Moves will be assumed to be always hit (except in the case of things like zap cannon and inferno).

@ninjagaro scarf excadrill doesn't exactly beat altaria mega very well, it is matchup in favor of altaria. Nice try though, maybe refine the set and then it can beat it? I'd first suggest running adamant over jolly, that'll be a good place to start.

Alright, my choice is Haxorus.
Haxorus @ Choice Scarf Ability: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Outrage - Iron Tail - Earthquake - Rock Slide
Against Charizard: 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Haxorus Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Charizard-Mega-Y: 340-400 (94.4 - 111.1%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
If it doesn't OHKO, A Blast Burn from Charizard isn't enough to kill:
0 SpA Charizard-Mega-Y Blast Burn vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Haxorus in Sun: 242-285 (82.5 - 97.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+ If it tries to flame charge, it still isn't fast enough the next turn to outspeed.
Against Magneton:
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Haxorus Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Magneton: 548-648 (227.3 - 268.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Earthquake pretty much... just destroys it.
Against Altaria:
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Haxorus Iron Tail vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Altaria-Mega: 242-286 (68.3 - 80.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
So this is more complicated, the lowest possible damage Haxorus can deal after two iron tails and a cotton guard from altaria is 95.62%, while the highest is 112.98%, so it's a higher chance of actually 2HKO.

Alright! What immediatly sprung to my mind was finding a mold breaker mon against Magneton, that also had 4X effective moves with the steel, ground, and fire type. Since the physical fire type users weren't that fast, I decided to run Fire Blast on Gyarados and make it a mixed attacker.
Gyarados-Mega @ Gyaradosite Ability: Mold Breaker EVs: 116 Atk / 140 SpA / 252 Spe Hasty Nature - Earthquake - Dragon Dance - Iron Head - Fire Blast
ALRIGHT! LET'S BRING OUT THE CALCS!
Genesect:
So Genesect easily outspeeds gyarados, beating it with it's choice scarf, it can either go for energy ball, or a +1 boosted Iron head thanks to download.
108 SpA Genesect Energy Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gyarados-Mega: 134-158 (40.4 - 47.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO +2 252+ Atk Genesect Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Gyarados-Mega: 140-165 (42.2 - 49.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
None of which are able to even 2HKO Gyarados, it could even set up a dragon dance if it really wanted!
Now here's a single fire blast from Gyarados.
168 SpA Mold Breaker Gyarados-Mega Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Genesect: 308-364 (108.8 - 128.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Guaranteed OHKO, (If it doesn't miss).
Now for Magneton.
Gyarados outspeeds magneton, for it having 287 speed while magneton has 262.
Here's one unboosted earthquake from Gyarados.
180 Atk Mold Breaker Gyarados-Mega Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Magneton: 496-588 (205.8 - 243.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
If only Magneton was a little bit faster, it could OHKO Gyarados with Gigavolt Havoc.
252 SpA Magneton Gigavolt Havoc (190 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gyarados-Mega: 468-552 (141.3 - 166.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Now for Diancie-Mega.
Here's where I got scared, Diancie would probably outspeed Gyarados and hit him hard with a moonblast, so... Let's calc this.
132 SpA Diancie-Mega Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gyarados-Mega: 270-318 (81.5 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Wait... IT DOESN'T KILL? I didn't even have to put Sp Def Ev's... cool. This means Gyarados can set up a Dragon Dance 100% of the time. And Iron Head obviously OHKO's.
+1 180 Atk Mold Breaker Gyarados-Mega Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 184 Def Diancie-Mega: 448-528 (185.8 - 219%) -- guaranteed OHKO
But there's one problem with this... Diamond Storm.
Diamond Storm in of itself isn't enough to kill Gyarados: 0 Atk Diancie-Mega Diamond Storm vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Gyarados-Mega: 169-199 (51 - 60.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
But... it has a 50% chance of boosting it's Defense by two stages... if this happens, Gyarados isn't guaranted an OHKO, even after a Dragon Dance.
+1 180 Atk Mold Breaker Gyarados-Mega Iron Head vs. +2 0 HP / 184 Def Diancie-Mega: 224-268 (92.9 - 111.2%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
He has a 56.3% chance, so Gyarados isn't a 100% Counter to Diancie... if Diancie gets lucky. So in this scenario, Diancie's best option is to go for Diamond Storm.
But, theoretically, Gyarados has a better chance at beating Diancie, then Diancie has at beating Gyarados.
Edit:
Holy crap, this is actually good, it's in my team now.
