Infernape @ Expert Belt (I hate Life Orb, and I might need a resist this thing has)
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
Nature: Jolly (Spd+/SAtk-)
- Swords Dance
- Blaze Kick
- Close Combat
- Thunderpunch
Weavile leads hate this since they can only 2HKO unless they carry Aerial Ace and I'll OHKO back with SE STAB. Dance when I can and hit hard physically. Since most Infernape are special, switching Psychic-typed special walls into this just gets you killed.
Crescelia @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 104 SDef / 88 SAtk / 66 Def
Nature: Calm (SDef+/Atk-)
- Rest
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave
- Charge Beam
Crescelia blocks most special threats and can counter mixed sweepers like standard Infernape. Thunder Wave to paralyze fast sweepers and prevent them from sweeping. Charge Beam to destroy Gyarados and boost my own power so I can actually deal good damage with Psychic. Rest is so I don't get owned by a Moltres of my own design.
Gliscor @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 12 Atk / 244 Def
Nature: Impish (Def+/SAtk-)
- Roost
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
- Rock Slide
Pretty bog standard Gliscor, designed to beat Scarfcross. Helps with Tyranitar too, and can counter other physical threats. Rock Slide to beat Flying threats.
Magmortar @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 SAtk / 208 Spd / 50 HP
Nature: Timid (Spd+/Atk-)
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Dark/Grass]
- Thunderbolt
Magmortar has 125 base SAtk, so I thought it would be a good choice for a Scarf user on the special side. The speed allows it to outspeed neutral natured Scarfed 90 base speed Pokemon (Lucario's speed group, and if one has good offensive power it would get scarfed)
Lapras @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Nature: Bold (Def+/Atk-)
- Roar
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Rest
I messed with the EVs a bit so I laugh at Garchomp's Outrage and OHKO back with 4x SE STAB Ice Beam. I picked Lapras so I'd have STAB on Ice Beam and not have to worry about OHKOing Garchomp. Roar since Lapras doesn't get Haze according to Serebii (why the f*** not), and Thunderbolt to OHKO Gyarados back and hit other bulky Waters hard.
Lucario @ Leftovers
EVs: 32 HP / 44 Def / 232 Spd / 202 Atk
Nature: Impish (Def+/SAtk-)
- Sky Uppercut
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Extremespeed
This is the weirdest Lucario set in the history of Lucario, but it's designed to counter Choice Banded/Scarfed Tyranitar, who rips me apart. Lucario is EVed such that Adamant CBTar Stone Edge is a 3HKO every time, outspeed 252 Jolly CBTar, and OHKO back any Tyranitar with 4x SE STAB. ExSpeed counters any Reversal use someone might have on their team and beats Ninjask.
