(+2 to simulate charge)
Galvantula
Does beat Scizor-Mega. You can ev for it...but I think the opportunity cost is too high (100%ing Forretress)
252+ SpA Galvantula Gigavolt Havoc (185 BP) vs. 100 HP / 0- SpD Scizor-Mega: 303-357 (99 - 116.6%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

Unsure:
Yanma
Hypnosis + Substitute + Air Slash + Roost could wear Scizor-M down over time if it is lacking roost. But it has to manage to get enough sleep turns to roost back to full AND be able to substitute.
Pheromosa
Specs Hidden Power [Fire] Phero OHKOs, but I don't know what Pheros run at all.
Vivillon
Sleep powder sub should theoretically win...given enough sleep turns. But, it needs at least two sleep turns...and I don't know if that is the standard Vivillon set.
Venomoth
Sleep powder can cheese out wins here. Again, i'm not sure at all what they run.
Good teammates:
