Welcome to the first victim of the week thread here on Serebii. Each week we will pick a top tier threat and you guys will post different checks and counters for said pokemon. The top three counters and top three checks will be saved and moved to the index of the next weeks thread. This will be closed at the end of each week and indexed in the following weeks first post. Be sure to vote for what you want next weeks threat to be.
Rules
- Please use the following form when nominating a counter or check
-name of the pokemon
-check or counter
-a description of why its a check/counter
-a set that works against the victim of the week, be viable
-Know the difference between a check and counter
Pokémon A checks Pokémon B if Pokémon A can win every time when switching into at least one of Pokemon B's attacks, without factoring in hax.
Pokémon A counters Pokémon B if Pokémon A can manually switch into Pokémon B and still win every time, even under the worst case scenario, without factoring in hax.
- Don't nominate a revenge killer
-If someone is wrong, explain why in a polite mannor
Week 1
Landorus (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast
- Calm Mind
Landorus Incarnate was such a powerful threat last generation, it was banned due to it being able to tag perfectly with Tyranitar and Keldeo. Landorus returns to OU and is still a nightmare to come into. With its raw power, most things are 2hkoed by Landorus and with a Calm Mind under its belt, the few things that avoided a 2hko are now, allowing it to muscle through stall teams without a lot of effort.
