Lucario: Anti-PSweep

This set is of a Lucario, the same lucario found in Poriyan1's video found at the link here:

Nature: Adamant/Jolly

I prefer the extra speed of Jolly because it allows for a higher possibility of sweeping.

Evs: 252Atk / 6SpDef / 252Spd

Item: Focus Sash

Moveset:
Reversal
Detect
Counter
Extreme Speed

Comments:

Set is meant to stop a physical sweep. Switch in after one of your number falls victim to the physical onslaught. Then simply counter. Almost guaranteed OHKO on anything. If they did not die from counter, then use extreme speed for the finisher. When your opponent sends out something else, Reversal, because at 1hp, Reversal has a base power of 200, without STAB. With something such as this you may be able to turn the tide of any battle. Detect on the set is a good stall move, useful for determining if your opponent intends to status you or not. Also it helps scout the opponent to determine whether they are physical or special attackers. Works well with sandstorm support.

Counters:

Since Focus Sash only works when Lucario is a full HP, stealth rock, hail, and spikes ruin this set. Don't worry about toxic spikes as Lucario is immune to poison. Any sort of non-physical attacker will prevent a counter KO, but assuming you have a fast Lucario, you should be able to KO with STAB reversal. Any ghost type walls this set infinetly as Lucario has no way to damage them. Paralysis of any kind will prevent an after sweep and can possibly hinder the counter KO (if Lucario is fully paralysised).

Overall:

This set adds a new twist on the already mysterious Lucario. It works well as a surprise as not many people would suspect Lucario to be a type of tank instead of a sweeper. It can easily change the tides of battle from "The Swept" to "The Sweeper". But beware, as if you have this set on your team, you need some sort of rapid spinner to prevent a pushover pokemon.
