>>13848820 I noticed that when I had to choose a Counter user for my
mono-Normal team. The obvious choice is Chansey, but most of my opponents would see the Counter coming, set up while Chansey helplessly uses Toxic or Seismic Toss, then attack and cleanly 1HKO it.
I switched to Clefable, and it got a kill almost every time. Most opponents didn't see the Counter coming and just attacked rather than trying to set up. Even the ones who did set up were still fucked, thanks to Magic Guard + Focus Sash.
