The hardest counter

I'm curious, are there any matchups in current or future generations where one pokemon has stab and double-resists another pokemon who is double-weak to the first one? What typings would work if there aren't such pokemons?

Edit: After researching a little, I found that crobat with 2 flying moves is 1,56 effective on heracross + stab, which makes 1,95 damage, and double-resists both bug and fighting moves. Any other?

Tyranitar (Dark/Rock) is double-weak to Fighting, and Fighting resists both Dark and Rock.

It's pretty close, but it's 2 single resistances. If the pokemon is fighting/fairy it's even better because it double-resists dark, but still only resists rock once.

Outside of the details, in general, Gen 1's hardest counter had to be Lapras, though Arcanine did fairly well, if Lap was maxed w a killer set, it was hard.

For Gen 2, it's kind of hard to tell, Blissey before the rebalancing was really hard to take down. On paper tho, Steel has the most resistance.

Magcargo can attack into charizard with rock attacks with stab 2x she and can double resist fire attack that the only one that I can think of. Or Amastar iff you have one with legacy rock throw rock slide.
