How to counter sylveon ?
Sylveon has very few weaknesses, good special def, and fairy is super effective to fighting, dark, and dragon, (which are basically all my offensive pokemon types....)
What pokemon do you guys suggest would go well against sylveon + which moves ? (Moonblast you mofo)

Ferrothorn laughs at it.
Send out a bulkyish pokemon w/ recovery move and set it up on sylveon. Then run rampant thru their team. On aggron for example get a few automizes then rage through their team. I have had sp.def goodra's actually tank a moonblast and get running.
Wobbuffet. Works every time. They have nothing that can really hurt Wobbuffet that I know of.
I use a Speed Garchomp with Iron head for my fairy kills. <3
For fairy types, I generally send out my multiscale Dragonite with the item Weakness Policy. I use Dragon Dance for that speed boost, and after they hit me with a fairy move I'm at 2.5x attack and 1.5x speed. Earthquake or Fire Punch then deal a lot of damage. Unless Sylveon invested in DEF, it's a OHKO. Otherwise, it's 2HKO
Another option is Gengar with sludge bomb, which severely dents Sylveon. (Mega Gengar 2HKO's on a calm, 252 HP/Sp.DEF Sylveon. Regular Gengar 2HKOs a calm, 252 HP 0 Sp.DEF Sylveon).
Of course, you can also pretty much use any physical attacker. Most do a lot of damage. Examples: Scizor with bullet punch has a chance to OHKO a 252 HP/DEF when using choice band. Adamant Salamence against a 252 HP/DEF has a high chance of 2HKOing with earthquake and a choice band. Garchomp guarantees OHKO on a 252 HP/DEF when using a Life Orb.
just hit it with any strong physical that it isn't resistance too.
My jolly salamance usually just OHKO them with an earthquake.
i use Haxorus for my fairy killing. Sylveon max speed is 123 while Haxorus is 163.
Moveset for my Haxorus is: Dragon Dance,Poison Jab,Dragon claw,Earthquake.
If its not a fairy/ice type i use Dragon dance first off then sweep the team and easily cuts through all fairies. Yes, even steel fairies like Mawile who are not weak to poison.
SD scizor can use non hp fire variants to set up on. Most physical steel types are ideal for countering sylveon. Aegislash is probably the best if you're not running sd/king's shield and have room for iron head
It's weak to poison and steel, so pick anything with access to a physical move from either. Iron head or cross poison come to mind. It would help to know your team
