In the current pixelmon metagame, I realize that water is a pretty dominate type, and electric pokemon should be an answer to this. I kind of disagree on Luxray though.
I would go with Electivire in its place, with the following moveset:
(Naive nature, +Spd, -SpD)
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 SpA
-Wild Charge
-Flamethrower
-Earthquake
-Cross Chop
Wild Charge will enable you to him Gyarados and Starmie, 2 used pokemon, very effectively. Flamethrower is more for a shock factor, and hits many grass and bug types hard, such as Venusaur and Venomoth. Earthquake is self explanatory, with such a high attack and access, why not ignore the great coverage? Cross Chop allows you to hit the occasional Snorlax and Blissey harder then ever before
The EV spread is made as a sweeper should. With 3/4 of the moves being attack based, it's only making sense that you should make your attack and speed max. Investing the rest in SpA is good to make your flamethrower hit a little harder.
I agree with Some Body on the fact of Scizor. With access to Choice Band and Bullet punch, there is little to no need to go for Speed.
However, a very effective set for mew is a baton passing set. Since Mew's have access to both Nasty Plot and Swords Dance, Baton Passing becomes a breeze.
Mew
(Timid Nature, +Spd, -Atk)
252 Spd, 128 SpD, 128 Def, 6HP
-Baton Pass
-Nasty Plot
-Swords Dance
-Fire Blast
With 100/100/100 defenses, it's quite easy to set a mew up, as it can usually tank many hits from pokemon not named Gengar or Alakazam. Firstly, pick the baton pass recipient. According to the pokemon, either Nasty Plot to boost Special Attack, or Swords Dance to boost Attack. Then, after 1 or 2 boosts, go for the baton pass and proceed to sweep. In sticky situations, Fire Blast may be used, since it is a very good coverage move.
The EV spread assures you will be as fast as possible without compromising your defenses in the slightest. However, while your Speed EVs should stay the same, the defensive EVs can be swapped around to your liking.
Well, thats all. Good luck!
