>>23181057Pink Blobs aren't countering Serperior and Mandibuzz just loses to Taunt
Assuming HP Fire, Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Scizor are all out the picture.
Leaving AV Tornadus, Togekiss, Goodra, MVenusaur and MAltaria in hard checks for HP Fire.
Not to mention, Goodra is fucking garbage in OU and so that leaves brings it down to 4 counters that are viable.
Volcarona and Mega Pinsir can't switch in on Leaf Storm + HP Fire with SR up and Celebi is used as setup fodder.
Talonflame loses a bunch of HP switching in with SR up, but regardless, it still checks it
Mega Beedrill can switch in and OHKO, but it's pretty easy to wear down, I wouldn't rely on this to constantly check Serperior.
Pretty much everything but Starmie revenge kills it.
252 SpA Life Orb Starmie Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Serperior: 224-265 (76.9 - 91%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Starmie: 338-398 (129 - 151.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
To narrow everything down, HP Fire Serperiors checks and counters boil down to
>CountersAV Tornadus-T, Togekiss, Heatran, Mega Venusaur, Mega Altaria
>ChecksMega Beedrill and Talonflame
>Revenge killersMega Manectric, Mega Lopunny, Mega Aerodactyl
