252+ SpA Life Orb Hoopa-U Dark Pulse vs. 120 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 460-541 (123.9 - 145.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Mew would have to be able to switch in safely to be a counter to Hoopa-U, which it obviously can't do.
 
Thanks for pointing out that it had to switch in on the Pokemon!

I edited the post so that Mew can now survive a Dark Pulse from Hoopa-U.
 
Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Destiny Bond
- Shadow Ball

I really don't think this needs any explanation
 
Gengar switches into Transform and has a 50% chance of losing the speed tie. Win chance needs to be greater than 50%.

252 SpA Gengar Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gengar: 332-392 (128.1 - 151.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Sableye @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD

188+ Atk Mew U-turn vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Sableye: 41-49 (13.4 - 16.1%) -- possible 7HKO

0- Atk Mega Sableye Foul Play vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Sableye: 51-60 (16.7 - 19.7%) -- guaranteed 6HKO

U-turn hits so pitifully weak off Mew Sableye can switch in even on a Taunt and just stall it out. If Mew transforms into Sableye it'll lose the stall war since it'll only have 5 pp per a move.

4 Atk Kitsunoh U-turn vs. 248 HP / 48+ Def Cyclohm: 39-47 (9.3 - 11.2%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Flamethrower can kill Kitsunoh before Perish Song activates and Kitsunoh can't defeat Cyclohm with physical moves, even with the chip damage of Will-O-Wisp.
