Advantages: Blaziken, Heracross, Gallade, Breloom, Toxicroak
Out of those five, I see it being most likely Heracross due to it's access to Aerial Ace. Blaziken is also a possibility since it has Brave Bird, but Heracross is more powerful.
Breloom puts up a good fight with access to spore and substitute.

Lucario's steel type cancels the Flying moves double effectiveness against Heracross in round one. I dont see Toxicroak beating Machamp either. Medicham and Gallade both have the same type psy/fight
Yes, but Heracross is still a powerhouse with its 125 base attack and Guts. One Close Combat on Steel type Lucario should be enough to take it out, I think Lucario is still weak to fighting.
Toxicroak has access to Special Attack moves and if there's one thing it can do, it's poison its opponent and stall with substitue / rain dance and Black Sludge.
Hmm...touche.
However, if Lucario has Blaze kick that runs the risk of activating Heracross' Guts ability, freeing up his item slot for a Focus Sash or whatever one of those Focus items Heracross can hold.
You should start putting movesets and items and abilities on these guys. It gets complicated otherwise, lol.
