Arceus-rock (check)
Arceus-Rock @ Stone Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Judgment
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
Rockceus is a very solid check to life orb yveltal as it has a big advantage vs yveltal due to its typing. None of yveltal's moves can ohko while rockceus has 18% chance of ohko'ing yveltal with a single judgment. Rockceus is a very useful mon in ORAS as it can check top threats like ho-oh, salamence etc.
Calculations:
252+ SpA Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Arceus-Rock: 216-255 (48.6 - 57.4%) -- 93.4% chance to 2HKO
72 Atk Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Sucker Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Arceus-Rock: 172-203 (38.7 - 45.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

One little question - your set says 80 Atk, while in your calc you used 80 HP. Which one is it?
Oops, my mistake. Corrected it now

Arceus-Ghost
Counter
Arceus-Ghost @ Spooky Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Judgment
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Defog / Calm Mind
Arceus-Ghost takes very little from any attack which Mewtwo throws at it, most notably being immune to its strongest STAB move, Low Kick. Judgment hits it back hard, and if Mewtwo does not Taunt it, it can burn it with Will-O-Wisp or Recover off damage. Defog is an extra move which is not necessary, but offers support otherwise, while Calm Mind can offer a lot more offensive potential, pressuring the opponent more beyond merely countering Mewtwo. Not much to say here really.

Aegislash as a Check
Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- King's Shield
- Toxic
- Gyro Ball
- Shadow Ball
Aegislash resists all of M-Mewtwo X's moves and can 2HKO back with Shadow Ball. If M-Mewtwo X doesn't use Taunt (best case scenario), Aegislash can then effciently check it with a combination of King Shields and Shadow Balls. However, if it does use Taunt (which will happen most of the time, if not always), Aegislash has two options: stay in and KO M-Mewtwo X (taking a big amount of damage in the process) or switch out after the first Shadow Ball to complete its job later (or to let a teammate do so). In all cases, M-Mewtwo X is KOed and Aegislash lives to tell the tale.

Xerneas @ Leftovers
Trait: Fairy Aura
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Aromatherapy
Xerneas can avoid the 2HKO from any move and OHKO back with Moonblast. Rest + Sleep Talk means you are not helpless while sleeping while Aromatheraphy cures status (including Sleep if selected by Sleep Talk)
Calculations:
252 Atk Mega Mewtwo X Zen Headbutt vs. 248 HP / 252 Def Xerneas: 144-169 (31.6 - 37.1%) -- 82.7% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

Jirachi, Counter
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 224 SpD / 32 Spe
Careful Nature
- Wish
- Body Slam / Thunder Wave
- Iron Head
- Protect / U-Turn / Toxic
Taken right from the Jirachi analysis and is fairly easy to use. Jirachi takes very little damage from every move Mewtwo can throw at him and can retaliate with Body Slam and Iron Head. It is a rather slow matchup as Mewtwo can just continuously Taunt Jirachi to remove his option to recover, but Jirachi doesn't really care as he's threatning enough as it is.
Jirachi will easily lose if Mewtwo carries EQ, tho, so watch out/ scout for that
Calcs:
252 Atk Mega Mewtwo X Low Kick (20 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jirachi: 45-54 (11.1 - 13.3%)
252 Atk Mega Mewtwo X Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jirachi: 54-64 (13.3 - 15.8%)
252 Atk Mega Mewtwo X Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jirachi: 73-86 (18 - 21.2%) -- possible 7HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Mega Mewtwo X Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jirachi on a critical hit: 109-129 (26.9 - 31.9%) -- 39.7% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Jirachi Body Slam vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Mewtwo X: 62-73 (17.5 - 20.6%)
0 Atk Jirachi Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Mewtwo X: 87-103 (24.6 - 29.1%) -- 99.9% chance to 4HKO
