Not really a counter because a Shattered Psyche followed by normal Psychic has the potential to KO. That, and Volcarona naturally outspeeds Zygarde for this chance. If Volcarona Quiver Dances as Zygarde switches in, a boosted Shattered Psyche can either damage it severely, if not OHKO it:

252 SpA Volcarona Shattered Psyche (175 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Zygarde: 205-242 (57.2 - 67.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Volcarona Psychic vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Zygarde: 106-125 (29.6 - 34.9%) -- 12.8% chance to 3HKO

+1 252 SpA Volcarona Shattered Psyche (175 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Zygarde: 306-361 (85.4 - 100.8%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

Countering Volcarona:

-Draco Meteor
-Fire Blast
-Sludge Wave
-Rock Slide
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef

Goodra laughs at anything Volcarona can throw at it, even a boosted Shattered Psyche.
