===Anti-Leads===
Anti-Leads are Pokémon that are used to counter common [[#Leads|Leads]]. These Pokémon may be carrying a [[Choice Scarf]] to outspeed the opposing expected lead and then carry a super-effective attack. An example of a Pokémon like this is {{p|Weavile}}; it is fast, it can {{m|Taunt|taunt}} to prevent hazards and it can also use a combination of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} and {{m|Counter}} to KO opposing leads. {{p|Gengar}} is another example of this, holding a Focus Sash with {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and other moves to disable Pokémon. {{p|Forretress}} can also be considered an anti-lead, as it commonly carries {{m|Gyro Ball}} which is super-effective on leads such as Weavile and {{p|Aerodactyl}}. It can also deal with hazards set up by {{p|Aerodactyl}} with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and can also break Focus Sashes with this move.
