EVs: 252 HP/104 Spd/152 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

Special Sweeper. EV's let it take a Choice Banded Mamoswine's Ice Shard (even after SR damage) and OHKO it with Aura Sphere after a Nasty Plot. Also, all Pokes carrying 269 SpA to OHKO Garchomp with Ice Beam only 3HKO's 'Kiss.

Starmie @ Choice Specs
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf/Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot
---
SpecsMie. Surf vs. Hydro Pump is the age-old "power vs. accuracy" debate, however, Hydro Pump deals massive damage to things that would normally be considered a "safe" switch.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Crunch
- Swords Dance
---
SD Luke. Bread and butter set honestly. Moveset is extremely standard, but predictable. Does massive damage to everything not resisting it.

Thanks for making the RMT, Vance!

I've faced (and lost to) this team >_> Foe TTar's can cause some trouble (especially if they get in a DD. Lucario can predict around it, but that's about it.

I have no real things to suggest; it seems solid thus far.

Looks good all around, but your team has a pretty bad NP Azelf weakness, as a Lucario Extremespeed without SD would not OHKO, and gets run over through flamethrower. Everything else dies to Psychic and grass knot. I guess Deoxys-S can light screen it, but still.

Unless it's carrying HP Fighting, TTar will be a problem for it. Big time.

Not really. I always OHKO T-tar with grass knot after a nasty plot, and on this team I see many easy opportunities to do so =/.
