Okay, I'm going to try again with this one. Last time was not great, because most everyone posted saying "mixcario is a dumb name !!!" or "this is a dumb idea !!!" or "you're dumb !!!". Anyway, let's get the discussion rolling. The idea here is Lucario as a mixed attacker. Here's the proposed set:
Mixed v1:
Lucario @ Life Orb
Inner Focus, Mild
-Close Combat
-Hidden Power [Ice]
-Shadow Ball
-Stone Edge
EVs: 80 Atk/204 SpA/224 Spe
Mixed v2:
Lucario @ Life Orb
Inner Focus, Naughty
-Close Combat
-Crunch
-Swords Dance
-Hidden Power [Ice]
EVs: 80 Atk/204 SpA/224 Spe
80 attack is the minimum required to OHKO Blissey with Close Combat. 224 Speed gives 272, enough to outspeed 270s and those who think they can squeak by the 270s with 271. The rest is in Special Attack because HP Ice and Shadow Ball are his weakest attacks (and needed to take down things like Hippowdon and Cresselia). So far the truest counter I've found for this set is Swampert, who is neutral or resists every attack and has STAB Earthquake. In the choice between v1 and v2: v2 is much more sweep-oriented, with the ability to 2HKO Skarm after a Swords Dance (yes, it only needs 80 Atk EVs to guarantee a 2HKO if Skarm has Shed Shell), whereas v1 is designed to remove some walls, cause some confusion as they attempt to predict you in vain, and then make your exit. And Hidden Power Ice does more to Hippowdon than a non-SD Close Combat (damage is pretty close after SD). However, v1 can significantly harm Cresselia without setting up (thanks to Shadow Ball), while even an SD Crunch doesn't 2HKO every time. I've used both sets to success.
CALCULATIONS:
Stone Edge v. BulkyDos: 57.03%-66.93%
Shadow Ball v. Supporting Cresselia (physical): 46.37%-54.66%
Hidden Power Ice v. Gliscor: 116.67%-137.29%
Close Combat v. MixPert: 39.65%-46.63%
Hidden Power Ice v. Hippowdon: 55.48%-65.24%
Close Combat v. Blissey (148 HP EV): 104.07%-122.38%
More calculations will be posted with time. Discuss. And don't comment on the name please.
REGARDING BLAZE KICK V. HIDDEN POWER FIRE:
Blaze Kick v. Skarmory: 32.63% - 38.32%
Hidden Power Fire v. Skarmory: 71.56% - 84.13%
Blaze Kick v. Forretress: 61.58% - 72.60%
Hidden Power Fire v. Forretress: 151.98% - 178.81%
The difference is less meaningful on Forretress, but Skarmory could Whirlwind you out and Roost up if you're 3HKOing it. Also, with Blaze Kick, this'd be a physical set with Shadow Ball for no apparent reason (and basically an awful set). The point is to find a balance between important physical and special attacks to cover main threats. Hidden Power Fire distinctly covers more threats than Blaze Kick (sans Bronzong, who usually runs SpD), but Ice is preferable in 99% of situations anyway (got Magnezone?).
