==General== *Both highly usable Special Attack and Physical Attack stats *Acceptable 90 base speed *Access to a STAB priority move in Bullet Punch and Vacuum Wave. Also has Extremespeed *Abilities are anti-Flinch: Steadfast boosts its speed and Inner Focus won't make Lucario flinch. *Flexible and can run at least two different sets *Access to both Nasty Plot and Swords Dance ==Swords Dancer== Lucario (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Inner Focus EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly/Adamant Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)/(+Atk, -SAtk) -Swords Dance -Close Combat -Extremespeed -Crunch/Ice Punch/Bullet Punch *Similar to OU's Life Orb set, except that it uses a Focus Sash, so super effective moves won't OHKO it, and allows Lucario two attacks, or one swords dance and one attack *Swords Dance brings Lucario's attack to 700 with Adamant Nature *Extremespeed is priority *Crunch hits Deoxys-D and Pokemon weak against Dark Type moves, while Ice Punch hits Gliscor, Togekiss, and Dragonite, Bullet punch is a priority STAB move, for faster Pokemon who are resistant or immune to extremespeed *For Bullet Punch, Adamant Nature is preferred, as speed is not as important for priority moves ==Wise Guy== Lucario (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Inner Focus EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid/Modest Nature (+Spd, -Atk)/(+SAtk, -Atk) -Nasty Plot -Aura Sphere -Vacuum Wave/Hidden Power [Ice] -Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball ==Set Comments== -Works the same way as Sword Dance set, except in the special side -Nasty Plot brings Lucario's special attack stat even higher than its sword dance set -Aura Sphere can't miss. Much more enjoyable than Focus Blast -Vacuum wave is priority STAB move while HP Ice hits Gliscor and Flying types -Dark Pulse gives a Flinch chance, but Fighting types resist it. Shadow Ball, on the other hand, can hit for neutral damage and hit psychics such as Reuniclus for high damage ==Other Options== -Being in a 1v1 match means that Lucario cannot afford to do anything else but to hit hard. Counter is a viable move, but only against physical attackers, meaning there is a substantial risk in using Counter. ==Checks & Counters== -Fake Out users can break Lucario's Sash, but thanks to Inner Focus, Lucario can continue doing what it was doing anyway -Pokemon with a faster priority move that can live a hit usually come out ahead. -Sub-Disable Gengar gives Lucario some trouble
Please forget this one. Though it has a few more things than Mewthree's, it looks like it's done anyway. xP
