Lucario (Mega-Lucario)@Lucarionite
Nature: Adamant.
Ability: Inner Focus.
EVs: 252 HP, 252 attack, 4 speed.
Moves:

Earthquake.
ExtremeSpeed.
Power-up Punch.
Blaze Kick.

The story is simple. Lucario mega evolves and goes for Power Up Punch. It leaves Bastidoon with one HP and Bastidoon uses Stone Edge which does around 30%. Lucario then cleans up with any of his moves.

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Roost
- Toxic

It doesn't have to worry about any of Lucario's attacks, as it has enough bulk to endure them. With a couple of Earthquakes, Gliscor should be able to take it down without any sort of trouble. If its health is ever low, it could recover itself instantly with Roost.

Gliscor only 4HKOs Cloyster:

And it doesn't even need to Shell Smash in order to destory Gliscor with Icicle Spear.

Cresselia @ Light Clay
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA

- Reflect
- Light Screen

252 Atk Cloyster Icicle Spear (5 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cresselia: 110-135 (24.7 - 30.4%) -- approx. 100% chance to 4HKO
252 Atk Cloyster Icicle Spear (5 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cresselia through Reflect: 55-65 (12.3 - 14.6%) -- possible 7HKO

Cress can easily come in and tank two Icicle Spears from Cloyster while it sets up Reflect then 2HKO's back with Psychic. Could also just come in and not set screens up and save itself a bit of HP.

252 Atk Mega Garchomp Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Chandelure: 438-516 (167.1 - 196.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Chandelure Hidden Power Ice vs. 100 HP / 52 SpD Mega Garchomp: 312-368 (81.6 - 96.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Mega Garchomp can't outspeed Choice Scarfed Chandelure. It takes over 80% damage from HP Ice on the turn it switches in and gets KO'd on the following turn. So that's a check, not a counter.

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Bronzong resists Stone Edge, Iron Head and Outrage thanks to its Steel typing. Levitate makes it immune to Earthquake.

252 Atk Mega Garchomp Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Bronzong: 78-92 (23 - 27.2%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

4 SpA Bronzong Hidden Power Ice vs. 100 HP / 52 SpD Mega Garchomp: 144-172 (37.6 - 45%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Magnezone@Air Balloon
Trait: Magnet pull.
Nature: Modest.
EVs: 252 special attack, 252 speed, 4 special defense.
Moves:

Hidden Power Fire.
Thunder Bolt.
Flash Cannon.
Magnet Rise.

This set was made to destroy Bronzong. Magnezone easilyout speeds Bronzong and uses Magnet Rise. Bronzong uses Earthquake and sadly misses. Then within four turns the match is up.

4 special Atk Bronzong Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 special Def Magnezone: 11-16 (3.1-4.5%) -- One of the worst moves ever.

252+ SPA Magnezone Hidden Power Fire vs. 242 HP / 0 SpD Bronzong: 112-124 (35-37%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

Note: These are not the actual figures. But they are around the smae number.

Spoiler:


EDIT: I HATE THESE THINGS

but hell, if there is anything kec is it is flexible:

Kecleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Protean
EV's: 248 HP / 8 Att / 252 SpD
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SpA)
- Recover
- Facade
- Sucker Punch
- Dig (lol)

Has to be careful (heheheh) to avoid the burn from scald, but since burn no longer drops your attack if you use Facade, Kec doesn't care too much either way.
Status Facade is a 2hko, Dig is a 2hko (though it is most likely wiser to alternate between sucker punch and recover to be fair)

Lanturn vs Kec:
Scald 19.7 - 23.4%
Thunder 27.1 - 32.4%
Ice Beam 15.1 - 17.9%

will the REAL "showing off long body-parts to gain attention" pokemon please stand up

-Tyrantrum w/Air Balloon
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Strong Jaw (when are they gonna release Rock Head for it?)
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Moves: Stone Edge, Earthquake, Dragon Dance, Ice Fang

Air Balloon is there for Dig and such. All of Kecleon's other attacks only 4HKO at best, while Tyrantrum's Stone Edge is an easy 2HKO. Earthquake will have a chance to OHKO if Kecleon is Digging.

-Talonflame w/Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 92 HP, 252 Attack, 164 Speed
Moves: Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, U-Turn, Roost

Enter Talonflame, the slightly suicidal fire bird that is on every other team you face. Pursuit and Superpower from Mega Scizor only 3HKO, and what happens when Flare Blitz is used is obvious.
