Ok Ive Been Googling Forever And Nothing.
So Here Will Work I Guess.
I Want My Rilou/Lucario To Learn BOTH Bullet Punch AND Crunch...How Exactly Does This Work?
Do I Need To Have Smeargle Or Something?
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lucario_(Pokémon)#Learnset should help.
And yes, Smeargle can pass down both moves since they're both in the ground egg group.

Anything faster my magnezone is getting owned my metagrosses
You could try Swampert, then, especially if you run Cursepert (Curse, EQ, Waterfall, Ice Punch). That works pretty nicely, and after a Curse or two, even Metagross will have problems with it. Although, it isn't a dedicated Steel killer... Skamory, for example, can Whirlwind it out and really screw you up.

As you said yourself, Blue Rabbit, Swampert won't work as a "Steel killer," thus Swampert doesn't meet Skyler's needs.
And, Skyler, Magnezone works just fine as a Steel-type trapper and is the best at it. Max Hp Metagross won't ever be OHKO by Magnezone's Thunderbolt even while holding Choice Specs. This isn't so bad, though, because you wouldn't be able to outspeed Metagross anyways for the KO. Can you let me know your team to tell you a way to deal with Metagross?
Personally i would send in Cresselia since it has great defenses and HP and she resists Machamps STAB attacks because of her typing. And Cresselia easely takes out Machamp with STAB Psychic.When someone sends in a Machamp, what Pokemon does the opponent usually send in to take it out, and with what move?
This is a pretty good offensive Cresselia set:
Cresselia @ Lum Berry/ Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 96 HP / 252 SpA / 160 Spe
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Moonlight
-Hidden Power Fighting / Signal Beam
You can either use Leftovers or the Lum Berry. Leftovers give you slight HP recovery every turn, while the Lum Berry protects you against status problems. You can use what you think that is important for your team. Personally i would use the Lum Berry, but if you already have a Cleric like Blissey, Celebi or Miltank on your team i would use the Leftovers. Only use Signal Beam if you don't have acess to Hidden Power Fighting or if your power is to low.

96 isnt that to low?
Oh, okay. Well, things like that can happen. Anyways, the set looks good but i wouldn't use it as a Cresselia counter because Machamp will always lose in the end. Magnezone does a better job with that. I would advice this set:Actually, I meant a way for Machamp to kill Cresslia. Sorry about that.
Right now I'm going with Substitute/Bulk Up/Dynamic Punch/Payback.
Magnezone @ Life Orb
Nature: Mild
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 88 HP / 88 Atk / 248 SpA / 84 Spe
-Thunderbolt
-Signal Beam
-Explosion
-Metal Sound

Anybody know if the 4 EVs from power items are also doubled by pokerus?
I got a few pokes with pokerus and haven't used it for EV training because I wasn't sure of its exact effects.

Can really Scizor do that much to Champ?
Well, I caught a Mesprit and its nature is Timid. According to a site you all most likely know, the best set for a Timid Mesprit is the Calm Mind Boltbeaming one, with the EVs distributed the following way: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 Spe. My dilemma starts here; I don’t really wish to make it an attacker. I mean, the set I was originally going after uses that combo, okay, but it has a Bold Nature and the following EVs: 252 HP / 124 Def / 36 SpA / 96 SpD.
I want to follow something like that, something balanced or defensive for my Mesprit, but…Timid Nature…fghfh. Can the EVs be adjusted for a Timid Nature? If so, how?
