Counters

  • FAST MOVE: Charge Beam
  • CHARGED MOVE: Thunderbolt

  • FAST MOVE: Bullet Seed
  • CHARGED MOVE: Solar Beam

sceptile

Sceptile is a very close second to Exeggutor. It doesn't have as high of an Attack stat, but it will attack much faster.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Fury Cutter, Bullet Seed
  • CHARGED MOVE: Leaf Blade

venusaur

Venusaur is also a good counter. It isn't as offensively-focused as Exeggutor or Sceptile, but it is more tank-y. While it may be one-shot by Blizzard, it will be able to take a Hydro Pump or Thunder.

​Here are the moves you'll want:
  • FAST MOVE: Razor Leaf
  • CHARGED MOVE: Solar Beam

jolteon

Jolteon is the best non-Legendary, Electric-type counter. It will deal a fair amount of damage, although it can't take very many hits.

  • FAST MOVE: Thunder Shock
  • CHARGED MOVE: Thunderbolt

Groudon,  Ho-Oh

With Solar Beam, Ho-Oh and Groudon deal a lot of super-effective damage. Be cautious, as Kyogre's movepool is very effective against these Pokémon.

  • FAST MOVE: Mud Shot
  • CHARGED MOVE: Solar Beam

​Here are the moves you'll want on Ho-Oh:
  • FAST MOVE: Extrasensory, Steel Wing

Ampharos and Manectric can be used as Electric-type counters.
