Hatterene is a threat to be reckoned with in UU, due to its great stats and its amazing ability with Magic Bounce. Once it starts setting up, there's only a select few Pokemon that can stop it.
But, Magic Bounce is an ability that can be used
against it too.

Parting Shot
With Parting Shot + Defiant, Obstagoon becomes an amazing counter to Hatterene, and to a further extent any Magic Bounce user that can be used. When Parting Shot is used, it reflects off of Magic Bounce, giving Obstagoon +3 AND switching Hatterene out without letting her attack. As long as there is more than one Pokemon left, Obstagoon can do this EVERY TIME when Hatterene is on the field. As a bonus, if Hatterene switches out, you gain momentum!
But if Hatterene is the only Pokemon left and if you're at +3, a swift Double-Edge knocks it out.
