Politoed @ Damp Rock
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 156 HP / 152 SpA / 200 SpD
Modest Nature

- Hydro Pump
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Ice Beam

This specific Politoed is a good Zard Y counter, as it takes about 40% from Focus Miss and DPulse and severely cuts Solar Beam's power. Meanwhile Hydro Pump OHKOes back. This Politoed is great for rain teams which rely less on hyperoffense (Kabutops) and more on Swift Swim abusers which can tank hits, like Mega Swampert.

Mega Slowbro@Slowbronite
Nature: Bold
Trait: Shell Armor
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 Special Attack

Scald
Slack Off
Calm Mind
Psyshock

Derp...did you just tickle me with those attacks, because I can't feel them at all. *burns Avalugg with Scald and watches it slowly wither away*
 
Umm...this would put Slowbro at 510 EVs, which is impossible. It should be 4 Special Attack instead.
Err, that's actually the exact amount of EVs that a Pokemon can attain. It's not impossible but there is actually no difference between having 4 and 6 EVs, since only every 4 EVs raise the Pokemon's stat.

Anyway...

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- Defog

That should be self-explanatory :p
 
252 + 252 + 4 = 508

But correct, I'm sorry, it is 510, though only 4 EVs are needed to raise a stat by one.

As for your counter, Zeffy.

Swampert @Swampertite/Leftovers
Ability: Torrent ----> Swift Swim (if M-Evolved)
EVs: 240 HP/ 16 Atk/ 252 Def
Nature: Relaxed
Moves: Recover, Scald, Ice Beam, Toxic/Earthquake/Roar

Swampy can wall with its defensive set with Toxic and Recover, also Scald and Ice Beam can provide some residual damage, calculated below.

0 SpA Swampert Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Zapdos: 124-148 (32.2 - 38.5%) -- 2.9% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

0 SpA Swampert Scald vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Zapdos: 84-99 (21.8 - 25.7%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

As for Zapdos...

Thunderbolt does nothing, Swampert is immune.

4 SpA Zapdos Heat Wave vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Swampert: 45-54 (11.1 - 13.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever

I am not kidding, this is what the calc said. Please don't hate :'(
Please don't slash moves and items in. Only 4 moves and one item per set. Slashing in extra moves/items basically makes it impossible to counter some Pokemon.

I'm going to counter using Toxic as you last move and Swampertite as the item:
