Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the 2v2 consistently because you are immobile without your R, Pyke's hook into Lucian's double-shot burst kills you before you can stack your passive to meaningful levels, and your W slow alone does not prevent their all-in.
Post-6, your R fundamentally changes the matchup by giving you a dash to dodge hooks and activating your sustained damage, but you still need Lux's root to land before committing your R since Pyke will hook you mid-channel otherwise.

Activate your R only after Lux has landed a Q root or when Pyke is clearly out of position, then use your empowered W laser to slow the rooted target and stack your passive through your active Q splash damage for maximum DPS.
Never pop your R preemptively in a neutral state because Pyke will hook you during the animation and your 15-second window will be wasted while you are stunned.

Play behind the wave and use your W to poke from max range, letting Lux handle the zoning with her longer range; do not try to auto-attack trade pre-6 because Lucian outranges your effective auto range in short trades and Pyke punishes any forward step.
Once you have enough passive stacks and your R available, look to crash a wave and force a fight near their tower where Pyke's hook angles are limited.

Do not use your E toward enemies pre-6 to try to stick to Lucian, as this is your only mobility tool and burning it aggressively leaves you completely vulnerable to Pyke's hook with no escape option.
Save E for dodging hooks or repositioning defensively until your R is active.
