Fast Registeel done!

Registeel @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 28 Def / 164 Spe
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Iron Defense
- Amnesia
- Body Press
- Rest

This Registeel has 301 HP. Each turn, it gains 18 HP from Leftovers.

 MATCHUPS
Turn 1-2: Flamethrower vs Amnesia x2
Turn 3-5: Flamethrower vs Rest/Sleep x3
Turn 6: Flamethrower vs Iron Defense (ID)
Turn 7-8: Flamethrower vs Body Press (BPress) x2
8 turns of crit chance from Flamethrower
4 turns of burn chance from Flamethrower (You don't care you getting burned when you click Rest, and you can't be burned at the turn you wake up as you are slower)
Win chance: (23/24)^8 * (9/10)^4 = 0.46676984596
(You should probably dump more EVs to HP / SpD to fix this horrible win chance)
Walking Wake > Registeel:
Ignore the wrong HP EVs I'm too lazy to fix
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Flamethrower vs. 44 HP / 0+ SpD Registeel: 152-180 (48.7 - 57.6%) -- 51.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Flamethrower vs. +2 44 HP / 0+ SpD Registeel: 78-92 (25 - 29.4%) -- guaranteed 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Flamethrower vs. +4 44 HP / 0+ SpD Registeel: 52-62 (16.6 - 19.8%) -- possible 7HKO

Registeel receives 180+92+62 = 334 damage at the first 3 turns
334 < 301 + 18 * 2 (337)
Registeel receives 62*6 = 372 damage for the subsequent 6 turns
372 < 301 + 18 * 5 (391)

Registeel > Walking Wake:
+2 28 Def Registeel Body Press vs. 88 HP / 0 Def Walking Wake: 181-213 (50.1 - 59%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
If Earthquake (EQ):

Turn 8: BPress
If Trick:
Turn 1: IDef vs Trick
Turn 2-3: BPress vs EQ x2

If Earthquake (EQ):
7 turns of crit chance from Earthquake
Win chance: (23^24)^7 = 0.74236272991

Ignore the wrong HP EVs I'm too lazy to fix again

272 < 301 + 18 * 2
Registeel receives 64*5 = 320 damage for the subsequent 5 turns
320 < 301 + 18 * 4

Registeel > Metagross:
+6 28 Def Registeel Body Press vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Metagross: 266-313 (73.6 - 86.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

5 turns of crit chance, 4 turns of burn chance (You dun care whether you get burned at turn 2)
Win chance: (23/24)^5 * (9/10)^4 = 0.53033832092
Again, you can greatly improve this odds by investing more in HP / SpD.

Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Earthquake
- Endure
- Play Rough
- Gunk Shot
This team is hard to break for me, i had the ideas of gren and clod who work on paper but then both lose to a singular interaction (gren cant kill wake without giving up the kill on sylv and vise versa, clod can survive meta but trick shenagins break it; these are only my assumptions tho so maybe they can win.)

Anyways calcs

252+ Atk Donphan Play Rough vs. 88 HP / 0 Def Walking Wake: 222-262 (61.4 - 72.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(Eq also works ig)
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Snarl vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Donphan: 123-145 (38.3 - 45.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
(does enough damage to where custap activates even with lowest roll, this is also why endure is there)

252+ Atk Donphan Earthquake vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Metagross: 270-320 (74.7 - 88.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

220+ Atk Choice Band Metagross Heavy Slam (100 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Donphan: 232-274 (72.2 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(Trick is a death sentence, and endure ensures what ever meta clicks sends you to custap)

252+ Atk Donphan Gunk Shot vs. 80 HP / 200 Def Sylveon: 296-350 (84.3 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

228+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Donphan: 285-336 (88.7 - 104.6%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
(Just fast enough to beat its custap)
I doubt ill get anything else for this team :psygrump:

Bellibolt @ Choice Specs
Ability: Electromorphosis
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 120 HP / 164 Def / 196 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder
- Thunderbolt

This is the closest thing I could find to a one-move counter. Unfortunately, it's not quite strong enough to reliably OHKO Metagross if it loses its Specs, and it can't rely on hitting Thunder twice in a row, so it needs Thunderbolt to reliably beat Metagross.

192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 120 HP / 0 SpD Bellibolt: 300-354 (77.1 - 91%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

-1 196+ SpA Choice Specs Bellibolt Thunder (220 BP) vs. 88 HP / 28 SpD Walking Wake: 361-426 (100 - 118%) -- guaranteed OHKO
220+ Atk Choice Band Metagross Earthquake vs. 120 HP / 164 Def Bellibolt: 328-388 (84.3 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

196+ SpA Choice Specs Bellibolt Thunderbolt (180 BP) vs. 240 HP / 48 SpD Metagross: 408-480 (113 - 132.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
196+ SpA Bellibolt Thunderbolt vs. 240 HP / 48 SpD Metagross: 136-162 (37.6 - 44.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
196+ SpA Bellibolt Thunderbolt vs. 240 HP / 48 SpD Metagross: 271-321 (75 - 88.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
228+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 120 HP / 0 SpD Bellibolt: 330-388 (84.8 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

196+ SpA Choice Specs Bellibolt Thunder (220 BP) vs. 80 HP / 0 SpD Sylveon: 382-451 (108.8 - 128.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
This loses to Fake Tears

- Parabolic Charge

This is the closest thing I could find to a one-move counter. Unfortunately, it's not quite strong enough to reliably OHKO Metagross if it loses its Specs, and it can't rely on hitting Thunder twice in a row, so it needs a second move to click on turn 2 if Metagross uses Trick on turn 1.

Metagross is holding Choice Band, you cannot change moves if they Tricked you.

Maybe TBolt... Wait no you don't beat t1 Fake Tears Sylveon too

Bird (Articuno) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 4 SpA
Modest Nature
- Protect
- Substitute
- Freeze-Dry
- Roost
4+ SpA Articuno Freeze-Dry vs. 88 HP / 28 SpD Walking Wake: 364-432 (100.8 - 119.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Snarl vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Articuno: 61-72 (19 - 22.4%) -- possible 5HKO
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Articuno: 211-250 (65.7 - 77.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

228+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Articuno: 141-166 (43.9 - 51.7%) -- 9.8% chance to 2HKO
Sketchy proof that this beats Sylveon:
- 1 Hyper Voice gets negated by 1 Roost
- 1 Hyper Beam gets negated by 1 Substitute
- And you get extra HP from Protect + Leftovers

I run out of ideas for more breaks tho

DRACO METEOR

However, Bandless Psychic Fangs does pitifully low damage
0 SpA Magnezone Thunderbolt vs. 240 HP / 48 SpD Metagross: 127-150 (35.1 - 41.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

It doesn't quite work as a one-move counter (you can either be strong enough to OHKO Wake/Sylveon with banded Headlong Rush or be bulky enough to take a hit from them, but not both), but if you just need a Normal-type counter:

:ursaluna:
Ursaluna @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Facade
- Headlong Rush

220+ Atk Choice Band Metagross Psychic Fangs vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Ursaluna: 220-261 (47.4 - 56.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after burn damage
0+ Atk Guts Ursaluna Headlong Rush vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Metagross: 456-536 (126.3 - 148.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

And here's a Fire-type:

:iron-moth:
Iron Moth @ Passho Berry
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 196 Spe
Timid Nature

- Dazzling Gleam

252 SpA Iron Moth Fire Blast vs. 240 HP / 48 SpD Metagross: 392-464 (108.5 - 128.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Sylveon needs four moves to KO (Fake Tears + Hyper Voice + Hyper Voice + Hyper Beam, or Fake Tears + Fake Tears + Hyper Voice + Hyper Beam); Iron Moth only needs three, or two if it's lucky (Fire Blast + Fire Blast + Dazzling Gleam).

228+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Iron Moth: 39-46 (12.9 - 15.2%) -- possible 7HKO
228+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Iron Moth: 65-76 (21.5 - 25.2%) -- 0.1% chance to 4HKO

252 SpA Iron Moth Dazzling Gleam vs. 80 HP / 0 SpD Sylveon: 74-88 (21 - 25%) -- 0.1% chance to 4HKO
Dazzling Gleam has an 89.8% chance to 2HKO if Walking Wake uses Snarl.

192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Iron Moth: 237-280 (78.7 - 93%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Passho Berry Iron Moth: 201-237 (66.7 - 78.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Iron Moth Dazzling Gleam vs. 88 HP / 28 SpD Walking Wake: 208-246 (57.6 - 68.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

+3 0 SpA Volcarona Overheat vs. 80 HP / 0 SpD Sylveon: 361-426 (102.8 - 121.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Quiver Dance twice, Morning Sun until they miss with Hydro Pump, then 2HKO with Bug Buzz.
If they spam Snarl, then you spam Quiver Dance and heal as needed with Morning Sun. Snarl's damage is negligible without a crit and not great even with one, and Quiver Dance has more PP, so you'll win eventually.

192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 216 HP / 252+ SpD Volcarona: 178-211 (48.7 - 57.8%) -- 96.1% chance to 2HKO

192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Snarl vs. 216 HP / 252+ SpD Volcarona on a critical hit: 77-91 (21 - 24.9%) -- guaranteed 5HKO

:donphan:
Donphan @ Rowap Berry
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 1
Tera Type: Ground
IVs: 1 HP
- Endeavor
- Ice Shard
- Encore
- Protect

Repeat these steps until it clicks a damaging attack or runs out of Trick PP:
  1. Protect
  2. Encore
  3. Encore
  4. Endeavor
  5. Endeavor
If Metagross clicks Trick on turn 1, Choice Band forces it to click Trick on turn 2, and Encore forces it to click Trick on turns 3-5. After turn 5, Metagross is holding the Choice Band but can click whatever move it wants, so you can repeat the cycle.
As soon as it clicks anything other than Trick, Endeavor + Ice Shard will take it out. If it refuses to click anything else, it will die to Struggle recoil on turn 17.
Endeavor, then click Ice Shard until it dies. If it hits you on turn 1, it will die to Ice Shard turn 2. Otherwise, Rowap Berry will kill it as soon as it uses a damaging attack, or Ice Shard will eventually kill it if it keeps using status moves.
Endeavor + Ice Shard
 
Pecharunt @ Maranga Berry
Ability: Poison Puppeteer
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 184 HP / 52 Atk / 244 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Poltergeist
- Malignant Chain
- Toxic
- Recover

184 HP EVs to survive a Psychic Fang from Metagross.
52 Atk EVs to 2HKO Metagross with Poltergeist.
244 SpD EVs with a SpD boosting nature and Maranga Berry allows it to live Hydro Pump + Draco Meteor from Walking Wake.
Sassy is required to 2HKO Sylveon after Toxic.
Speed is irrelevant since it still outspeeds Metagross.

You outspeed.
Poltergeist 2HKOs:
52 Atk Pecharunt Poltergeist vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Metagross: 182-216 (50.4 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
You live a Psychic Fangs:
220+ Atk Choice Band Metagross Psychic Fangs vs. 184 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 306-362 (84.2 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
You outspeed.
Game plan: Toxic > Malignant Chain x2

Sylveon has 351 HP. Toxic Damage = 21 > 43.
0 SpA Pecharunt Malignant Chain vs. 80 HP / 0 SpD Sylveon: 156-186 (44.4 - 52.9%) -- 19.9% chance to 2HKO
Assume you get a max roll from Malignant Chain, Sylveon lose 186 + 21 + 43 = 250 HP from Malignant Chain. This is not enough to trigger a Custap Berry.
Assume you get two min rolls from Malignant Chain, Sylveon lose 156 * 2 + 21 + 43 = 376 HP. This is more than enough to secure a KO if Sylveon does not click Endure.

Sylveon cannot KO you in two turns:
228+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. -2 184 HP / 244+ SpD Pecharunt: 221-261 (60.8 - 71.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
You are slower.
Game plan: Toxic > Spam Recover.

Walking Wake does not KO with Hydro Pump + Draco Meteor:
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Hydro Pump vs. 184 HP / 244+ SpD Pecharunt: 171-202 (47.1 - 55.6%) -- 77.3% chance to 2HKO
192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. +1 184 HP / 244+ SpD Pecharunt: 135-160 (37.1 - 44%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

192 SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor over 2 turns vs. 228 HP / 252+ SpD Hypno: 235-277 (63.8 - 75.2%) -- not a KO
0- Atk 0 IVs Walking Wake Struggle vs. 228 HP / 0 Def Hypno: 32-38 (8.6 - 10.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Unfortunately if Drowzee uses this set it needs 860 EVs to 100% beat Wake if no crit occured since you can't hold Aguav
