The point is, Lucario outpaces just about the entire physical attacking side of Ubers, with the possible exception of Rayquaza, who must use V-Create (those stat drops mean you pretty much have to switch out) and Outrage (let's get locked into an attack that gives Fairies a free turn!) on top of...

Looking back on my posts, yeah, I failed horribly. But on the bright side, unboosted Jolly Close Combats HIT HARDER THAN CB GROUDON (!) 252 Atk Adaptability Mega Lucario Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 252 Def Arceus-Water: 198-234 (44.6 - 52.8%) -- 22.7% chance to 2HKO 252 Atk Choice Band Groudon...

No crap, but how useful might it be? Especially considering that Blissey and Lucario share a weakness and Lucario is switching is, soaking up an attack.

How might some synergy with Bilssey and NP Lucario work? Blissey uses Gravity for Lucario, who then would get perfect Fail Blast.

Since Lucario is as frail as it is, why not have a Baton Passer for him? Mew@Leftovers Ability: Synchronize EVs: 248 Hp/4 Def/4 SpD/252 Spe Timid/Jolly Nature - Rock Polish - Swords Dance/Nasty Plot - Gravity? - Baton Pass Mew's weakness tend to have good synergy with Lucario's resists, but...

If other Aegislash tend to be a problem, even with Brave/Quiet and 0 speed IVs, why not make it Lv.99? Also, lagging tail may work, but I imagine LO is just plain better. Finally, what are the merits of Substitute on a special set? It may well save you from a blow in Blade form, plus...

Well, after countless Showdown battles, I can say that WoW+Shadow Sneak+Outrage+Roar is excellent, and is usually a safe way for me to open up. I cannot even begin to count how many people have switched in Xerneas on Outrage (often to their surprise that it cancels, often without confusion) and...

252 SpA Fairy Aura Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Giratina-O: 420-494 (83.3 - 98%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Assuming no SR, nope. But most Giratina-O don't run Roar, so surprise factor there

A decent set I've found is: Giratina-Origin @ Griseous Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252Hp/252Atk/4SpD Adamant Nature - Shadow Sneak/Shadow Claw/Shadow Force - Will-O-Wisp/Defog - Outrage - Roar A big threat to G-O, Xerneas, enjoys switching in on Outrage to set up with Geomancy. Outrage then...

I see Flash Cannon most certainly overtaking either Fail Blast or Fusion Flare (and Iron Head becoming a thing on Ky-B), for the nice Fairy coverage. Most likely FB will get the axe. Though I've always wondered, why even use Earth Power when Fusion Flare is 10 BP stronger, and both hit Steel...

Firstly, to get Iron Tail you must complete a Sinnoh Tale, which means that getting a perfect IV Luke is out of the question. I do see your point; good thing I bred both variants. But, I guess the debate is pure power over reliable, consistent damage. The physical set is limited in options...

You have to agree, though, that he still poses the threat of setting up. If you get that opportunity, he will dominate, though it may be difficult. However, 4x resistances to Bug and Rock are useful, especially the SR resist. 112 Speed, paired with Adaptability Vacuum Wave, is pretty fast...

Special Lucario calcs (after finding the right thread). Just thought I'd share these. Special Luke dominates vs. Physical Luke, due to its excellent plain coverage and reliability. +2 252 SpA Adaptability Mega Lucario Flash Cannon vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Rayquaza: 400-472 (113.9 - 134.4%) --...

Given that AS murders everything that FC doesn't, I may go with AS/FC/DP/NP then, and exclude VW. Damn 4MSS... On that note, time to farm heart scales.

Ah. I see. How about Vacuum Wave? Still can't decide on that one.
