He does a better job with Choice Scarf, Lonely or Naughty Nature.

Luxray: Iron Tail, Thunderbolt, thunder wave, crunch, intimidate, Lum Berry
Eww, god no. This is what you should have.

Luxray @ Choice Scarf

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) / Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)

Power reducing moves suck unless Choice Attacking.

Heracross: Choice scarf, Close Combat, Mega Horn, Stone Edge, Pursuit
Needs more Pursuit


Gengar: Wide Lens, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, focus blast hypnosis
Psychic has no coverage, especially on something NOT picking up STAB.

Lucario: Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Calm Mind, Expert belt
Notrly

Soon to be replaced By:

Porygon-Z: Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, Tri Attack, thunderbolt, Choice Scarf. Please rate
PoryZ wants teh Scarf

All Sweepers, no walls, wow.
Gyarados pulls a one-man army on that team, and so do a LOT of Choice-Powered Attackers.

You don't need walls, you need synergy and experience to make them function together as a team.

A Skarmbliss Team coupled with a Decent Physical and Special Sweeper would account for this team easily, especially considering (by the looks of it) his lack of experience...

All of these move sets are either off serebii or smogon...

Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)

Gengar (M) @ Wide Lens
Trait: Levitate
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Thunder
- Focus Blast
- Energy Ball.

Porygon-Z (M) @ Choice Specs / Scarf

- Tri Attack.

Expert Belt on Special Lucario?

Lucario (M) @ Choice Specs

EV's: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse / Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- Dragon Pulse / Hidden Power Ice. Shadow Claw? No. Pursit / Night Slash. And perhaps Sleep Talk to abuse Guts.

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Blaze
EV's: 24 Atk / 232 Spd / 252 SAtk)
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower / Fire Blast
- Grass Knot
- Close Combat.

I can see why you recommended Download instead of Adaptability on Por-Z, Itachi... That is to say, when faced with something with High Def, but low SDef, such as those freaky Steel-types, the increase in SAtk will make the boltbeam stronger, and even if Tri-Attack doesn't get the double STAB, it'll still be painful. Perfect for the late-game sweeper. Choise Scarf FTW!

Not entirely. There is no synergy without walls. As Iceman said, Gyarados does a number on this team. I've taken out plenty of sweepers with Gyarados & Raichu. Without anyone to tzke hits on his team, faster pokes cause massive pain.

Haha, Paraflinching Togekiss hits this team HARD! But all sweeper teams are fragile and cant fit together well enough to work against a tank like Snorlax.
