Pokémon Lucario

[Xylen]

I haven't tried this in XY, but what about Scarf Lucario? It helps Lucario's speed problem a little bit.

Unfortunately, this set lacks the power of the other sets, but 110/115 offenses are still nothing to sneeze at. Still, Physical Luscarfrio only 2HKOes Gliscor: 252 Atk Lucario Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 184+ Def Gliscor: 192-228 (54.2 - 64.4%) -- 90.2% chance to 2HKO after Poison Heal
but can still has a chance to OHKO Physical Defensive Blissey: 252 Atk Lucario Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 632-746 (88.5 - 104.4%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

Special calcs:
252 SpA Lucario Aura Sphere vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Greninja: 320-378 (111.8 - 132.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO (No s*** I know)
252 SpA Lucario Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Slowbro: 192-228 (48.7 - 57.8%) -- 57.8% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Lucario Psychic vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tentacruel: 156-184 (42.8 - 50.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery

So yeah, probably not worth it, but has anyone tried Scarfed Lucario or is willing to try it in this metagame? It looks interesting at least and worked for me in Gen IV.

I've used a scarf Lucario but I dont find it working too well. It could work better with a Focus sash though.

Would Blaze Kick have any use, even just coverage?

I'd assume to fry stuff like Scizor, but Lucario usually dosen't need the coverage that Fire provides, he can break through Steel and Ice Types with it's Fighting STAB, while it can break through the Grass Types with Ice Punch, really the only thing Blaze Kick provides is a way to get past Bug Types, and unless your name is Scizor/Forretress you also have Stone Edge if Bugs are for some reason a problem. The only niche I see from Blaze Kick is nuking stuff like Scizor.
