Lucario, a fearsome sweeper after gaining a single Swords Dance boost. Right now, Lucario seems like a great fit for Team two. It easily tackles Pursuit users (Tyranitar) that want to take advantage of Celebi, revenging it with the threat of a SE CC, and setting up a SD while it switches. With Bullet Punch, Lucario has a second form of priority and STAB, taking down Terrakion, Gengar and Scarf Ttar, all of which are faster than Lucario and can deal heavy damage.
However, Crunch and Ice Fang can also take the last slot, Crunch helping take out Lati@s while Ice Fang will maul Garchomp and Lando. Still, I prefer the priority and secondary STAB, due to Lucario's low base speed.

I would definitely go with Ice Punch over Bullet Punch so that you can actually nab a kill against Landorus on a switch-in. Without it, it won't mind switching in on Swords Dance and KO'ing with Earthquake, as Extremespeed won't KO. If it knows you have Ice Punch (by the nature of this topic, it will), it won't necessarily be as free to switch in.
