A lot of things can counter FEAR.

AbomasnoworTyranitarorHippowdonAbility: Snow Warning/Sand StreamThe rest doesn’t even matter, the point is that the Hail/Sandstorm will break their Sturdy/Focus Sash and so render the strategy useless. Abomasnow is probably better because one of the FEAR users (I think, from memory) is Aron, which is immune to Sandstorm damage.

Anything withToxicorWill-o-Wispworks for the same reason - it breaks the Focus Sash. These are extremely common moves competitively, so even most teams that aren’t specifically preparing themselves to deal with FEAR will still have them.

Ghost typesare immune to Quick Attack, and so can also stop most of the FEAR Pokemon (e.g. Rattata).

Skill Linkallows Pokemon like Mega Heracross, Cloyster, and Cinccino to ignore Focus Sashes and Sturdy by having moves like Pin Missile and Rock Blast hitting 5 times.

Prioritywill also stop this strategy (unless the FEAR user has Extreme Speed).

There are a lot of options to deal with FEAR, and most of them are very common competitively, which is why FEAR is not the best strategy to use.

Cofagrigus @Leftovers-Destiny Bond. To take the Pokemon down with it-Knock Off. To get rid of the Focus Sash-Will o Wisp. To slowly take away their Hp-Double Team. So he can’t be hitI chose him because of his immunity of Quick Attack/Extreme Speed and a good movepool for taking down FEAR Pokemon.

Mega Kangashkan@KangashkaniteAbility Scrappy ——> Parental BondShock Wave- I saw a double team FEAR cotton. That sucked. Infinite accuracy combined with Bond one shotsFake Out- gimmickyCrunch- for those pesky ghost type PokemonSubstitute- to prevent status moves like Pain Split. (unsure how this works).
