Your Lucario needs to be redone. If nothing else, get another one like it with Sp. Attack EVs, or just put on some physical moves onto the one that you have.

[dr00]

you need to redo a lot. the 255/255 spreads aren't useful for everyone, and 252/252/4 is better anyway.

even with choice scarf, kabutops is going to be outsped by a lot of things with adamant nature.

agree with Lefties. you need spatk on lucario and psychic > dragon pulse ;/

you have two thunders and someone with swift swim yet no rain dance?



and you're a brave person for using probopass. good luck with that.

He should probably keep dragon pulse considering that he has no other dragon or ice moves lol.

This really needs a lot of work.
You have no recovery at all on this team. Not even leftovers.

Why aqua jet on a scarfed tops?

dragon pulse on lucario is always useless because he cannot outspeed any dragon except maybe altaria, especially with modest nature.

i was going to say almost the same exact thing as dr00
apart from this i think heracross should hold a choice band...
and why to give raikou calm mind if he has choice specs?
and with blaziken... choose night slash because he aint gonna survive long enough to use mirror move :P

Yep these guys are right your Lucario needs to be redone. You have special attack moves therefore you need EV's in Sp. Atk. Adamant nature works good for a psysical attacking Lucario.

ummmm..... well your teams good, but i have my doubt on some of the pokes on your team... lest say like raikou, youd go better of with an electrevire. and you blaziken would be better replaced with a infernape, its the same type and its a lot faster and last your kabutops... immm id choose an aerodactyl its somewhat faster plus it can learn ice fang to counter dragons, grass and flying types.... all of these pokemon with their respective ev spread

Dragon Pulse is for huge neutral coverage which can be useful when you are using Choice Specs, not sure on its useful nees when Orbed. But if you are using Sp.Atk its better to specs it.
And You may want to change your Raikou.
Its using Choice Specs but has Clam Mind in its move set.

with psychic and his other moves, he can hit everything in the game for neutral or better though. the fact that psychic can actually hit things for SE while dragon pulse really can't makes it the better option.

He outspeeds Dragonite does he not? he can hit mences on the switch in right? Kingdra is only weak to dragon and he outspeeds it right?

Most of the time, I would agree with you. But he has nothing to hit dragons. Obviously, dragon pulse isn't the best dragon counter; but, he needs something to take em out with.

outspeed kingdra? not with swift swim or dragon dance, and i dare you to find any without it. same for dragonite really.


psychic can hit lots of fighting types as many of them are slow, like machamp, but especially toxicroak, who resists everything else on that moveset and can hit back with STAB close combat.

without hp ice or agility, lucario just isn't a very viable dragon counter, but sure, you could try hitting salamence on the switch in, but it also works for psychic hitting scarfcross for SE, who also resists everything else on his moveset.
