I'm sorry I don't have anything better, but I think you can see the team in action and the function of each one. It expresses everything I mentioned. And yes, maybe my elo isn't very high, but it's been a long time since the game and the ladder didn't motivate me like it used to.
Custap Berry Gengar & Agility special Luc
I like the choice of this round, so I have decided to participate.
Lucario is one of my favourite pokemon, and its special version, although it may be inferior to the physical one, can give good results.
For this occasion, I didn't think much about the specs set, so, if there's no problem, I decided to make it LO Agility while keeping 3 special moves. It may not be a great innovation, but I wanted to try something different. As are its EVs. 124 in speed to beat Flygon Scarf +2 Agility, simple. FBlast with LO support allows me to finish SpD fable.
Gengar has very good synergy with Lucario, the pokemon of choice this time. Considering SR+Spikes, I had to put in the famous spinblock, and I came up with Custap Berry Gengar. It's true that it's not very viable. The idea is to enter vs Starmie offensively with Hpump (not LO), and surprise with SBall. The EVs are designed to fit SR+Hpump damage. Taunt + DBond seems like a great combination to me, since you can force something else to hit you and use DB first.
Skarmory's turn. In every team with Lucario, there should be a Spikes user, as it's a very offensive pokemon that makes good use of this. I'm not sure about that EV split. I left it that way because it can fit 2 DMs of Latias / 3 Surf specs. On the physical side (108 EVs), it can take Waterfall +4 Gyara or +3 FPunch Nite / DD ttar. I added Shed Shell, taking advantage of the fact that I have a ground type in the team (which I'll give way to), and it covers very well with Skarmory.
Well, the Quagsire is not much of a science. I added it also because I needed something else to get into water moves. The EVs are from the Smogon Dex. I don't know if there's a better one, but this one allows you to hold 5 IB of offensive Starmie/3 SBall LO Gengar, for example. I opted for Curse instead of Toxic or Encore. It's a bit depending on the team, I guess.
Ttar the 4th generation 'Landorus-Therian'. My SR user, who can also threaten Starmie, Latias or Gengar with Pursuit. 248 HP / 184 SpD to fit just 3 DMs of Latias specs. The rest of the EVs go for the attack. 76 + Adamant Nature can eliminate Fable with SPower. The berry is always an unknown, but I prefer Chople, as it gives me more safety vs FBlast Gengar or things with HP Fighting like LO Rotom / NP Azelf in lesser cases.
We finished with Latias. Besides being my other water resistance (even though Quagsire is immune), it covers most of ttar's weaknesses well. There's not much mystery here either, since it's the specs set with Stalk for Spore loom. I can also try to control threats like nape (watch out for Uturn) and get trapped with Pursuit ttar. Trick on DPulse to disable special walls like fable itself, Blissey or even Snorlax. I find it more useful, although Dpulse is also useful. You're not threatened to miss and you hit hard without needing to be at -2.
