Tapu Fini:

-Calm Mind
-Scald
-Moonblast
-Taunt
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Fini resists all of Clawitzer's moves and can avoid a burn from Scald thanks to Misty Surge summoning Misty Terrain. From there, it can use Clawitzer as setup bait with Calm Mind

Mienshao @ Fightium Z
Ability: Reckless
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP
Adamant Nature
-High Jump Kick
-Rock Slide
-U-Turn
-Protect

Not a counter because Magma Storm has a decent chance to KO Mienshao on the switch-in and if it survives, the residual damage from Magma Storm will finish it off. Bloom Doom also outright KOs it.

Will counter Heatran:

Charizard Y:
006-mega-y.gif

-Fire Blast
-Solar Beam
-Focus Blast
-Dragon Pulse
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Charizardite Y

Mega Charizard Y's typing and surprisingly good special bulk let it wall the entirety of Heatran's moveset, then threaten it with Focus Blast

Chandelure @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 1 Atk
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Fire Blast
- Energy Ball
- Shadow Ball

Dragon Pulse cannot 2hko, while HP Rock OHKOs in return.

Honestly the Zards are pretty hard to counter, but I wanted to post something more creative than some fat tank. So max HP Chandelure lets go

Raikou @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt

Without Specs, Volcanion does not have the power it needs to pick up important KOs and allows Raikou to survive any attack and then outspeed and KO with Thunderbolt.
