Not many Scarfers outspeed Salamence or are good outside of that...Ice Punch Jirachi is prolly the best bet though but its risking a speed tie. Anything else scarfed is Pursuit bait and should be avoided (Starmie, Latias, Gengar, Jolt etc) because relying on those for your defense is really bad.
The better way in dealing with DD Mence is is fitting something like Scizor or even Mamoswine into you teams to deal with it (CB Bullet Punch KO's after SR + one turn of LO recoil) or just simply luring to Outrage into a steel types. Physically Defensive Rest Talk Gyarados can take an Outrage after Intimidate (even with SR up) and OHKO back with Avalanche. Swampert, Cress and Hippowdon also work at full health, Bronzong and (S.Def) Skarmory do amazing too and of course there is P2 (Trace..) and Weavile but those are terrible otherwise.
As of late, ive found CB Nite to be a cool revenge killer of Mence as CB Extremespeed strips over half its health away which is very useful with SR.
Gyarados can just be walled, you dont need a scarfer for that, just slap HP Electric on a random bulky water or use Rotom or W/E lol.
Remember, the more scarfers you have the more stall weak you are lol.
EDIT :
Crits should not be accounted for. So Quagsire IS a counter and so is Steelix if you run the good nature of Relaxed and can KO Drap back with STAB EQ. Fighting types also own it because Drapion kinda cant do much to them. Torterra is useful too, Duggy is is very useful against it too and Donphan makes a decent check.
