Defensive Chesnaught as a counter
Chesnaught @ Leftovers
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Wood Hammer

Chesnaught is easily able to switch in against Araquanid due to its bulk and typing, and the only thing it'd hate from dealing with it is being statused from Toxic.
Calcs:
216+ Atk Splash Plate Water Bubble Araquanid Liquidation vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Chesnaught: 74-88 (19.5 - 23.2%) -- possible 6HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Chesnaught Wood Hammer vs. 96 HP / 0 Def Araquanid: 147-174 (48.8 - 57.8%) -- 95.7% chance to 2HKO
0 Atk Chesnaught Wood Hammer vs. 96 HP / 0 Def Araquanid: 147-174 (48.8 - 57.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after 3 layers of Spikes
