I'm sort of new to competitive battling, but I figured I'd take a shot at it. This is one of the first teams I've tried to put together, so here goes:

Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
Naughty: 252 Attack, 4 Special Attack, 252 Speed
-Close Combat
-Extremespeed
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Swords Dance

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Ability: Speed Boost
Jolly: 176 HP, 252 Attack, 80 Speed
-Baton Pass
-Aerial Ace
-Swords Dance
-Substitute

Blaziken @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
Rash: 160 Attack, 138 Special Attack, 212 Speed
-Overheat
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Stone Egde
-Sky Uppercut

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Timid: 160 HP, 132 Special Attack, 216 Speed
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Rapid Spin
-Recover

Electivire @ Life Orb
Ability: Motor Drive
Mild: 80 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 176 Speed
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Flamethrower
-Cross Chop

Steelix @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Impish: 252 HP, 120 Attack, 136 Special Defense

Rate, fix, and what have you.

I don't really get the point of the HP Ice. Without it, you could run an Adamant or Jolly nature, which would give better def/spdef (whatever Naughty does) and also, you could lump the rest of the spatt stats into hp. Also, you could change the item for something, but Life Orb can work. You need crunch really, because Frosslass and most ghosts wall this.

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Ability: Speed Boost
Jolly: 176 HP, 252 Attack, 80 Speed
-Baton Pass
-Aerial Ace
-Swords Dance
-Substitute
I would consider X Scissor. Otherwise, carry on.

Blaziken @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
Rash: 160 Attack, 138 Special Attack, 212 Speed
-Overheat
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Stone Egde
-Sky Uppercut
Again. Mixed when it could be so much better as one or the other. HP Ice? Whats that for on here? You want:

Blaziken@Choice Scarf
Adamant
6hp/252att/speed
Sky Uppercut
Flare Blitz
Stone Edge
ThunderPunch / Focus Punch / Brave Bird

Thats the Smogon set, and they know best. Still a bit of an odd set and it could be better if you used the EndRev version.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Timid: 160 HP, 132 Special Attack, 216 Speed
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Rapid Spin
-Recover

Consider Ice Beam over Surf. Its good otherwise

Electivire @ Life Orb
Ability: Motor Drive
Mild: 80 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 176 Speed
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Flamethrower
-Cross Chop

Expert Belt should keep it around longer. There is little this won't be hitting for SE

Steelix @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Impish: 252 HP, 120 Attack, 136 Special Defense
-Earthquake
-Gyro Ball
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion

Consider Stone Edge or Toxic over Gyro Ball.

Rate, fix, and what have you.

This doesn't look too bad on the whole, just a few odd moves that need a little explaining
 
I find it rather humourous that people quote the entire OP without making any changes to it whatsoever. Of course, some people might not register that you are addressing the team in general.

Just saying.
 
What Danbaru's saying is that it helps if you bolded what you want to say.

I´m assuming HP Ice is for Gliscor. In that case, you should go with 232 Atk, 24 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed to ensure the OHKO.

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Ability: Speed Boost
Jolly: 176 HP, 252 Attack, 80 Speed
-Baton Pass
-Aerial AceProtect
-Swords Dance
-Substitute

Much better lead than Lucario. Just max speed and HP.

Blaziken @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
Rash: 160 Attack, 138 Special Attack, 212 Speed
-Overheat
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Stone Egde
-Sky Uppercut

Life Orb + Fire Blast / Sub / HP Grass / Focus Punch is great, better than this IMO. 176 Speed, 80 Atk, 252 Sp.Atk, I think it was. Rash.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Timid: 160 HP, 132 Special Attack, 216 Speed
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Rapid SpinIce Beam
-Recover

Rapid Spin is only for Ninjask, who won´t do too much after the beginning of the battle anyway. Ice Beam for some much needed dragon coverage.

Electivire @ Life Orb
Ability: Motor Drive
Mild: 80 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 176 Speed
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Flamethrower
-Cross Chop

Steelix @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Impish: 252 HP, 120 Attack, 136 Special Defense
-Earthquake
-Gyro Ball
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion

Steelix as your only wall won´t do it. Ninjask isn´t needed so much on the team, since Luke can SD for itself. Get rid of it for a special wall.

I think I will because you told me to.

Anyway, try Reno's ScarfBlaziken as a lead. Lucario doesn't have the ability to deal with other leads/ sweep while opponent's team is at full strength.

Blaziken@Choice Scarf
Nature: Rash
EVs: 132 Atk/240 Spd/136 SAtk
-Fire Blast
-Thunderpunch
-Sky Uppercut
-HP [Ice]

Outruns Weavile and OHKO's. Beats almost all popular leads.
 
for electivire it should look like this

Electivire@adamant
item:expert belt
Ability: electro boost
evs:252 in speed/attack
cross chop
ice punch
earthquake
thunderpunch

Electivire works better as a physical sweeper because it's attack is higher than it's sp.attack

If you like being walled by Weezing, Bronzong, Forretress, Hippowdon, Donphan, Celebi and Tangrowth then it works better than the one above, otherwise no it doesnt

Also, Motor Drive > Electro Boost
