Scarf Salamence however is really important, idk how I managed to forget about it.
Personally I always run +Spe Natures on Salamence; 10% extra power isn't much, and if you've got a Moxie snowball going, that extra power will probably end up being negligible. On the other hand, by running Naive/Jolly, you beat all kinds of Choice Scarf Kyurem-B with Scarf or +1 Speed (something Salamence shouldn't be losing to). The Speed tie with positive base 100s (ScarfRachi anyone?) is also a pretty big deal. Not that Jolly Luke is common, but I'd rather outspeed all variants of Lucario with my Intimidate Salamence than get a most likely negligible amount of extra "oomph" to Outrage, as shown by SJCrew's calcs.
