How do you counter a Ferrothorn?

Ferrothorn is one of the most used Pokemon in competitive battling so I would like to know what are some of the best ways to counter it (movesets, pokemon, teams etc.)

Umm… What the heck was that about up top?

Anyway, The counter is obvious!

Fire and Fighting.

This being so, Either works, but its easiest to just carry both, or a pokemon with a fire move.

Also, Ferrothorn may have crazy defenses, but his special defense is lower than his Defense, so a good Special Fire type move such as flamethrower will be able to easily wipe him out.

In other words, just have a Special Attacking pokemon , who has atleast 1 fire move, ( Flamethrower is my most reccomended ) And you should be good to go.

Any Fire/fighting types are good counters. Chandelure, Volcarona are all good.

Moveset for Chandelure ishere.

Darmanitanalso works fine as well withBlazikenandInfernape.

Magnet pull magnezon with: Iron Defence + body press

ferrothorn cant do anythn against it as it usually runs Gyro / Power whip which are both weak along with leech seed and another move. It cant escape because of magnet pull, so if you switch in its a 100% kill

+Special Attack Nature Magnezone 252 Special Attack EVs using Hidden Power Fire on Ferrothorn, make sure the ability is Magnet Pull so it cant escape.
