I'll help with Swampert and Lucario!

Swampert-Adamant, Impish
Waterfall
Earthquake
Avalanche
Hammer Arm/Curse/Brick Break

Generally, Swampert's attack is higher so I went with a physical moveset. Waterfall and Earthquake for STAB. Avalanche to cover Grass types. Hammer Arm is more powerful than Brick Break but has lower accuracy and lowers speed. But it's not like Swampert is going to be outrunning anything anyway. Curse also lowers speed but boosts attack and (I think) defense. Or you could always stick with Brick Break.

Lucario (special)- Mild, Calm
Aura Sphere
Psychic
Dragon Pulse
Dark Pulse/Water Pulse

No Lucario needs three fighting moves when it has so much more potential than that. Aura Sphere is for STAB and in Lucario's case is doesn't need a STAB move for its other type; Psychic covers fighting types; Dragon Pulse is there for coverage as Lucario is a decent Dragon counter; Dark Pulse is also for more coverage but you could also go with Water Pulse to cover Ground and Fire types.
