That's a very dumb reason.. I would understand if Lucario had STAB on Dark Pulse or HP Ice, but he doesn't. These will hit just as hard as 252 ATK Crunch/Ice Punch, while giving more power to his STAB move, Close Combat.

Tangrowth may have better stats, but it lacks recover which is very important when you're trying to wall stuff. Recover/Reflect/Grass Knot/HP fire is quite good at handling common threats.

I'm thinking of changing Lucario's moveset. I'd like to include Aura Sphere as well. I can't get HP Ice, so I'll need another move anyway. Perhaps even Flash Cannon? It's a longshot though.

Well, Tangrowth does have Leech Seed for HP gain. That plus lefties might add up. Though I know a recovery move is important.

Why Flash Cannon? Everything you hit SE with it (Rocks, Ice types) are already hit super effective by Close Combat/Aura Sphere.

I dunno. Flash Cannon was a random thought. I do need something better, but I'm still working on the set.

EDIT: I know I keep coming up with random ideas, but what about Honchcrow?

Honchcrow @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 200 SAtk/ 212 Atk/ 96 Spe
Mild
~Dark Pulse
~Dill Peck
~Superpower
~Heat Wave

Heat Wave decimates Steels, Superpower takes Blissey and Heatran, others for STAB and basic coverage.
