Okay so Dark_Azelf is going to come in here and post SD Lucario so let's let him because he does it with style. seriously.
Actually I have a funny experience fighting a Lucario. It was a Raikou rip-off (only no sandstorm weak, more resistances...oh no) with Calm Mind and it murdered me. It was awful :( Actually that's where I got my inspiration for APvire (no I'm not telling!) Also SpecsLuke is just cool. Still ghost/Blissey beat it every time :( |
A Lucario I used that worked amazingly for me was the following:
Lucario @ Focus Sash Inner Focus EVs: 92 HP / 252 SAtk / 164 Spd Modest Nature - Aura Sphere - Shadow Ball - Vacuum Wave - Hidden Power Ice Keep in mind this guy is almost always the recepiant of one or two Nasty Plots and an Agility from a Baton Pass(the Focus Sash allows him to take what would normally be a fatal attack upon switching in). Otherwise, attach a Choice Scarf/Choice Specs to him to maximize his Special Sweeping prowess. -Aura Sphere is the generic, never misses special attack move with the Fighting STAB bonus. 90 Damage + x2 Nasty Plots kills virtually anything that doesn't resist it. -Shadow Ball is rape to any incoming Ghosts hoping to negate the fighting moves, and kills Psychics with ease. Cresselia, Gengar, and Uxie are all dead to this. Once again, x2 or 1 Nasty Plot is enough. -Vacuum Wave is there for priority, as it will outspeed any other priority attacker preventing them from killing Lucario off (with an Agility, mind you). Even without the Nasty Plot boost, it takes care of Weavile in one hit. - Lastly, HP Ice is for Dragons or Flying types that think they can come in and absorb Lucario's attacks. After even just one Nasty Plot, this kills everything weak to it. Basically, this thing is unstoppable once the Batons are Passed. I personally use a defensive Ambipom to do my bidding. Baton Pass, Agility, Nasty Plot, Fake Out. Easy as pie. |
Lucario @ Life Orb
Trait: Steadfast EVs: 80Atk / 232SpAtk / 196Spd Mild nature(+SpAtk, -Def) - Close Combat - HP [Ice] - Shadow Ball - Vacuum Wave Just a version of MixLuke that I use |
[email protected] Orb/Leftovers
Modest Nature EVs: 170 HP, 156 SpAtk, 184 Spd -Calm Mind -Aura Sphere -Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse -Roar My all new revised CMCario. Roar with his speed, outspeeds the other roars so he doesn't get PHazed. Aura Sphere hits everything except the Ghosts and Psychics, but they are taken care of with Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse |

EDIT: And here is what Lucario can do to a Blissey that is run with 252 HP, 252 Def Aura Sphere after 1 CM Damage: 403 - 475 Damage: 56.44% - 66.53% Focus Punch Damage: 944 - 1110 Damage: 132.21% - 155.46% Hmm so a 2HKO with Aura Sphere, hmm maybe something else for the last slot and a change of EVs in order.... |
I've been messing with an agility sweeper Lucario mainly because it's speed is rather poor compared to other pokemon.
Ability: Steadfast (or whatever the speed increase when flinching one is) Nature: Adamant / Modest Item: Life Orb / Focus Sash HP: 4 ATK/SP ATK: 252 SPD: 252 Physical Moveset Close Combat Crunch Stone Edge (could also be substituted for EQ since it's just an awesome move) Agility Special Moveset Aura Sphere Dragon Pulse (unless you can get HP Ice) Dark Pulse (I guess this could be substituted for Shadow Ball if you'd rather the chance of lowering Sp Def) Agility Same EV spread as most fast(ish) sweepers. They work okay for me but are rather overshadowed by the offensive stat boost sets and choice banders/specs. I guess a reversal set could work for him, since he has resistance to sandstorm. I've never tried a reversal set (for any pokemon actually) so I'm not sure how well it'd work with Lucario. |

Lucario is such a beast, at first it seemed like a "Noob magnet" (Due to the pokemon movie lol) but after using it, it is insanely powerful. [email protected] Orb 252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 HP Adamant Nature Trait : Stead Fast ~ Close Combat ~ Extremespeed / Bullet Punch ~ Swords Dance ~ Crunch / Bullet Punch / Stone Edge This is one nasty set and is awesome with SR and spikes support. Extremespeed decimates frail and fast pokemon like Azelf, Infernape, Dugtrio, Weavile, Jolteon etc, finishing them in one hit before they can touch you (Even without SR and Spikes support.) . Bullet Punch ohkos and rapes Aerodactyl and gengar/Mismagius if the latter two take residual damage before hand and if they run 4hp evs or less.. Crunch breaks Cresselia and Dusknoir aswell as celebi, Uxie etc. Stone Edge OHkos bulky Gyarados after a swords dance, EVEN after an intimidate, aswell as ending salamence should it switch in. Close Combat is what makes this set deadly. Damage Calculations Close Combat vs Max HP/Def Skarmory 85.03% - 100.30% Close Combat vs Max HP/Def Bronzong: 96.15% - 113.02% Close Combat vs Max HP/Def Hippowdon: 76.43% - 90.00% Close Combat vs Max HP/Def Forretress: 80.23% - 94.63% Close Combat vs Max HP/Def Donphan: 82.81% - 97.40% With Stealth Rock and/or some spikes up these "So called" physical walls who are 2hko'd, get Ohko'd after a Swords Danced Close Combat. Cons : Gliscor and Weezing lol No one posted Specs Luke either =o ? [email protected] Specs 252 SP.ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 HP Modest Nature Trait : Steadfast - Aura Sphere - Vacuum Wave - Dragon pulse / Hidden power Ice - Dark pulse / Shadow Ball Aura Sphere can 2HKO Blissey if she ever gets any bright ideas about switching in. Vacuum Wave picks of weak pokemon such as weavile and nearly ohkos Tyranitar too o_0 Dragon Pulse or Hidden Power Ice crushes Salamence and Garchomp—use Hidden Power Ice to destroy Gliscor and get more super-effective coverage, or use Dragon Pulse for an extra 20 base power and more neutrality Use Dark Pulse if you like flinch and Normal coverage or Shadow Ball for hitting Heracross harder.. Problems with this set is that Gyarados can switch in rather easily, but meh, its still deadly. |
I like [and have been using] the SD Lucario set, although I gave it Lum berry instead of Life Orb. Lucario can still take at least 1 non SE hit, so Life Orb seems it would only take away for his ability to switch in easier. Lum berry keeps him safe from status, giving him one more turn to stat up.

revised my set... basically its Roar over Focus Punch with the Attack EVs in special attack... probably should've tried my Lucario out first but oh well

Anyhoo, my special set: [email protected] orb Hasty/Naive 252SpAtt/252Spd/6HP Aura Sphere/Psychic Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball Dragon Pulse Close Combat Most of the set is self explanitory. Close combat deals with blissey and other special walls, because STAB and base 115 att is enough to put a large dent in them even without EVs in attack. Psychic if you have issues with two moves of the same type on one poke (Even though they serve differnt purposes) |
i used a mixed life orb lucario. nothing special. it just makes me very sad when lucario doesn't get much of a kill XD
|
I've been looking at it, and this is what I came up with:
[email protected] Sash/Leftovers Lonely~252 Attack/252 Special Attack/6 HP Agility Aura Sphere/HP Electric/HP Fire/Dragon Pulse/HP Ice/Vacuum Wave Close Combat Crunch After 1 Agility Lucario achieves 432 Speed without a beneficial nature and no EV investment. You can run Close Combat to make Light work of Blissey, Crunch takes care of what Close Combat doesn't hit, then you choose your last move. Aura Sphere for extra STAB, HP Electric can hit Skarmory and Bulkydos, but Foretress can probably live a couple of those, HP Fire is for Foretress and Skarmory, but BulkyDos gives you trouble, DragonPulse is for Dragons, obviously, or you can go for HP Ice and have cover over dragons + Grass types. Vacuum wave is for outrunning Aerodactyl. |

Honestly I can't believe I used to recommend it. It only makes walling you all the more easier. SpecsLuke was my favorite but Dark_Azelf will kill me for that so I didn't say anything... |

Also, Focus Sash wouldn't even be there if it wasn't a BP Receiver. I did mention it could be alternatively a Choice Specs/Scarf Lucario. |
Quote:
Giving HP EV's to a Focus Sash user it like taking the last flu vaccine from a person who really needs it. Sure your safe from a virus you MAY get, but it doesn't help those who needs it. |
Quote:
Without the Focus Sash, the Lucario I have used to sweep countless teams was decimated by incoming Flamethowers, Earthquakes, and Close Combats (considering Ambipom, it's BPer is weak against Close Combat, it was a common one). I tried Leftovers, and I'm not a personal fan of Choice items. So this set has given me the most success and it is this set I share with the PokeCommunity. |

Actually Sash kinda sucks on Torterra since it has no business staying in on Ice Attackers and Yache Berry will be a much bigger help with those IMO.
Also focus sash IS a bad item and SR ruins it 100% of the time and hail and spikes will also drown Lucario. Safety nets are wastes in most cases anyways. |

I could have sworn I saw it the other way around :0 Actually I saw it like you said the first time and the second time I misread it :0
But yeah. Also Luke is a beast with CM if played correctly T_T |
