Hi, as I searched throw the OU Resouces I never saw anything to help with Checks and Counters. So I went onto Smogon and looked at the Strategy Pokedex and on the OU Chat Room in Showdown and asked a few people and this is what I found. If you have any suggestions reply them, I hope you liked it and it helps!
