I've been watching VGC matches and have always seen this two. Any good counters?

Which two? All of the genies are pretty good in VGC, but primarily Thundy and Lando-T. Thundy really gives teams T Wave and other supportive options, so a status absorber would be good (ground type - leaves you neutral to Lando-T's attacks as well). Lando-T is usually scarf, but has other offensive options, so you'll probably want some priority/scarfer to beat it.

Sorry, thanks for mentioning them.
Mamoswine seems good against them.

Felt like I had something still to add

This is Arash Ommati VGC 2013 Masters winning Mamoswine set. Immune to T Wave, outspeeds Thundy, outspeeds base Lando-T (prior to scarf, but they ain't staying in) and so on. Although it's a little dated, you could probably try it in the current meta
