How can I counter Grand Abolisher other beside on my turn I shock him or remove him?
Wrong area. Try the deckbuilder's area in the forum.
Off the top of my head, once he is on the field, there really aren't any ways to kill him on your opponent's turn.

whoops, I really got that all backwards, I need to read more carefully. You can kill it with pretty much any removal spell on your turn, or you can cast Lignify to make his ability go away. Or you could go really crazy and turn him into a saporling and then a forest and then a basic mountain, but that takes at least four cards and three colors.

If you use counter him using something like Mana Leak before he even hits that's a good way to stop him. You could also activate the ability of a land like Stirring Wildwood to block him. He shouldn't really be a problem card, since the only decks that hate him are control decks, that generally have a card like Mana Leak anyway.

He doesn't let you cast spells or activate abilities on your turn, so you either need to make him somehow block a creature of yours (provoke?) or kill it on an opponent's turn. Also, I believe you are not asking a rules question, so I hereby summon Epochalyptik to move this to a relevant forum.
