I love how half of /vp/ never understands that a hard counter must be able to safely switch in at any attack made by the pokémon and not just to at least deal 70% damage in one hit.

>>31254327
Togedemaru is hard checked by landorus-t. Immune to electric attacks, resistant to poison, and you can only wish that electric hedgehog knew a decent steel move. Intimidate also lowers his attack, and earthquake kills it unless it has sturdy, then it dies next turn.

I hope so, I want my wacky wire friend in a (more) balanced tier. Outclassed by memeu koko, so it's only a matter of time.

>Toxapex being a counter to greninja
252 SpA Life Orb Protean Greninja Extrasensory vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Toxapex: 213-252 (70 - 82.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Greninja-Ash Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Toxapex: 120-142 (39.4 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
and thats without specs

>>31269660
Chansey then

Nobody runs protean anymore anyway 2bh
Also, a 3hko via extraesensory isn't a problem for a Pokemon with regenerator

Choice locked psychic move makes it really easy for any dark type to switch into as well.

>3HKO
>Pokemon with Black Sludge, Regenerator and Rcover is supposed to be afraid of a fucking 3HKO

did you just blow in from stupid town?

>>31269725
extraesensory is a 2h KO
>>31269741
Dark pulse being a 3HKO is problematic because one flinch means toxapex is dead, a hard counter is supposed to be able to switch in and win every single time, if pex switches into a dark pulse and then gets flinched on the second it is 100% dead or forced out
With specs its even worse as its a clean 2HKO even with black sludge
252+ SpA Choice Specs Greninja-Ash Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Toxapex: 178-211 (58.5 - 69.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery
