  • Mega Sceptile:
    Counter that Pokemon! (READ THE FREAKING FIRST POST)

    -Substitute
    -Giga Drain
    -Dragon Pulse
    -Focus Blast
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Sceptilite
    Ability: Overgrow

    Knock Off doesn't concern Sceptile thanks to Mega Stone mechanics. As a Grass Pokemon, it's immune to Sleep Powder; also, it 4x resists Giga Drain and Leaf Storm. It can wear Tangrowth down with Dragon Pulse.

    Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spe)
    -Leech Seed
    -Protect
    -Gyro Ball
    -Power Whip

    Since Kyurem is lacking a Fighting type move, Ferrothorn can safely switch into any move Kyurem does (this is the best Kyurem can do):
    56 SpA Teravolt Kyurem-B Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 168 SpD Ferrothorn: 91-108 (25.8 - 30.6%) -- 1.6% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

    And 2HKO it with Gyro Ball:
    0 Atk Ferrothorn Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem-B: 306-362 (78.2 - 92.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

    Adamant nature (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
    -Play Rough

    Best option Druddigon can use is Earthquake:

    Thanks to Azumarill outspeeding Druddy by 2 base points, it can OHKO with Play Rough:

    Gabite @ Choice Band
    Ability: Rough Skin

    EV's: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 Def
    Nature: Jolly

    - Earthquake
    - Outrage
    - Stone Edge
    - Fire Fang

    Resists everything pretty well, Outspeeds Magmar and makes OHKO with Earthquake.
    Best bet for Magmar is Focus Blast, Makes 2HKO.

    252 Atk Choice Band Gabite Earthquake vs. 200 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Magmar: 402-474 (125.2 - 147.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    248+ SpA Magmar Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gabite: 192-227 (69.3 - 81.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
    Gabite doesn't get Fire Fang; only Garchomp does.

    Anyway:

    Clefable:
    Counter that Pokemon! (READ THE FREAKING FIRST POST)

    -Calm Mind
    -Moonblast
    -Fire Blast
    -Soft-Boiled
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Magic Guard

    Clefable avoids the 2HKO from Earthquake and KOs back with Moonblast.

    Aggron @ Aggronite
    Ability: Filter

    EV's: 252 HP/ 240 Def.Sp/ 16 Def
    Nature: Relaxed

    - Stealth Rock
    - Iron Head
    - Ice Punch
    - Earthquake

    Clefable makes a possible 3HKO with Fire Blast. Aggron makes 2HKO with Iron head.

    Problem with that is that Mega Aggron is slower than Clefable, so it dies before it can get off the 2nd Iron Head.
    EDIT: Though, it is only a 47.7% chance to 3HKO, so I suppose it works as a counter, albeit a shaky one.

    Ability: Earthquake
    EVs: 252 HP, 212 Defense, 44 Speed

    Takes little (less than 10%) from Mega Aggron's attacks, then chips away at it with Hydro Pump/Thunderbolt/burn damage.
