@ Blissey:
Gallade @ Expert Belt
Adamant, Steadfast
236 HP/252 Atk/20 Spd
- Close Combat
- Psycho Cut
- Night Slash
- Hypnosis
Neutral to T-bolt on the switch, plus high Sp. Defense, then Hypnosis to prevent Blissey from using Seismic Toss. Close Combat kills it, and Night Slash works against any Ghosts switching into Close Combat.
Edit: I'm ignoring MF_DOOM because I can't even read his post. Plus, it was in response to my Zard and the moveset has bad coverage anyway. ;o

Resists all of your moves but Ice Fang, but only does a max of 28% after using Metalkid's calc. Proceeds to kill with either SE Gyro Ball or Stone Edge.

thats not a counter. i can trick room, then hypnosis you, taking you out of the match. i can also earthquake you, doing around 80% damage
Anyway, Bronzong:
Suicune @ Leftovers

Comes in on anything he wants, absorbs Hypnosis, and can kill it with Surf.

@Suicune:
Porygon2 @ Leftovers
Calm, Trace
252 Hp, 200 Sa, 58 Sd
~Charge Beam
~Ice Beam
~Recover
~Tri-Attack
Since Suicune kinda sucks offensively, I pull out a moderately defensive tank to alternate Charge Beam and Recover to beat you in the end, and end up with some nice Sa boosts.

Shedinja @ Focus Sash
Adamant, Wonder Guard
- X-scissor
- Swords Dance
- Heal Block
- Will-o-Wisp
Shedinja laffs at all three of your attacks and can Heal Block Recover. It then proceeds to murder you with X-scissor.

Blech. Shedinja is broken in the counter game, and useless in the real game. :P
Togekiss @ Leftovers
Bold, Serene Grace
252 Hp, 152 Sa, 104 De
~Psycho Shift
~Air Slash
~Aura Sphere
~Thunder Wave
I'll use the novelty move Psycho Shift to make you kill yourself (indirectly), or Air Slash otherwise. I take little to no damage from X-Scissor, as I have a resistance, and a nature boost.

Starmie @ Expert Belt
Modest
252 SpA / 252 Spd / 4 HP
- Surf
- TBolt
- Ice Beam
- Recover
STAB surf for Flareon, Bolt/Beam for Togekiss, should outspeed both and OHKO with Expert Belt (and no, I would never use this on Starmie outside of this)

Lol that starmie waa just asking for lanturn to make an apearance :o
On a fire type with 3 fire type moves? Too obvious, where's the fun in that? That's almost like countering Starmie with Lanturn. . .
@Lady Lyndis' Lanturn:
Sceptile @ Leftovers
Overgrow, Jolly
252 Sp, 252 At, 6 De, 0 Hp IV
~Leech Seed
~Substitute
~Protect
~X-scissor
Comes in on two resistances, Seeds, Subs, and does some Lefties/Leech Seed stalling. The low Hp means that I'm gaining a higher percentage of Hp, good with Sub.

Curse
Rest
Rock Slide
Crunch
Your attacks do very little with t-tar's massive 492 sp.def and he can curse 2 or 3 times, and begin a beat down. Rock Slide over SE for better accuracy and more PP.
