Beware. . .AURA FORCE 4th gen battle tower (HG/SS)

Hi evrybody i just recently joined smogon and I just made this team for the battle tower in pokemon heartgold. After seeing the records of people like jumpman 16, i was encouraged to make this:

Lucario @Life orb
Adamant, inner focus
-Close combat
-Crunch
-Extreme speed
-Sword dance
Evs:252 atk, 252 spe, 4 sdf

Lucario is my fave poke, and his role in this team is fairly simple. He comes out first in d battle and at the site of what won't murder him (fire/ground/fight). I use sword dance and proceed to sweep with the perfect coverage his 3 moves provide. I can usually end the match with just him, if some physical tank or a lucario counter should come in, i either try my hax or switch to a more appropriate pokemon.

Dragonite @Choice specs
Mild, inner focus
-Draco meteor
-Fire blast
-Thunderbolt
-Aerial ace
Evs:252 satk, 252 spe, 4 hp

i bring draggy in on any of lucario's weaknesses. He's natural bulk takes the resisted hit. Then he fires back a stab, choice specs Draco meteor or whatever is more effective on the opponent. Aerial ace is 4 double team-ers and stuff like heracross. Thunderbolt 4 bulky waters like gyarados and fire blast 4 steels (duh!). After the first dm i either use it again or bring in lucario again, to resume sweeping.

Slowbro @Leftovers
Bold, own tempo
-Surf
-Psychic
-Ice beam
-Slack off
Evs:252 hp, 252 def, 4 sdf

The tank of d team, the other 2 r mor atak oriented . It dishes out stab supr efectiv surfs to ground and fire types that mite maim lucario. Psychic covers pokemon like toxicroak, it deals wit d fiters dat culd equally maim lucario. It can come in on ice moves aimed at dragonite, and also kill opposin dragons wit ice beam.

That's pretty much d team. Lucario and Dragonite have good synergy wit moves and typing, and slowbro just adds to it and gives me someone to tank hits wit. Checkin d team and offerin advice would be greatly apreciated. While i don't think i can change d pokemon, feel free to mess with evrytin els and rate what ive already done. Please and thank u in advance.
 
Not a Battle Tower expert, but I would definitely replace Aerial Ace. Flying is a poor STAB type, and you could use another coverage move. If you are going to use a physical attack, maybe try Outrage or Earthquake.

I'd also suggest Focus Sash on Lucario, because later on in the Battle Tower, Pokemon are going to hit hard, and if you want to Swords Dance up, Focus Sash is the best option to guarantee a Swords Dance, or two hits.

Good luck!
 
Slowbro looks good. I'd say use Calm Mind over Ice Beam, because Ice Beam only hits Grass types and Dragon types for more damage. You'd be switching out to Dragonite if a Grass type is present, and Psychic does a lot to Dragon types anyways. Calm Mind on the other hand, helps you boost your Special Attack and Special Defense (considering you don't hit very hard and you don't have that much Special bulk).

Thats all. You can keep Aerial Ace if you want, but I'd take it off if I were you ;)

Good luck!
 
I don't really understand the need of having to use Slowbro on this team. Since it's just an offensive team, I suggest you follow the offensive through to the root
 
@belphagor
I need slowbro becuz of my oponents sweepers. Also 4 coverage on weaknesses. 3 sweepers sounds risky. Also if anyone can give me a trick scarf lead set 4 dis team it wud b greatly apreciated, as i am new 2 d technique. I'll probably replace Slowbro with it later on in d tower.
