I like this moveset for starter infernape (if its possible you could breed another one)

Infernape @ Naive
Focus Sash
252 Speed Split Attack and Split Sp. Attack i forget.

Fake Out
Stealth Rock
Fire Blast
Close Combat

I use this infernape its an anti lead. Infernape ususally scares away Bronzong, so you get a free SR down. Fake otu the sashers, and close combat for STAB.

One thing for sure is laying down rocks is good cos, it rips any flying-ou pokemon tryign to switch in (since i could see, that your running a fighting mono team, Togekiss and them are gonna try to air slash, etc, sr will help alot)

Also try getting HP Ice on Lucario, but anyways you wont do dat its oto much work

Thanks for the advice. I think I found a better lead than ape tho. Im going to use gallade. Heres the set:

Gallade @ Lum Berry
64 HP / 252 Atk / 192 Sp.D
Adamant : Steadfast
- Hypnosis
- Close Combat
- Bulk-Up
- Stone Edge

Im probably going to get rid of close combat for psycho cut and then I'm probably going to get rid of close combat on ape for nasty plot instead.

Or I might run your lead ape because the idea of stealth rock is very nice. I would probably get rid of close combat for grass knot tho just because i have lots of fighting support and grass not is really my only SE attack on waters besides cress' charge beam which probably wont be doing alot of damage regardless of whether its SE or not.

Also try getting HP Ice on Lucario, but anyways you wont do dat its oto much work

Why wouldnt I do it? Yes its alot of work but ape already has HP Ice. I guess i could give it something else instead and breed a lucario that knows HP Ice.

Maybe replacing Cress for Celebi? to have good coverage on those Water/grounds, grounds?

But thats just my opinion, dont got to change nothin if u like.

[ChaosZR]

I was actually thinking jirachi instead of cress. Jirachi doesnt cover my ground weakness but it does resist air and psychic which are my 2 main weaknesses.

[redletters]

well i like the jirachi idea. And lead Gallade sounds really nice. Personally not a big fan of Ape very worn out IMO.
