here are a couple of tips. You need something that busts the shields fast that isn't weak to scyther's attacks. Lucario with power-up punch is pretty good.

Then, round out your team with stuff that rips through gyarados and scizor. I find Magnezone or Melmetal is really good, and then something fire. Maybe Entei or Moltres.

Start your team with something else and switch into Lucario. I find when you switch in, the AI freezes for a few seconds and you get a few free fast moves off which will be critical for busting shields.

Use Lucario to get off two quick power-up punches, burn both Arlo's shields, then go to town with Entei and Magnezone on the other two pokemon. Finish Scyther off with Entei if needed.
