas, Broken Phobias screwed up with his Scarf Volkraken a couple posts ago. Scarf Volkraken does not counter Jay's Physically Defensive Mollux. First off, the calc provided isn't correct as its for a Modest Scarf Volkraken whilst the provided set is Timid. 252 SpA Volkraken Power Gem vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Mollux: 172-204 (43.6 - 51.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery: Volkraken would be koed by the oddly defensive Mollux before it could kill it. Additionally, the original calc would have been invalid as well due to it being a 37.9% chance to 2HKO, so factoring in the turn the Modest Scarf Volkraken would have taken to switch into Mollux, it would have won less than 50% of the time. If it can't win 50% of the time, it can't be counted as a counter in this thread. Sorry guys, but the verdict is you can't counter the Mollux with the Volkraken, although I'm still not sure how someone didn't catch that earlier considering the Pokemon in question.

TL;DR: Scarf Volkraken is YUCK.

Calcs have Modest, set has Timid, yuck
 
Fuck I forgot that I changed the nature in the Calc.

Thanks for the reminder, since I was planning on using Modest Tomohawk > Timid Tomohawk.

EDIT: Shouldn't have ran Modest, it gets outsped by Heatran upon switch-in, leaving it to KO Tomohawk in an instant with its Fire STAB. So I'm going to re-edit the calcs with Timid Offensive Hawk.

EDIT 2: Fucked up and forgot to change the nature on the set, changed that, SORRY FOR THE CONCERNS

Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
- Slack Off

Cyclohm is only 4HKOed by Krilowatt's Ice Beam/Earth Power, so it stays healthy with Slack Off + Leftovers and 4HKOes back with Thunderbolt. Cyclohm will have to PP stall Mega Venusaur (unless Ice Beam freeze), and it's able to do so since 16 Slack Offs + Leftovers recovery is more than enough to survive all of Mega Venusaur's attacks.

Also, Cyclohm will never get screwed over by Ice Beam freezes, Earth Power drops, or Sludge Bomb poisons thanks to Shield Dust :pimp:
252 SpA Krilowatt Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Cyclohm: 132-156 (31.4 - 37.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

The memetran strikes again! I just want to say, it was almost impossible to find something that beats Banded Kyurem-Black and Cyclohm, due to KyuB's raw power.

Cussing heck, that was hard. HP Ground by itself was just not cuttin' it with Heatran, even with the magic, miracle scenario of Choice Specs in an already set up Trick Room, only having a 50% to OHKO the Tran. So of course Z-moves popped into my head. And so now we have this monstrosity.
Start with Trick Room, and proceed to OHKO both Kyurem and... MEMEtran.

Seriously. This is just stupid.
 
Yuck at both of the previous posts.

Heatran: If Heatran is outsped and 2HKOed on the switch, it never gets to attack. That's not a counter, it's a check.

Magearna: If Magearna is outsped and 2HKOed on the switch, it never gets to attack. That's not a counter, it's a check. Furthermore, Groundium Z does not work with Hidden Power, a Normal-type move.

Cleanly 3hkoed by both both band users and OHKOs in return. Air Balloon forces Excadrill into Iron Head if it wants to have a chance at denting it, and Rock Head prevents Aggron from killing itself in its matchup against Kyurem-B.
