You have to train you pokemon for EV's according to which pokemon they kill.

Here is a guide explaining:

Well some small points I gotta make is that your Lucario has both Brick Break and Close Combat... what? Ditch Brick Break and get maybe Ice Punch or ExtremeSpeed.

And of course Garchomps Serious nature needs to go and get Jolly nature, Stone Edge... you already got Lucario for that but I'm not sure what the replacement should be, maybe Fire Fang or Swords Dance.

Staraptor... what a mess. First of all he's got a Timid nature (Speed+ Attack-) so for Staraptor that's a major hindrance, not to mention you got three flying type moves, Fly is useless and Aerial Ace a bit too weak but might be useful since it always hits.

And no items, well it seems you are quite new at this so this is to be expected (I once tried to use Dragonite with Dragon Dance and a Choice Band...).
