Ok, Im planning to make a team out of these pokemon:


And I want to ask your opinion.. Is it a good idea to max out Luxrays defensive and attacking side instead of his speed and attack stats?? I mean, Luxrays speed is not as good as his defensive stats.. Of course, spreading 252 EV's in three stats wont increase them significantly, while putting them all on speed will add 63 points to the stat.. But the defensive side will work better with one or two stages of defense and special defense plus a substitude passed from Driflim.. And finally Luxray can have Intimidate, wich works well here..

Finally, more defense wont hurt Lucario too..

Lets hear your opinions..

Edit: Its not for competitive battling.. It should be my in-game team, but still, I want to make the team as good as I can..

Edit#2: So I just read these lines:
"When Baton Passed, Substitute keeps its HP but uses the types and defenses of the new Pokémon. The Substitute does not take damage from Spikes or Stealth Rock; the Pokémon receiving the Substitute does. Baton Passing a Substitute prevents Toxic Spikes from Poisoning the recipient." - Smogon

Knowing this, its a real temptation for me to put 252 EV's on Driflims HP and 128 EV's on Luxrays defenses..

With baton Passing subs and luxrays intimidate, I say invest the EVs in for luxray in attack and Speed so it can hopefully KO before the sub gets broken. and I'd put as much HP and Def EV on drifblilm so he can pass the sub without breaking.
Also if speed is an issue on Luxray try giving him or drifbilm T-wave.

Well, I think you've got a point there..

Now Im thinkig about having two Luxrays in a team to be able to use Attract..

1. Driflim T-waves, Stockpiles, Subs and passes everything to to the male or female Luxray, depending on the gender of the foe..
2. Luxray Attracts, confuses the foe with Swagger and starts attacking.. Hopefully knocks out the foe.. But now I dont if the next pokemon is going to be a male or a female, so I switch out to Driflim again.. Plus, the new foe now is much speedier and has a high chance of attacking first..

Now the problem is Driflims endurance.. Im not sure if it will be able do its job for so many turns without beeing healed..

Anyway, thats still just an idea.. Wich, I feel, is a bit too complicated.. What do you think??

I think Vaporeon would work better than drifblim


Vaporeon - Damp rock / leftovers
- Baton Pass
- Substitute / Acid Armour / Yawn
- Wish / Icebeam
- Rain Dance / Surf

Vaporeon learns Attract as well so you wouldn't need 2 Luxrays. Rain Dance can make thunder deadly if you put it on luxray. You can make vapoeroen a special sweeper and luxray a physical sweeper they should be a good partnership

Drifblim can be used simarly


Drifblim - Damp Rock / leftovers
Leichi Berry / Damp Rock
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Hypnosis
- Rain Dance

I would use Luxray as a mixed sweeper, max out his speacal attack then spread the rest between speed and attack. He has good type coverage so he should sweep pretty well, could suprise kill a few pokemon.


Luxray - Life Orb
- Thunder / Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Grass
- Crunch
- Ice Fang
