RM Mixed Lucario

Lol, I'm hoping I get some responses because most people are probably watching the super bowl.

Lucario @ Life Orb/Expert Belt
Rash/Naive
EVs: 252 Spe/ 180 Atk/ 76 Sp.A (Not Sure on EVs, whether I should do 252 Spe/ 240 Atk/ 16 Sp.A welcome EV suggestions)

-Earthquake
-Flash Canon HP Ice
-Dragon Pulse
-Close Combat

Shadow Ball: Rotom-A
Drain Punch- Lets me survive longer
Crunch-Gives me psychic type coverage
Ice Punch

Okay so this set gives nice coverage. The reason I decided to pick Flash Canon over Aura Sphere is because I already have a fighting type stab move but I suppose I can switch to Aura Sphere. EQ gives me coverage to many types. Close Combat is a stab+nice coverage. Dragon Pulse is good coverage. Thanks for reading and constructive criticism is much appreciated.

I'd focus more EVs in Atk since thats its weaker stat and you wanna keep it more balanced.
i feel ice punch deserves an option since if its gonna be in the ou environment than your gonna face threats like latias , hippowdon, flygon and mence. Though you might get screwed over by metagross if they predict the punch. Its an interesting set but the move pool just kinda makes it that much harder to select good STAB and coverage moves.

I think I meant to put EVs more in Atk, I kept switching back in forth but I agree.

I actually didn't lol. thanks for the help, I'm going to wait for some more suggestions before though

Why not Hidden Power Ice instead of Flash Cannon? Steel has terrible coverage.

I know but i used Flash Canon as secondary STAB.

I second this; steel is only a good stab if used with something like steelix or registeel where they're slow enough to abuse gyro ball or need the relative nuetrality it provides with EQ... it's not too good here; I'd suggest HP Ice or Grass... also maybe consider Shadow ball for Rotom A, who will burn you

Lastly consider expert belt as you're gonna get a lot of super effective combos

I take it the first set of EVs were fine? Do you all like the set?

Dragon pulse only covers dragons, ice punch is way better

Dragon has better all around coverage although is doesn't do super-effective to anything besides dragon.

yea but that is why you have already eq and close combat there is your type coverage

you can switch hp ice for hp water or grass (grass for ground types that try to eq lucario, and water for fire types)

Waterkunai, I have coverage to ground types, that's what Hp Ice is for, and ice is good coverage I don't need to cover all my weaknesses, I can simply switch out otherwise.
