RMT, again.

Your teams looking a tad Mixape weak airconditioning o_o Try adding a dual small taking resistant or normal damage from all of Infernape's commonly used attacks.... hmm.. I would recommend you take off Weezing since Swampert can already take Physical attacks pretty well for Dusknoir? Resists Fighting attacks and takes normal damage hits from Flamethrower and Grass Knot, and has some characteristics of Weezing himself (Will-o-Wisp, Pain Split)

Just remember.. you cannot Will-o-Wisp a Fire-type XD
 
I have no idea what you just said (outside of the Dusk > Weezing comment. I have no idea how that would help with my Mixape weak, as Dusk can't do a think back to Infernape).

And for the record, I'm fairly certain that you can WoW fire types. The only exclusions are those with Flash Fire, like Heatran or Arcanine.

Maybe that's just shoddy since I've tried WoWing Infernape in Wi-Fi battles... and the move failed

This is the Dusknoir I ran for Mixape killing

Dusknoir@ Leftovers
EV's : 200HP/152SPDF/104DEF/52ATK
Moves :
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch/Thunderpunch
- Pain Split
- Will-o-Wisp

A bit strange at first sight, but after I've used it, it worked better than expected

Huh, it looks like WoW doesn't affect Fire types (I just tried it on a Flash Fire-less Ponyta, and the move failed. :/)

Hmm... interesting set. I think I may run that on my Dusknoir sometime (Or just teach it Earthquake).
 
go jolly on lucario, every lucario (on shoddy at least) is adamant, its nice so you can out speed them, then oppent will think your choice scarfed, then you switch attacks and pwn him
 
Yes, but you lose so much power in doing so, some OHKOs become 2HKOs, etc. However, If you are sure you can get off a SD, then Jolly is and option.

Eh not really IMO. Even with a SD in and LO Lucario still misses out on the kills it gets with an adamant nature. Lucario doesn't even need the speed with the priority moves it has, and opposing Lucario aren't going to switch in on you and you shouldn't be switching in on them (in response to shadowman).

IMO Dusknoir is not a good MixApe counter, Earthquake or not. With SR down I think that's a OHKO (NP LO Flamethrower) and Earthquake Dusknoir generally has no use outside of taking ~80% damage from Mixape.
