You piss off back to Showderp.

What are blood totem and shrekle

The entire point of funbro is that you can't outright counter it. Block stops that entirely. Unless you want to run shed skin klefki or U-turn on all your supports, the best you can do is switch out when you see slowbro.

>Countering funbro
It's purpose is too keep you alive as long as possible. Why do you need a counter?

Otherwise, Taunt.

Wait Blood Totem is a troll set?

I just thought it was what we called Sigilyph. From back when we called everything BLOOD something or other.

Also
>Shrekle
Contrary Shell Smash is better, nobody runs Shrekle except Showderp.

Doesn't it just transfer burn to you with psycho shift?

How is that any more dangerous than literally ANYTHING running Will-O-Miss?

That's great and all until it encounters a poison type or most of all a substitute. At least Shrekle can attack.

Shrekle is a joke attacker, he has zero bulk and atrocious speed. The entirety of the set is based on hoping that Acupressure will boost your evasion to trollworthy levels, allowing you to actually do damage with Power Trick.

Contrary Shuckle is a wall. Yes, it relies on toxic, yes you can shut it down with Taunt. So what? Same is true of SubProtect Gliscor and he does great all the same.

When they bring out Funbro, you're down to your last Pokemon anyways. And it's behind a Sub.

Blood totem hates Clefable with similar set. It usually carries calm mind alongside cosmic power and can just outdamage/outtank you enough to force a switch. I've had to start running whirlwind and weakness policy instead of flame orb and psycho shift so I can blow it away after it starts setting up. You can actually kill it if they chargebeam/shadowball you, but otherwise its a stalemate until they eventually kill you.
Other than fable, anything with taunt shits on it obviously. Punishment hurts, but nothing really carries it.

Last time this happened I whirlwinded him then switched. Normally you could still pass the burn onto it before switching. Doesn't completely shut him down but atleast its something.

Immune to status, 100% hit burn, removes its bird typing while restoring health, calm minding forever, some sort of an attack to make things hyper frustrating.

A slowbro with a PP Berry and Recycle to regain the Berry, Block to keep the opponent from switching, Slack Off to heal itself... and Heal Pulse. So that even if the opponent runs out of PP themselves, they can never truely die. It Recycles, eats it's berry, and when the opponent starts to struggle to death, Heal Pulse keeps them in.

It's basically a trollset to force a ragequit.

use a dark type for blood totem. stored power and psycho shift don't work. Alternatively, don't let it set up. It's completely predictable.

shuckle isn't that tough as long as you don't let it set up. or run taunt.

now run back to showderp

No that's you.
Blissey is MUCH weaker to physical attacks than slowbro is to special attacks.
All of blisseys defense is special while slowbro look fairly balanced defensibly by comparison.

After 2 calm minds it has a 100 base power STAB attack. At 6 calm minds, it's 260 base power.

But more importantly, it can just shift burn to other things and attack what it can't burn, while being super defensive.

Only things that mess it up is Dark taunter, taunting early in it's setup, and Houndoom.

Standard sigilyph with any modicum of setup (see 1, maybe 2 cms) can burn stall a hydreigon.

It's got the bulk.
