Are there any good counters too amoomguss for vgc? I was thinking a honchkrow with insomnia could work but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

Literally any Sap Sipper, grass type, Insomniac or Safety Goggles holder. Sleep is easily counterable, scrubs need to just git gud.

Talonflame and Char-Y OHKO it. Rotom-H, Gardevoir, and Manectric all do a bunch of damage to it. Substitute Aegislash laughs at it as long as it gets a sub up to block the Spore. Any Grass type or anything with Safety Goggles will not be effected by Spore or Rage Powder, so you'll be free to focus on the partner while it can't do much to you in return.

Counters it really hard and works well in trick Room since it's even slower.

What are your thoughts behind using Bulldoze over Drill Run? Speed control usually won't help Escavalier itself, and Bulldoze would work against you in Trick Room.

Is this about slowing down switch-ins and then switching out yourself, or voluntarily hitting a doubles partner? Or just for the 5% accuracy difference?

Safety goggles not only let you not get put to sleep by spore, they allow you to ignore the effect of rage powder, two moves Amoonguss is known for in doubles.
