Lucario@Choice Specs
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Shadow Ball / Dark Pulse
- Psychic
- HP [Ice] / Dragon Pulse

SpecsLuke is generally the better option for special Lucario. The first two moves are self explanatory, Psychic is for Heracross / Infernape switch ins (basically it's filler), and HP [Ice] / Dragon Pulse is for Dragons. Water Pulse is generally useless on Lucario since you'll hit things harder with STAB Aura Sphere.

Sub > Barrier on Mr. Mime.

Spiritomb's more like this.

Spiritomb@lefties
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Atk / 144 SDef
Careful Nature
- Will-o-Wisp
- Taunt
- Sucker Punch
- Pain Split

Makes for a decent starter pokemon: Taunt the opposing pokemon, then Sucker Punch away. Pain Split when you get low on health, and burn physical sweepers with Will-o-Wisp. Watch for Heracross, because it will be the last thing you do if you burn it.

Adamant > Jolly on Vire: providing it switches into an electric attack there's little you can't outrun on Adamant.

Mixpert > Physical pert.

Swampert@lefties
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 212 Def / 56 SAtk
Relaxed Nature
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Surf / Hydro Pump
- Stealth Rock / Protect / Stone Edge

Unlike Avalanche / Ice Punch, Ice Beam isn't affected by Intimidate. A mixed moveset also means you don't get shut down by Skarmory or Weezing, but if you're thinking of 2KOing them Hydro Pump is the only thing that cuts it. The fourth moveslot can be a support move of your choice, but you can run Stone Edge for Gyarados.

X-Scissor > AA on Ninjask.

Team is Heracross weak.

Vire is generally better with the mixed set:
Electivire @ Expert Belt/Life Orb
Lonely/Naughty
252 Atk/ 80 Sp Atk/ 176 Speed
Earthquake
Cross Chop
Ice Punch
Thunderbolt

Lets you OHKO Skarm.
Vire's speed also isn't wonderful so if you want to run a physical set, Adamant is better.

You could put in Vacuum Wave in over Psychic (On Frost Nova's suggested Specsluke) for a Quick Attack.

Substitute is generally better on Jask (over Protect), imo.
 
The only advantage T-Bolt Vire has over the pure physical one is that you don't get walled silly by Weezing: T-Punch 2KOs Skarm anyway, and most bulky waters won't be staying in against Vire.

Vacuum Wave is another option for Lucario: it won't KO Weavile though, so keep that in mind.
 
yeah but t bolt helps a little still so put it in
 
It really depends on what you want to do with Vire: do you want it to have a bit more speed over the ability to hurt Weezing, or do you want to have something to take on physical walls at the cost of splitting your EVs?

To split or not to split: that is the question everyone using Electivire has to answer.
 
I prefer phsyical Lucario (see below) and I dont suggest starting with him. I would suggest Spiritomb or Ninjask as your starter.

Swords Dance
Close Combat
Crunch
Substitute

Yeah, the special one is great, but I find the physical one a bit better.

The Mr.Mime is okay, but I would suggest Substitute over Barrier. In my experience Substitutes are more useful for the recieving Poke than a Barrier.

If decide you want to start with Spiritomb, try this

Will-o-wisp
Sucker Punch
Pain Split
Pursuit

If you dont want to open with Spiritomb, this will work better

Nasty Plot
Shadow Ball
Hypnosis
Hidden Power (any type thats not Ghost or Dark, but Id say fighting covers the most).

Your Electivire looks good, but use Thunderbolt over ThunderPunch if you enjoy fooling you opponent into thinking your going special or mixed and if you want to do more damage to Forretress and Weezing.

For Swampert I like

Stealth Rock
Avalanche
Stone Edge
Earthquake

I havent used special or mixed Swamperts this gen, so I dont suggest them yet.

On Ninjask I think Substitute is better than Protect, because if your lucky you can pass on the Substitute and I think X-Scissor is a better option for an attacking move than Aerial Ace because you can beat Darks and Psychics with it.
 
if u want special lucario use palcity which i can give so pm me for offer cos this is a rmt
 
I don't like having a Substitute Ninjask because they can kinda get stuck in a rut-for lack of a better term- and end up just boosting the next pokemon's speed and I've seen this in action and its not always enough to be speedy. And my Vire's attack is ridiculous for a Jolly lol and with Ninjask's help he'll be able to take care of things. Even without it, hes alright. Substituting Mr. Mime is a good idea and thanks for that. If anyone has a suggestions for replacing Lucario for a another Special, please let me know. I'm getting a little bored with him :P Thanks for the help. Please make more suggestions
