murkrow obviously threatens both of these pokes with se STAB attacks. scarf is the better option to beat scraggy after it uses DD. it can only revenge scraggy but thats generally how most of its counteres work anyway (mienfoo sucks at countering scraggy lol). brave bird easily brings down scraggy, so with murkrow scraggy is a nonissue unless you somehow suck at let it get +2. for drifloon, you have two options in either dark pulse or sucker punch. dark pulse would probably be the better option most of the time if onyl because people woudl expect the sp and use destiny bond. even though murkrow dies from that he has effectively beat drifloon. murkrow cannot take a gem acrobat, but can possibly take one without the gem if you predict wrong. before it uses its gem murkrow obviously wins.

ya its not very creative so i might make another post later on this.
Scraggy's +0 Hi Jump Kick vs Murkrow: 109.09 - 127.27%

It can't switch in, and so it doesn't fulfill the stated requirements for being a counter. Also iirc Brave Bird doesn't OHKO Drifloon.
