    Claydol @ Leftovers
    Bold Nature; 252 HP 114 Def 144 Spd
    ~ Calm Mind
    ~ Earth Power
    ~ Ice Beam
    ~ Rest

    Calm Mind Claydol. I love the potential, do you?

    Jumpluff @ Leftovers
    Jolly Nature; 188 Def 68 Sp Def 252 Spd
    ~ U-Turn/Encore
    ~ Substitute
    ~ Sleep Powder
    ~ Leech Seed

    I cannot choose between U-Turn and Encore; can someone help me here?

    Kingler @ Life Orb
    Jolly Nature; 16 HP 252 Atk 240 Spd
    ~ Crabhammer
    ~ X-Scissor
    ~ Rock Slide/Brick Break
    ~ Swords Dance

    Swords Dance. I am stuck between Rock Slide and Brick Break this time.

    Magcargo @ Choice Specs
    Modest Nature; 252 HP 252 Sp Atk 4 Spd
    ~ Fire Blast
    ~ Earth Power
    ~ HP Grass
    ~ Ancientpower

    All out sweeping. Not a quick one, but that's some serious power.

    Ampharos @ Leftovers
    Quiet Nature; 252 Sp Atk 216 Atk 40 HP -or- 252 Sp Atk 252 HP 4 Spd
    ~ Thunderbolt
    ~ Focus Punch/Counter
    ~ Substitute/Signal Beam
    ~ HP Grass/HP Ice/Counter/Signal Beam

    I am unsure about this one. What do you think? Focus Punch with Substitute and Counter with Signal Beam.

    Lead: Absol @ Choice Scarf
    Jolly Nature; 12 HP 252 Atk 240 Spd
    ~ Me First/Stone Edge
    ~ X-Scissor
    ~ Night Slash
    ~ Psycho Cut

    Absol with Choice Scarf. Cannot decide between Me First and Stone Edge. Me First could easily put an end to Lucario.

    Lunatone @ Leftovers
    Modest Nature; 220 HP 220 Sp Atk 68 Spd
    ~ Psychic
    ~ Hypnosis
    ~ Ice Beam/HP Rock

    Levitate is the best. Takes care of Nidoking and his wife.

    Need I say more?

    Modest Nature; 228 HP 72 Sp Atk 208 Sp Def
    ~ Yawn/Toxic/Explosion
    ~ Stealth Rock
    ~ Flamethrower/Lava Plume

    Support Camerupt with some power.

    Impish Nature; 252 HP 120 Atk 136 Sp Def
    ~ Stealth Rock
    ~ Earthquake
    ~ Toxic/Stone Edge/Explosion
    ~ Toxic/Stone Edge/Explosion

    The public demanded a wall.

    I can see a major Nidoking problem here. No one can safely switch in & wipe it out. Absol can revenge kill it, if that's the case, but Sucker Punch hurts even that.

    In fact, you don't have a single wall. Don't try to pit this against OU teams, as Lucario will be the least of your worries there.
     
    I think Muk should be in that team somwhere maybe intead of macargo it has FAR to many weaknesses. Curse muk is actualy really really good.
     
    You have no way of taking status, which is one of the most common things in UU. I would advise you to use Kabutops instead of Kingler, as Swords Dance + Aqua Jet can be very useful, and you need a priority attack somewhere. My 2nd advice is dropping Magcargo for Camerupt, specs or restalk set. Make Absol your lead. Encore over U-turn on Jumpluff.

    Also, I personally am not fond of Claydol at all. Solrock may be better to counter Kangaskhan and take normal hits with ease.

    I will probably replace Claydol and Magcargo, and possibly Kingler. I am not entirely sure about Kabutops or Kingler, as they both are flawed in certain areas. I will probably choose Kabutop's speed over Kingler's stats.

    This got me thinking that you are planning on fighting OU. Lucario will never be seen in UU, so having Me First is moot. Way to look at my post & ignore the helpful advice.

    No matter, you still have no real walls who can handle NidoKing, a prime force in UU. Tough in OU, too.

    Plus those problems Syaoran said.

    You said that you were replacing Macargo. That's good, as I don't see what he & Amparos acomplishes together. Solorock also won't stop NidoKing at all either.

    Not so hot. Remember, Nidoking has both Sucker Punch & Megahorn, both moves which ends Lunatone. Plus, Lunatone has piss poor defence.You need a true, blue,wall.

    Pinsir also hurts. In fact, any physical sweeper can do a number.

    I added Steelix which I feel should be able to defend against most major physical sweepers in the UU metagame.
     
    Isn't Steelix BL? If so I don't think he can go in UU.
     
    Earthquake & Close Combat can hurt it, so give it a bit of backup. But yeah, it should definately help.
     
    Okay, I'll take your word for it, though I'm not sure he needs Toxic. Explosion is basically a must on Steelix. You could also get rid of Stone Edge for Gyro ball for good STAB that takes advantage of his poor Speed. If you use Gyro Ball, make him Relaxed instead of Impish.
     
    Like hell it is! With his physical problems, he needs to keep it. I wouldsuggest Rest, but that's up to him.
     
    Nah, I meant up to you.

    The computer screen is hurting my eyes, so it's time for a break. Be back to help moar in an hour.

    But just a suggestion, Raichu is basically a faster, slightly weaker ampharos. However, Chu makes up for that with Nasty Plot. In fact, I use one in OU.
     
    How is Steelix is a good suggestion when 5 of 6 pokemon can't take an Earthquake? Solrock can cripple stuff with Will-O-Wisp and hit Nidoking with EQ too.
     
    Despite the weakness, Steelix can take an EQ.
