There's other counters, Terrakion and Scizor can both ignore evasion and are passable in Ubers, but Miracle Eye Mewtwo just seems obvious to me.
puregenius said it, I'll just rephrase it a bit: why waste a moveslot on a move such as Miracle Eye or Foresight, when you can use that slot for a move that can actually do damage and be accurate at the same time? Thunder is a common sight in Ubers, and Kyogre is still the "king" of the tier, so firing them off should not be a problem at all. And yes, Sacred Sword Terrakion will definitely see a rise with Evasion clause lifted, but it's definitely better than Miracle Eye Mewtwo.

Also puregenius, I'm not sure that OHKO moves aren't affected by Evasion boosting moves; they are not affected by Accuracy raising moves for sure though.
