>>21084381>mamo can ohko with ice shardkden. Lets run that.
-1 244 Atk Choice Band Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Salamence: 312-372 (94.2 - 112.3%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
Not bad, but that's regular salamence. The official site specifically states that salamence gets a "big defence boost".
Making me think it'll break 110.
-1 244 Atk Choice Band Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Salamence: 240-288 (72.5 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
with 110 defence.
244 Atk Choice Band Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Salamence: 360-424 (108.7 - 128%) -- guaranteed OHKO
on the switch in, but fuck it does not like taking that return even from no attack boost.
252 Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mamoswine: 270-318 (75.2 - 88.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
In conclusion: requires a band to do good damage after intimidate. (LO isn't guaranteed, and the moment it runs HP EV's you're fucked). Can be seen four billion miles away (think scarfed lando-t for mega lucario, but worse). Can't switch in for shit if pebbles are down, skarmory will be a top partner for it here, or chansey.
or both.
It's a check, not really a counter. There is no OU counter.
