Important thing that i forgot to address as *tl* of gen 4
It's not uncommon for Gira-O to be run with sun support, which lasts forever in Gen 4 unless you happen to run a counter team
I think it's important for all checks/counters to at least note sun in their calcs, and they should be able to still beat +1 sun gira
I'm not sure how victim of the week would work with this kind of exception, but they at least consider rocks
For example,
+1 252+ Atk Pure Power Giratina-Origin Fire Fang vs. 248 HP / 252 Def Dialga in Sun: 229-270 (56.8 - 66.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Meaning Gira-O wins if it DDances on the switch.
edit: forgot this specific set had spore but its not super reliable as you cant switch in to already +1 gira, or if it gets a turn 3 or earlier wake
