INTRODUCING A SET
I wanted to post an [RMT] that introduces BetterThanLori's Lucario set that seems to be a very useful set. My third RMT, so hopefully I get great rates! This will look like my other OU Standard team (a little warning for those "I Hate Standard" people). Well, here it is:
RECENT CHANGES:
NONE
__________________________________________________
"TAUNT LEAD"
GLISCOR @ LEFTOVERS
ABILITY: SAND VEIL
NATURE: JOLLY
EV'S: 204 HP/88 Atk/216 Spd
~ Taunt
~ Stealth Rocks
~ Roost
~ Earthquake
My most favorite lead in the OU metagame. It can outrun many of today's fast leads like Metagross. Taunt is to try to stop the foe from setting up. Focus Sash over Leftovers to survive a OHKO Ice Beam/Hydro Pump from Lead Empoleon and also to ensure survival from Exploding Azelf.

"BULKY WISHER"
VAPOREON @ LEFTOVERS
ABILITY: WATER ABSORB
NATURE: BOLD
EV'S: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spd
~ Protect
~ Wish
~ Surf
~ Hidden Power [Electric]
This set is used to wall the very huge Suicune weakness that I have, even though Suicune can PP Stall me.... Wish support for my team... Counters Heatran, Infernape, Gyarados, etc. Has great synergy with Gliscor...

"PURSUIT BISH"
TYRANITAR @ CHOICE BAND
ABILITY: SAND STREAM
NATURE: ADAMANT
EV'S: 76 HP/252 Atk/176 Spd/4 Spe
~ Pursuit
~ Crunch
~ Aqua Tail
~ Stone Edge
My favorite Blissey counter right after Blissey has been taunted by Gliscor. Pursuit her frail ass away to kingdom come. Same for Celebi and Azelf. Not so sure about Gengar since it almost always packs Focus Blast.
Most of my team resists Sandstorm, so that's good. Sand Veil hax on Gliscor pwns.

"PIXY DUST"
CELEBI @ LEFTOVERS
ABILITY: NATURAL CURE
NATURE: MODEST
EV'S: 232 HP / 244 SpA / 32 Spe
~ Rest
~ Thunder Wave
~ Hidden Power [Fire]
~ Leaf Storm
This set is used to cripple Celebi's common counters like Heatran. I can send in my Heatran to gain some Flash Fire boost. Leaf Storm can OHKO Tyranitar with some Stealth Rocks up. Rest is used to fully heal HP, with the aid of Natural Cure.
Hidden Power [Fire] is for coverage along with Leaf Storm.
Leftovers over Life Orb to neutralize Tyranitar's Sand Stream damage. Life Orb+Sandstorm=quick Rest=quick time for Pursuiters= bad idea=death fodder=.... Well, you get the point....

"(BAN ME PLEASE) BABY"
HEATRAN @ SHUCA BERRY
ABILITY: FLASH FIRE
NATURE: TIMID
EV'S: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Explosion
~ Earth Power
~ Fire Blast
~ Hidden Power [Ice]
The first time I send out this beast, I try to make it look like ScarfTran: use Fire Blast while the foe switches out into a proper counter then switch away Heatran. The second time, my foe thinks it's still a ScarfTran, so he will switch back into his Tran counter. But this time, I know what that counter will be, and will plan accordingly.
In many battles, my opponent usually sends in Blissey instead of his own Tran since he fears Earth Power. I usually overpredict correctly the second time and switch in Tyranitar. Death fodder, baby!
Shuca Berry over Leftovers so that I can succeed in my ScarfTran bluff.

"INTRODUCING BULKY SHUCA LUCA"
LUCARIO @ SHUCA BERRY
ABILITY: INNER FOCUS
NATURE: ADAMANT
EV'S: 196 HP/252 Atk/60 SpD
~ Close Combat
~ Swords Dance
~ Ice Punch
~ Extremespeed
I once had an opponent switch a bulky Flygon in on my Swords Dance. I laughed and Swords Danced again as he Earthquaked, then destroyed his team. There was this other time a Gliscor tried to kill me. I laughed as he died to a swift Ice Punch. This other time Zapdos came in.. It was shocked as I survived the Heat Wave, and OHKOed with a +4 Extremespeed. I stayed in on a Weavile and Electivire in two double switching incidents, Swords Dancing right in front of both and killing them. Bulky Shuca Lucario is a set I swear by. Say all you want about the power loss, the defenses allow it boost to power levels standard Life Orb Lucario could never dream of against a competent player. Generally this is guarenteed a kill even in the worst cases. Tyranitar's Sandstorm helps guarentee the kill against Zapdos with +4 Extremespeed and slaughters Rotom & Cresselia, and does its best against Gengar. Lucario repays the favor by swiftly eliminating Gliscor and luring out Hippowdon and Skarmory.
