Blissey@Leftovers- Calm
252 hp/252 sp.def/4def/
Seismic Toss
Softboiled
Sleep Talk
Sing
Sure. Why the hell not. Absorbs all of your attacks easily, and attempts to put you to sleep with Sing and kills you off with S. Toss

Herracross @ Choice Band
Adamant
Sleep Talk
Close Combat
Megahorn
Stone Edge
Can switch in on all attacks. If it switches in on Sing, use sleep talk. Any other move and CC.
Gliscor@Leftovers
252 hp/128att/128def
Aerial Ace
EQ
Knock Off
Swords Dance
Can safely switch in on any on your attacks, and if you decide to Bulk up, you can just eat a Swords Danced AA.
Weezing @ Black Sludge
Bold@ 252/0/196/60/0/0
Flamethrower
Will-O-Wisp
Haze
Thunderbolt
Comes in on anything, erases all Bulk Ups with Haze and goes for the kill with Flamethrower.
@Camerupt"
Aerodactyl, Lunatone, and Solrock resist that move combination, but none of them can take the hit very well (Aero can survive, I think, but can't OHKO due to Solid Rock), so excuse me for using Blissey.
Blissey @ Leftovers
252 Hp, 252 De, 6 Sa
Serene Grace, Bold
~Water Pulse
~Thunder Wave
~Softboiled
~Ice Beam
This is kind of a novelty Blissey, but it's cool, and can be annoying. It takes Camerupt's moves like... like a Blissey, and KOs with Water Pulse. Serene Grace boosts the confusion effect of Water Pulse to 40%, and the freeze chance of Ice Beam to 20%.
It's goal is to parafuse a Pokemon, while whittling them down with their own recoil, and Water Pulse.

@ Moltres
Starmie @ Choice Scarf
Modest--252 Sp. Atk / 122 Speed / 64 Def / 64 HP
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Grass Knot
- Ice Beam
Comes in on any fire attack, and KO's back with surf. Choice Scarf is to outspeed the obvious Weavile switch in, and the added speed EV's ensure to outspeed Jolly Scarf Heracross. Def EV's are to ensure survival of Adamant Choice Band Weavile.

The OP said not to assume either SR or Sandstream, but Shedinja is broken in the counter game, since you know the opponent's moveset, and neither hazard exists... I'm gonna spam hippos until Shedinja goes away.
@Jirachi:
Hippowdon @ Choice Band
Adamant, Sandstream
252 Hp, 252 At, 6 De
~Earthquake
~Ice Fang
~Stone Edge
~Fire Fang
If CB Swampert can work, so can CB Hippowdon. People expect a passive move like Stealth Rock first turn... he lols at that.

@choice banded hippo
Swampert @ Choice Specs
quiet (+SA, -speed): 252HP/ 252SA/ 4 attack
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power Electric
-Earthquake
If choise hippowdon can work, choice specs swampert can work XD.
Hydro Pump should at least 2HKO, if not OHKO. Couldnt think of another good enough move, so I made it quiet w/ earthquake instead of modest, lol
EDIT: And I have noticed A LOT of shedinjas here too... (hinthint for obvious counter, but be more original XD)

Vileplume @ Wide Lens
Sassy (+SD, - Spd)
129 HP/129 Att/252 SA
Drain Punch
Sludge Bomb
Energy Ball
Sleep Powder
Immune to Toxic and Leech Seed, 4x resists Grass Knot, and handles neutral Sludge Bomb with extra HP and base 90 SD (with +SD nature). Sleep Powder for status, Sludge Bombs you to death.
Novelty moves are so much fun. :'D For a bit of extra health, Drain Punches Sunflora's paltry 75/55 defenses without resistance to many other Grass-type health moves.
I have an idea:
Metagross @ Leftovers
Adamant@ 140/232/32/0/0/104
Meteor Mash
Substitute
Agility
Earthquake
Comes in any damaging assualt he wants to, uses Sub to avoid Sleep Powder, and kills you with Meteor Mash.
