Anubis is the ancient Egyptian God of Death... And hes come to claim his throne.
Hey there, so I've been lurking on these forums for sometime now and been playing competitive mons since late 3rd gen. I've never amounted to much on the ladder due to my own playful nature and testing so many mons out, never caring for my rank but this team I feel is quite possibly the best and most balanced team I've used. The goal is to help and achieve a Lucario clean up sweep as Lucario is my favourite pokemon. So without anymore delays heres the team?

In Depth:
Adamant/252Spe 112Atk 126Hp 4Def 16Spd - Multiscale
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Fire Punch
Earthquake
So Dragonite has amazing chemistry with Lucario, she covers all of his weaknesses and can also dish out some punishment in return.
MultiScale was the make or break choice between Dnite and Mence. The Evs are basicly for some bulk without taking away to much from her sweeping capabilities however shes really just Lucarios "Fail Safe" and helps synergize well with him. I was Previously running the infamous Stone_cold Set that he used in his own RMT called "Reflections" wich really inspired me into using Dnite to support Lucario. All in all a great pokemon and works well with this team. The move set is extremely obvious and the only thing i think i should point out is Earthquake over Espeed for coverage and because i already have 2 priority users thus far. Fire punch for ferrothorn and scizor. Dragon dance to boost her to sky high levels and outrage is the cherry ontop :) her nick name is Cuddles.
Adamant/252Atk 252Spe 4Hp -Inner Focus
Swords Dance
Close Combat
Extreme Speed
Crunch/ Ice Punch
Well this is the focal point of the team. All efforts go into supporting him and allowing him to wreck everything. Although it isn't easy as I would like it to be. Crunch is there mainly for Jellicent and other bulky ghosts. It also lets me hit Reuniclus hard. I realize without ice punch I'm walled by Gliscor but i find when i was running ice punch gliscor either outsped me or i was walled by the earlier mentioned pokemon. Close combat OHKOs Skarm after SR and SD. Something that makes Lucario the amazing wall breaking beast it is. Ferrocent? SkarmBliss?< Lucario. Extreme Speed is self explanitory and has saved me countless times. Lucario is very underrated and I find a lot of teams don't really prepare for him well enough. His Nickname is Anubis the Egyptian God of death, as the title of this RMT might suggest.
Timid/252Spatk 252Spe 6Hp - Flash Fire
Stealth Rock
Fire Blast/ Lava Plume
Earth Power
Hidden Power Ice
Well I needed SR and i decided a good way to help any team succeed was a FWG core. So i added Heatran to be that Fire pokemon. 4x Resisting Ice and immunity to fire he too works extremely well with Dragonite in covering each others weaknesses. He absorbs fire aimed at Lucario and is a wonderful Scizor check. Heatran also helps Dnite combat Sun teams.The set I'm using is fairly standard but effective and suits my team well. Lava plume for burns/ Fire blast for when I feel I'm lacking the damage out put I desire. Earth power for opposing heatrans, and HP ice for Dragons who lock themselves into Outrage...Also for gliscor before my Balloon breaks or on the switch. One thing I can say about this heatran is aside from it being offensively EV'd its defense still holds up when needed, and for those times when I know it wont I have a solid core to help him through it. His name is Trantastic
Bold/248Hp 216Def 44Spe - Water absorb
Recover
Toxic
Scald
Taunt
Well heres the water pokemon in my FWG core, also providing useful resistances and immunities. If you havent noticed by now Im fighting weak. Jellicent helps that and Also has a water Immunity wich is always welcomed when dealing with Rain teams. Jellicent spreads Status well and helps cripple opposing threats and allow Lucario to sweep easier. He works well with Heatran too and helps deal with Gliscor and Landorus. Scald is for STAB and burns. We all know despite scald having a 30% burn rate in all actuality its really 100%. Anyways Toxic is for Volcarona and wearing down more bulky mons. Recover is obvious and Taunt ruins blissey and other slower walls like Ferrothorns day. His Nickname is Pringles ( yes i know generic and common too bad).
Naive/252Spe 146Atk 112Hp - Justified
Swords Dance
Leaf Blade
Stone Edge/HP ice?
Close Combat
Finally the death of all rain teams, and the Grass of my FWG core, Virizion is a wonderful pokemon to have on any team. She Sweeps quite often as not many people really prepare for her. It only takes one turn to set up and wreck shit. Swords dance is for boosting her less than desirable attack to much needed levels. Leaf Blade provides reliable Stab and works as the main answer to rain. Close combat is also a great stab however I try to not use it as often because in doing so it lowers her special defense( something i tend to count on when dealing with Scarf Rotoms and such) Stone edge is for Gyarados and Other flyers also hits various dragons hard and believe it or not but I've even KO'd Volc on the switch. HP ice i tend to lean on more than Stone edge, because it helps nail Gliscor and Landorus. HP ice also doesn't miss all the time. Her nickname is DaisyDukes (found it appropriate to her typing)
Adamant/248atk 248Hp 12Spe -Technician
U-turn
Bullet Punch
Super Power
Pursiut
Scizors ability to revenge kill pokemon is unmatched. CB variant of scizor is common however effective. U-turn hurts. Bullet punch is the point of CB scizor. The last two moves go hand in hand, pursuit trapping ghosts and psychics, however one must be careful as many common pokes you might hope to pursuit carry HP fire now, Super power in my experience is more of a move one might use while predicting a scizor counter, but none the less a great and powerful move. Scizor combines with Dragonite amazingly and helps kill off pokemon who might interfere with Lucarios sweep. He also hits Reuniclus hard. Excellent pokemon and its no wonder why everyone uses one. Nickname is Scarab
Threat list...(pending)
Since making the switch to Scizor over Sigilyph , and HP ice over stone edge on Virizion my threats i was used to have been less trouble. Any new threats would be welcomed when spotted :)

Conclusion : I wanted a team not weak to Volt-Turn , i wanted to be able to handle weather well, and i wanted NO weather of my own but more than that i wanted Lucario to thrive. I feel I've achieved that so far but am always looking for useful additions and critics. In Addition I never lead with the same pokemon i always lead with whats appropriate to the team.
Thanks alot for taking the time to read and rate. My name on PO is either Ecksploding or Eckstreme. :)
