As you can see, I need help mainly with items. No, I will not evolve DewBlade. Don't ask why I put an unevolved Grovyle in my team. I just did.
umm theres a few changes to your team that are needed moveset wise - as its all dependant on physical or special :)

Never use hyperbeam moves as it gives your opponent two turns and you deal more damage with 2 flamethrowers than one blast burn and flamethrower has more accuracy, also only have one of each type of move to cover more weaknesses

Hyperbeam Moves - 150 damage + 0 damage from recharge = 150 - and 90 accuarcy
Flamethrower/Surf/Thunderbolt - 90 damage + 90 damage = 180 - and 100 accuarcy

Absol - Ghost and Dark cover the same types so you only need one or the other
Night Slash/sucker punch
Psycho Cut
Swords Dance
return/iron tail

in DP the Treeko line is more special attacker so it makes Leaf Blade redundant unless you have the right nature

Grovyle (physical attacker)
Leaf Blade
Swords Dance
Earthquake/Thunderpunch/Brick Break
Dragon Claw

Grovyle (Special attacker)
Leafstorm
Dragon Pulse
Leech Seed
Hidden Power/X-Scissor

Charizard -
Flamethrower
Airslash/HP electric
Dragon Pulse
Focus Blast

Flygon
Earthquake
Fire Blast/Stone Edge
Roost
Dragon Claw/Stone Edge

Houndoom
Dark Pulse
FlameThrower
Nastyplot
HP Grass/Electric/Ice / Will-o-Wisp

Lucario (Physical)
Stone Edge
Shadow Claw
Thunder Punch
Close Combat

Lucario (Special)
Psychic
Aura Sphere
Dragon Pulse
Shadow Ball
Hmm....

Absol: You're probably going for the critical hits with this Pokemon, so I don't see any problem with him :)

---

Grovyle: I always like to use Grovyle/Sceptile for SubSeeding (if I use it :P), so:

- Substitute
- Leech Seed

After that, it depends if you're going to make him a physical or a special attacker:

Physical:

- Leaf Blade
- X-Scissor

Special:

- Hidden Power Ice/Fire
- Grass Knot

Item: Leftovers

---

Charizard: Never use attacks that are the same type on 1 Pokemon.

- Fire Punch
- Belly Drum
- Earthquake
- Substitute

The idea of this is switch Charizard in on a Pokemon that will be scared of Charizard, so it will switch out. When they switch out, use Substitute. After that, you'll get a free turn to use Belly Drum. Your HP will be at 1/4 of your total, so Blaze activates. You might want to use a Salac Berry to give yourself a Speed boost. Then you're ready to sweep :P

Item: Salac Berry

---

Flygon: Good to see someone who likes Flygon :) Flygon is a quite effective staller:

- Roost
- Toxic
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake

Just Toxic them and heal yourself with Roost. Fire Blast and Earthquake are there to hit Pokemon immune to Toxic.

Item: Leftovers

---

Houndoom: Lolwut another Fire type? :P

- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast/Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse
- Substitute

Use Nasty Plot for a nice Special Attack boost and sweep the place ^_^
Substitute is there to protect you from stat changes.

Item: Life Orb (for more power) or Leftovers

---

Lucario: If you want to use him as a sweeper, use this:

- Agility
- Shadow Ball
- Aura Sphere
- Hidden Power Ice

Use Agility to be faster than most Pokemon, and then sweep the floor ;)

Item: Life Orb

And if you need more help, just send me a PM :D
but its all dependant on their special/physical status in the 4th generation - so a physical Lucario isn't going to do anything with special attacks etc.

Night Slash has a high critical hit ratio

Grass Knot isn't needed on Grovyle/Sceptile as it packs a punch anyway but the Subvyle is good Hak :)

Will-o-Wisp or HP on Houndoom as it will help more than Substitute cause a water or fighting would benefit from being burnt rather than Houndoom constantly wittling its own HP down due to Substitute.

What Hak has said is really helpful using Bellyzard is good in competitive matches ^^
I'm guess that's an ingame team,so here's my suggestions for a good ingame team set.Shoal Salt can be substituted for Leftovers.It's a big no-no to have a more than one of the same type of damaging moves on a pokemon(with a few exceptions).

Absol @ Leftovers
Ability: Super Lucky
-Zen Headbutt/Psycho Cut
-Rock Slide/Stone Edge
-Swords Dance
-Night Slash

(I like physical Grovyle better :p)
Grovyle @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
-Leaf Blade
-Rock Slide/Stone Edge
-Swords Dance
-Dig/Filler

Charizard @ Magnifying Glass
Ability: Blaze
-Heat Wave
-Air Slash
-Focus Blast
-Roost/Filler

Flygon @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide/Stone Edge/Iron Tail
-Roost/Filler

Houndoom @ Leftovers/Heat Rock
Ability: Flash Fire
-Flamethrower
-Dark Pulse
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam

Lucario @ Leftovers/Choice Specs
Trait: Steadfast
-Aura Sphere
-Flash Cannon
-Water Pulse
-Psychic

Yeah, I forgot about Will-O-Wisp :P

But it's probably handier to know this:

Is this for in-game use or for competetive battling?

what are the stats for your pokemon as Lucario is best for Physical or Special not mixed
Uh... I'll have to check the stats. *Goes to get game*

Okay, the attack is the highest, but I think I've maxed out EV's for Sp. Attack.

EDIT: Whoo! 300 posts!
ah ok - well i guess Kudamon X that you can use that mixed set for your Lucario it is a good set - obviously it is ultimatly your choice :) you have a great team that works well with each other - good job :D
