No, actually he is right I forgot solid rock FACEPALM.. it have low sp.defense so it seems weird.. well we won't go as far at that, will we?
ok..

@bastidon not sure if it counters but seems legit let's just continue...

Base 48 sp.attack lol.. even SE it wouldn't do too much

1) Moltres still beats it regardless.
2) I used Smogon Calculator for that calc because the damage calculator I usually use...I can't use because I'm using a different computer and I need to install some stuff and the computer will lag like crazy. But yeah, Bastiodon beats it.

(though rhyperior is technically still the poke to beat. chidori, your calcs are also wrong. theres no way moltres hp fighting(a 70 base move) 2hkoes with solid rock. without chople berry too. rhyperior is a well-known counter to moltres in uu. rock blast ohkoes(hits on average 4 times), and walls/koes any moltres that dont carry hp grass. even with hp grass, i believe its a 2hko

You're forgetting that Moltres has high SAtk while Rhyperior has insanely low SDef. You switch in, chopple berry activates and then Moltres goes again.

[That Crazy Russian™]

you are forgetting solid rock, which reduces all supereffective damage to 1/4 of what it normally would be.

No point arguing about something a page ago even if I was right.

Heracross@Occa Berry
252Atk/4SDef/252Spe
Adamant
Swarm
-Megahorn
-Close Combat
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Megahorn or Close Combat OHKO it. Fire Blast gets rid or 58% on switch in then Heracross outspeeds and KOs it.

[Blue Harvest]

Rhyperior is avoids the 2HKO by HP Fighting only 68.75% of the time. Rhyperior must also hit with Rock Blast on the first try meaning it only has a 61.87% chance of countering Moltres. So no, Rhyperior does not work.

[That Crazy Russian™]

darn. well, its a close counter :P

im not sure how heracross fares against a draco meteor. can you provide calcs for the one who is crippled(internet-wise)?

regardles(or just in case),

[Blue Harvest]

Max 91% damage with Draco Meteor.

You switch in, take a Draco Meteor, then die another hit. Hydreigon is faster with those EVs. Not even close to a counter.

Hydreigon is still the poke to counter.

[That Crazy Russian™]

zen it works!

4x resists everything golem can throw at it. hits back with an aura sphere and ohkoes. (doesnt state if its sturdy :P ha!)

[Blue Harvest]

No it doesn't work.

T1
Heracross switches in.
Hydreigon Draco Meteors.

T2
Hydreigon Draco Meteors again.
Heracross is dead, and obviously not a counter.

Outspeed you by 2 points.

Hydreigon is still the poke to counter.

Dang, I would've outspeed if I chose Jolly instead of Adamant, huh?
