This team needs something that can deal with Bisharp without being food for Clefable, a big threat to the team since Heatran lacks both Flash Cannon and Taunt making CM+Twave sets a pain to handle, or Talonflame, something else Heatran is supposed to deal with but kinda can't. Lucario fits the bill relatively well without sacrificing any offensive momentum which can be used to let the opponent get SR up (something this team absolutely wants to avoid at all costs), benefits from Weavile's ability to Pursuit trap various Psychic types, and forms a decent Fighting-spam core with Medicham. The reason I didn't give it SD is because this team doesn't give Lucario enough support to reliably set up, and that it needs dual priorities for both Diancie and Talonflame (and it needs Iron Tail for Clefable as well as stuff like Sableye and Azumarill both of which can be a huge pain)
