Keep your distance, hard control, terrain kills.
When Heiduo saw Scizor get viciously slammed into a rock, and that rock shattered with a loud bang, he thought that Psychic-type Pokémon really were smart. They even knew how to use terrain kills.
If a flesh-and-blood person crashed into that, their brains would probably splatter out.
