THANK YOU Halcyon of Light!!! I wanted to say that so bad!Ok, I'll be the one to say it: that core sucks.
Off the top of my head, Landorus, Banded Terrakion, and Modest/Nasty Plot Thundurus-T can all wreck your core. Hell, even LO Starmie can 2HKO (at worst) all of those Pokémon. In fact, there are so many holes with this core, I have to wonder if you've actually even tested it, or if you are simply theorymoning.
I would be nicer about the whole situation if you weren't being stubborn and telling all the people pointing out flaws in the core that they're wrong without really giving reasons (that don't suck) for your decisions. Let's go through a couple:
1. Espeon is too frail to be setting up Screens without some HP investment.
2. Lucario has no business being mixed, as his stats aren't nearly high enough to NOT have them fully invested in. He also requires a boosting move in order to be effective at all. Non-boosted Lucario sucks. If it didn't, people would use Scarf Lucario, but they don't.
3. Lucario and Espeon might resist each other's weaknesses (somewhat, as Espeon doesn't resist Fire or Ground and Lucario doesn't resist Bug or Ghost...) but they're both too frail to be considered for absorbing attacks of any kind.
4. The only dark move used in OU is Pursuit (and sometimes Crunch), which means you can't "just switch into Lucario and get the boost" because you can't switch in at all. Use Baton Pass.
5. Mixed "Wall" Dragonite is useless. There's no reason to use Flamethrower on a defensive set because it isn't "walled" by anything. It has Dragon Tail for that. Just put on Thunder Wave.
Seriously, don't be rude to people who are trying to help you. I have no problem telling you off if you are.
@Equator Gliscor is dealt with by Hydreigon. (Draco Meteor OHKOs all).
If he were to get rid of Espeon and swap for Hydreigon, this would make a great offensive core (Hydreigon wallbreaks, Lucario cleans up late game).
Also Lucario with ESpeed, Crunch/Dark Pulse, CC, and Ice Punch makes no frickin sense.
Lucario need power. SD is required. And Lucario is a LATE GAME SWEEPER. That means for Lucario to do its purpose, Gliscor must be severely weakened or dead.
The most common scarfers are Keldeo, Terrakion, and Latios. +2 Bpunch OHKOs Terrakion, while +2 ESPeed cant because Terrak resists Normal. Bpunch is solely for ScarfTerrakion. Espeed revenges Keldeo and Latios at +2.
Landorus is beating you period. Earth Power/Earthquake OHKOs. It is also faster than you.
No one i repeatNO ONE runs neutral natured base 100s. Even Volcarona can't afford it.

Starmie outspeeds everything on your team.
Like Halcyon's argument Scizor U-turns, Starmie OHKOs Dnite with Ice Beam.
Lucario is too slow. Starmie will outspeed (115>90) and OHKO with Hydro Pump. So really, you should be switching out. Thats not an OHKO, thats called losing momentum.
Espeon needs HP investment for dual screens. Otherwise its not bulky enough. How about Cresselia? Shes got Levitate, great for Lucario (immune to ground) AMAZING BULK, and decent speed? She can set up screens with ease. and she can survive a Pursuit as well.
Sorry for my rant.
