Slowbro @ Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Toxic
- Scald
- Slack Off
- Iron Defense
Due to its amazing defenses and typing and the ability not to get struck by a critical hit Mega-Slowbro serves as a very good check to this Dusk Mane set.
Mega-Slowbro can come in on any attack even when Dusk Mane is at +2 due to Swords Dance - Dusk Manes Sunsteel Strike won't do a lot
to Mega-Slowbro and Z-Sunsteel Strike won't OHKO Slowbro-Mega either. Mega-Slowbro is also tank enough to take a +2 Z-Sunsteel Strike into an Earthquake.
In return Mega-Slowbro can Slack Off the damage it took and has a chance to burn Dusk Mane with its Scald, also Mega-Bro can just iron Defense up to neutralize the +2 gained due to Swords Dance
by Necrozma-Dusk Mane.

be aware that the given set is Adamant Necrozma-DM, which means u should predict a Z-move to roost, that's the only way to counter it
Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Roost
- U-turn
- Curse
His double-type allows him to completely counter sunsteel strike and eq easily, and if dusk mane doesnt crit it cant win the 1v1. U-turn after 6 curses ohkoes it and if it didnt click rock polish you can just u-turn and rk it. The only way dusk mane has to beat scizor is to have two maxrolls (see calcs below), and your opponent cant even risk clicking z move because you can just roost on that turn. The more you click curse, the less you can lose the 1v1
