   Hello.
   It’s pretty difficult and tedious to beat a Trick Room team, to be honest. But it’s not impossible. If you know what you’re doing, you should be able to pull through.
   One strategy is using Priority moves. Scizor should be the one that would absolutely wreck Trick Room teams. I have a Gliscor on my Sandstorm team and he easily is my best counter for those who use Trick Room. Bullet Punch coupled with his amazing ability Technician and his ridiculous Attack stat, Scizor is easily a powerhouse. Bullet Punch, having priority, goes through TR’s affect and would utterly destroy. Scizor is also a fairly slow Pokemon as well, which is good because it MAY make you faster than some of your opponent’s Pokemon, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
   A good Scizor moveset to wreck TR users would be:
   Scizor @ Leftovers/Life Orb
   252 Atk, 252 Def
   -Swords Dance
   -Bug Bite
   -Bullet Punch
   -Roost
   Because there may be a chance that Pokemon would outspeed Scizor in TR, Roost is there to scout somewhat and to regain his HP. After Swords Dancing once, Scizor is an absolute beast, OHKO’ing many Pokemon who do not resist it, and 2HKO’ing many bulky Pokemon that don’t resist it either. Really, two Bullet Punches is probably enough… Three is overkill.
   Another strategy besides priority moves are Pokemon with the ability Prankster. Seriously, dude, Whimsicott absolutely wrecks TR users. Every single one of your indirect moves all get priority. This means you’re able to Leech Seed on the turn while they’re TR’ing and then Subbing away, or Toxic them to oblivion. The prankster ability is easily a counter against Trick Room users.
   One more strategy is just a simply one. Just simply bring in a Pokemon that can function amazingly in Trick Room, like Reuniclus! Reuniclus, being the beast, does VERY well in Trick Room and with its big Special Attack, you can easily utilize him to wreck your opponent’s team. I would definitely suggest getting rid of someone like Togekiss and put in Reuniclus instead. Togekiss wouldn’t be really beneficial in Trick Room because Togekiss’ niche is to stun and flinch with its hax Serene Grace, but since Trick Room is in effect, that renders her completely useless.
   One last strategy is just to simply stall it out. Gliscor is the perfect Pokemon for that. Just use Protect/Substitute to wear out the Trick Room and then Swords Dance or Earthquake the crap out of it.
   Normally, Trick Room Pokemon are incredibly useless and they’re only good if Trick Room is in effect. Just give a few of your Pokemon Taunt and proceed to wreck them. If they don’t have Trick Room up, it’s practically gg. Most TR utilizers are all slow and disgusting, you can just set up DD with Dragonite.
   So, really. If you want a team to counter and absolutely wreck his team, I would go with something like:
   – A lead Pokemon that can disable your opponent’s trick room and set up SR. Gliscor fits nicely.
   – A Pokemon that counters TR, such as Scizor.
   – A Pokemon that counters TR. Arcanine is alright, to an extent lol.
   – A Pokemon that functions well in TR.
   – A Pokemon that can easily set up once all threats are cleared. That’s your Dragonite.
   – A wall, for the sake of it. Again, Gliscor can fit this well.
   That should be a good team. Not only do you have a Pokemon that can disable Trick Room completely, should it happen, you have two appropriate counters that can wreck Trick Room as well as a Pokemon that functions amazingly well when TR is in effect. You also have a wall to allow breathing space as well.
   Sorry for the wall of text. 😛
