I need a pokemon that counters Gyarados and SD Lucario, and one that can preferably absorb status as well. Right now I'm using a resttalk Gyarados but the problem with this is that I have trouble with other Gyarados using stone edge (as well as the occasional Lucario packing stone edge, but I'll chance that if I have to). Any suggestions?
 
Check both their counters sections, but off the top of my head, I think a defensively EV'd Zapdos could do it. I normally deal with Lucario with either a CB Breloom or Gengar using hypnosis, so I'm not intimately familiar with dealing with both with the same pokemon. The Zapdos should probably be a rest-talker.

Shut up in advance to everyone who replies to tell me that CB Breloom is stupid; it works for me, I just make sure to switch it into Toxic, or else it's pretty mediocre.
 
Well first of all I think next time you might want to try the simple question/simple answer thread, although I suppose this could lead to some sort of a discussion. For your request, it's pretty difficult to find a pokemon that can take on SDLucario with Crunch and SDLucario with Stone Edge that isn't Gliscor. Celebi does a pretty decent job of taking both Gyarados and Lucario, although I wouldn't really call her the surest counter for either. Gyarados isn't really too tough to counter - maybe you have a pokemon on your team already that you could just stick HP Electric onto?
 
One word: Weezing.

He can't exactly take too many boosted Waterfalls but can definately threaten Gyarados with Thunderbolt.

Weezing can at least counter Physical Lukes easily with Will-O-Wisp and Flamethrower backed up with it. I think Weezing is a more solid counter than Gliscor is to Luke (Hidden Power Ice does ruin Gliscor a bit).
 
I think Zapdos could work. And I could always put HP electric on my Vaporeon, but I would have to drop either surf or icebeam, and I would rather not drop either of those 2 moves.

Next time I'll use the q/a thread, I didn't know about it.

Edit: weezing counters both of them, but I also wanted a resttalker. I guess he could do that as well.
