Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Knock Off

The first two moves cripple it, while the last two hit for super-effective damage. Also, Grass resists Ground-type moves.
 
Mega Sceptile:

-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.
 
Mega Altaria
Ability: Pixilate
Nature: Modest

Hyper Voice
Fire Blast
HP Ground
Roost

252Hp/252SpAtk

I think there is no explanation needed.

EVs: 252hp/88def/168spd
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spe)
-Leech Seed

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

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:
[PokeCommunity.com] 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

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.
