Isn't this a YUCK because

252 SpA Cyclohm Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Altaria: 368-434 (126.4 - 149.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

If it's already Mega Evolved, then it's ok. Do we assume that it's Mega Evolved though?
 
Well, after a lot of work, I think I found a counter to Snake's Cyclohm:

Electivire @ Assault Vest
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 80 SpD / 172 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Wild Charge
- Cross Chop
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch

252+ Atk Electivire Earthquake vs. 68 HP / 0 Def Cyclohm: 202-238 (54 - 63.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Okay, now this gets tricky w/ Cyclohm, because it's using Draco Meteor, which gives it -2 SpA each time (obviously).
Electivire has 292 HP.
252 SpA Cyclohm Draco Meteor vs. 4 HP / 80 SpD Assault Vest Electivire: 135-159 (46.2 - 54.4%) -- 53.1% chance to 2HKO - Max roll: 159
-2 252 SpA Cyclohm Draco Meteor vs. 4 HP / 80 SpD Assault Vest Electivire: 67-79 (22.9 - 27%) -- 42.8% chance to 4HKO - Max roll: 79
-4 252 SpA Cyclohm Draco Meteor vs. 4 HP / 80 SpD Assault Vest Electivire: 45-54 (15.4 - 18.4%) -- possible 6HKO - Max roll: 54
The max rolls add up to 292 HP damage, meaning that for Cyclohm to take down Electivire, it has to max roll with Draco Meteor 3 times in a row.

Cawmodore @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Volt Absorb

- Drain Punch

252+ Atk Electivire Cross Chop vs. 244 HP / 0 Def Cawmodore: 92-109 (30.4 - 36%) -- 47.8% chance to 3HKO

Turn 1: Cawmodore switches in, takes max 36% damage. (100% - 36% = 64% HP)
Turn 2: Cawmodore uses Belly Drum, recovers with a Sitrus Berry, takes max 36% damage. (64% - 50% + 25% - 36% = 3%)
Turn 3: Drain Punch

Assumes no crits, max damage, and no misses
