Supreme Counters
Shadow MetagrossMetagross
Whenever something is weak to Steel, Metagross will always be amongst the top counters. With Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash* it will make quick work of this grunt. Note that Bite on Snubbel can be a bit problamatic.
Dusk Mane Necrozma
 Being one of the Monarchs of the game, Dusk Mane is a huge threat with Metal Claw and Sunsteel Strike.
Good Counters
Shadow Excadrill
 Slap Metal Claw and Iron Head on it and you have yourselves a proper addition to your team.
Dialga
 Slap Metal Claw and Iron Head on it and you have yourselves a proper addition to your team. Deja vu?
Nihilego
 Poison is often considered sub-optimal to put it nicely, but Nihilego breaks that mold with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb and a good attack stat to go along with it.
Other Good Counters
In conjunction with the above counters, several other Pokemon do a great job here, including a number of generally great Pokemon in the Master League. Feel free to mix-and-match a bit, as any of these and beyond can do a great job as well!
