  To be honest, there aren't many. The closest you get are probably Blissey and Chansey (for the record, Blissey gets beaten with SR + Focus Blast and Chansey needs to be fully invested in HP/Special Defense). With prediction, Pokemon like Xerneas and check it.
• LO/Leftovers Counters and checks
  Chansey, Blissey, and other special walls like Florges work fine too really.

Too much to read. -1

Not nearly enough physical Bronzong.

Lol thank you so much Aeternis I spent an hour reading this XD

lol, np

Can this be BA'd now plz :]?

Answer 2

Threat:

Xerneas @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 SAtk/252 Spd/4 HP
Moves:

• Geomany
• Moonblast
• Psyshock
• Thunderbolt/Flash Cannon

Let's get the obvious one out of the way - Power Herb Geomancy Xerneas. The only downside of this is that Xerneas has a better physical move set, but no physical Fairy attack (aka no Play Rough). Anyway, if you let this thing get a Geomancy off, it can tear through entire teams.

Counter:

Excadrill @ Life Orb/Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def OR 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 HP
Moves:

• Iron Head
• Earthquake
• Rock Slide/Stone Edge
• Shadow Claw/Brick Break/Rapid Spin

As a counter, Excadrill is pretty good. It resists all of the moves on special Xerneas, and hits back with a Super-effective STAB Iron Head. Also, a counter is only useful if the Pokemon can also function well in the tier. Considering Excadrill was Ubers in Gen V (I don't know what it is in Gen VI) it can also do some work, and as a bonus is one of the few good Rapid Spinners in the tier.

Comments

Excadrill is OU in Gen VI

ok. it can still counter Xerneas. not that it matters since Aeternis' answer is much better than mine :)
