The best Moltres can do is 4HKO Tyranitar with HP Grass (thanks to Sandstorm, its Sp. Def increases) and a Stone Edge is an OHKO.

Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252hp/252atk/4def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
-High Jump Kick
-Knock Off
-Ice Punch
-Zen Headbutt

Scrafty needs Intimidate in order to safely switch into Mamoswine otherwise it will take more than half and Mamo can outspeed to OHKO Scrafty. Since Intimidate reduces Earthquake from a 2HKO to a 3HKO, Scrafty can take two Earthquakes and OHKO with a High Jump Kick.

-1 244 Atk Life Orb Mamoswine Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Scrafty: 125-148 (37.4 - 44.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

252+ Atk Scrafty High Jump Kick vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mamoswine: 438-516 (121.3 - 142.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Without Intimidate (for those curious):
244 Atk Life Orb Mamoswine Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Scrafty: 187-222 (55.9 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

i totally did not use scrafty as a counter because it's my favourite pokemon.

Oh and did I mention this prankster has become one of my favorite pokemon recently?

Kinda overkill, but Mega Aero avoids an OHKO from all of Roserade's moves, then shreds it with it's choice of Stone Edge, Fire Fang, or Aerial Ace, all of which OHKO.

The first two moves cripple it, while the last two hit for super-effective damage. Also, Grass resists Ground-type moves.
Boilurn, the Scald Pokemon and the evolved form of Hottle. It can burn the holder by the lightest of touches when it boils. It can boil 3 gallons of water in one minute.

-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.
