Actually that Blissey might not counter it, as it can't kill it fast enough. Azelf does roughly 48% average from standard to standard, but if you try to outstall it, by repeatedly Softboilding, it might CH or just Nasty Plot again. 2 Nasty Plots and its 72% average so yeah...

Forretress @ Leftovers
Gyro Ball
Spikes
Rapid Spin
Explosion
Gyro Ball whilst taking minimal damage thanks to massive defence.
Its worth noting that DDtar isnt a brilliant counter to that Gallade, considering it doesnt like switching in on any of the status moves. Sleep Talk could be a nice filler.

Careful 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpDef
~Rest
~Sleep Talk
~Rock Slide
~Swords Dance
Immune to Leech Seed, takes little damage from Sludge Bomb and Energy Ball, and doesn't care about Sleep. Eventually, it'll get enough Swords Dances to do significant damage to Venusaur.
