As the permanent last existed on the battlefield, it had a +1/+1 counter on it, so undying will not trigger. If that permanent had a +1/+1 counter on it, then receives enough -1/-1 counters for it to be put into a graveyard due to having 0 toughness or lethal damage marked on it, it won't return to the battlefield despite the state-based action of +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters "cancelling each other out". Undying relies on the last known information about the permanent just before it was put into a graveyard.However, like all tokens, it can't return to the battlefield and will cease to exist as a state-based action before the ability would go on the stack. Tokens can gain undying, and the ability will trigger if a token is put into a graveyard.An object returned to the battlefield with the undying ability is a new object with no memory of its previous existence.Multiple instances of undying trigger separately, but are effectively redundant as only the first instance to resolve will have any effect.Likewise, if a noncreature permanent becomes a creature, gains undying, and is put into a graveyard, the undying ability will still trigger even though that permanent won't be a creature when it returns to the battlefield. If a creature with undying stops being a creature, undying will still trigger. The Rules Rules from the Magic Comprehensive Rules: Putting a +1/+1 counter on a creature with a -1/-1 counter will remove both. All cards printed with undying are creatures.
