I was very tempted to nominate Scarf Aurorus, but instead I'm sticking with my guns and nominating the same mon as last week
I will be nominating Silvally-Dragon as a
check Counter to Torterra
Silvally-Dragon @ Dragon Memory
Ability: RKS System
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam
- Defog/Surf/Flamethrower
- Parting Shot/U-turn
Silvally Dragon easily outspeeds an unboosted torterra and ohko's it 100% of the time with Ice Beam. That in tandem with its ability to survive any move torterra uses and even a solid chance to live through 2 hits makes Silvally-Dragon a counter against Torterra, even being able to safely defog if both switched in simultaneously. However Silvally-Dragon can't switch in on an already rock polished Torterra, take an earthquake, or bloom doom, and live the next hit guaranteed, although it does have a good chance to live. However if it comes in for free it will always beat Torterra
Alternatively you could tack some extra defense on to dragonvally to make him able to come in on a +2 speed torterra's earthquake (76 Def guarantees it lives 2 hits), as long as his special attack stays above 152, to guarantee an ohko, however this takes away from dragonvally's offensive presence, which I personally don't recommend
(I originally nominated it as a check as it cant switch in on a +2 spe earthquake or bloom doom and live 2 hits guaranteed, but I was a dummy, and it is a counter)
