Ice Beam
Grass Knot instead of either Hydro Pump or Ice Beam
Staraptor

Fly
Aerial Ace
Roost
Brave Bird
Luxray
Move Set:
Crunch
Thunder Fang
Thunderbolt
Flash *or another move but not sure what though*
Lopunny
Move Set:
Dizzy Punch
Healing Wish
Bounce
Jump Kick or Drain Punch
Rapidash
Move Set:
Flamethrower
Flare Blitz
Bounce
Strength *or another good move*
Roselia

Poison Jab

Any ideas would be helpful and very much appretiated.

For Empoleon I would swap Hydro pump for ice beam and use either grass knot or energy ball.
Staraptor- close combat or U-turn
Your other pokemon look good to go.

Empoleon doesn't get Energy Ball. Drop HPump for Grass Knot and then throw whatever into the Drill Peck slot, like Substitute or Stealth Rock. Staraptor: CC over Aerial Ace. Luxray: Spark's better than Thunder Fang; more likely to paralyze. Put on Ice Fang too. too lazy to help the rest.

Rapidash learns Megahorn. REALLY good against Lucian's Kazam. And there's no need for two Fire moves. Kill off Flare Blitz for Will-O-Wisp later, when you can get the TM.
Roselia has no need for Grass Knot. Teach it Leech Seed. Maybe Shadow Ball > Poison Jab, since its special attack is WAY higher than its attack AND Shadow Ball is good against a bunch of pokemon whereas .. Poison Jab is only good against other Grass types (a lot of whom are also Poison). Oh, and if you have a Shiny Stone, evolve to Roserade.
I've never played Lopunny. Can't really help on that one.

There is no reason to replace Ice Beam on or to add in Hydro Cannon.
Go with Shur'tugal's set on Empoleon.

No, there's still no need for Hydro Cannon if you have Surf. You can just use Surf, Ice Beam, Grass Knot, either Stealth Rock or Roar (for the E4, I like Stealth Rock, but you won't be using much of either support move on them .. that last spot is for after).

If you find Empoleon slower than some of the E4, you can always put Agility in that last spot, because you don't use a lot of Stealth Rock or Roar.

Then again, Agility is an Egg Move, so that might be a bit of a hindrance. I'd replace Drill Peck with, uh, anything. Toxic or SR or something. See if you can get Leaf Storm Roserade.
