"%Oiawesome: my stall team comes together better than my taste buds and nutella
%Oiawesome: /arrogant"
Introduction
Hello Smogon. For those who do not know me, I'm OiawesomeDG, commonly referred to as Oiawesome, and Oiawesome on PS. This is my 3rd ever RMT and my 2nd XY OU one, my other one is one made about a month ago called "Adventure Melody" and yes while this might be a bit soon, I have decided to retire an old team of mine I like to call "Goldfish". I started using this around December when all the mega venusaur stall started popping up and eventually perfected it over time, recently I have won a long stall v stall battle with my pal Adrian Marin in a late game sweep, the game lasted somewhere around 140 turns. And then I humiliatingly lost to a deo-d hazards + taunt mega garde team by a great player I like to call ShootingStarmie so I swapped out some pokemon in order to better handle crazy taunt users like so. This is my most prideful team so far and I am glad to retire it as the complete stall team it is.
At a Glance
Current State of the Stall Metagame
So you may be wondering what this mini article I wrote up has anything to do with my RMT, well, this is an XY OU stall RMT and I want people to understand the current state of stalling so they can better understand this RMT, GL! ^_^
Overview
Stall right now is in an odd place. Standard stall teams exist but you really don't see enough stall in today's metagame to have a good understanding on what is standard or even what is XY Stall:
The most common face you'll probably see on stall is Mega Venusaur. Mega Venusaur provides immense utility in the current metagame also in past metagames. There's a reason it's one of the sole defensive pokemon that's A+ or higher in viability. It can wall an amazing majority of special and physical sweepers. However with recent development of the metagame, pokemon like Thundurus/Landorus/Manaphy have began using Psychic or Hidden Power Flying over some other coverage like Energy Ball/Hidden Power [Ice] in order to better handle mega venusaur, which has drastically changed how it and consequently, Stall played. There's also been a clever development of taking advantage of this in order to abuse the lack of coverage of things like GK on Thundy to use Quagsire to better wall them and such. In addition to this things like Manaphy and Landorus are now better being handled by things like Calm Mind Clefable. Which in itself is becoming quite the threat to offense these days due to it's ability to set up on such deadly threats like +6 manaphy.People have also began using Skarmory or Heatran in conjunction with the mega tree in order to have amazing synergy to pair an excellent walling combo in the current metagame to deal with threats such as Mega Pinsir, which I will get into later. Mandibuzz has also been quite popular through out the generation, and it's popularity certainly hasn't faded recently at all, and it's for good reason. Mandibuzz does an excellent job dealing with popular threats due to it's immense bulk and amazing movepool with things like Knock Off, Roost, Foul Play, Whirlwind etc. Like any generation of stall Chansey is a big face you will almost surely see in OU stall due to the way it single handily ignores the power of some of OUs strongest special attackers and cripples them right back. It can also preform quite a core with the aforementioned Mega Venusaur due to the way MV handles many things that threaten it like Keldeo and how Chansey easily deals with things like NP HP Flying Thundurus and Psychic Landorus-I.
The top threat to stall in the current metagame is probably Mega Pinsir. So many teams these days simply cannot handle the offensive pressure that it can easily put up while it can also set up an SD and rampage through your team, Skarmory is a great option in taking it down, Rotom-W and Zapdos have also been "trending" to take it down but the have to be more wary due to their bulk compared to skarm's bulk. In addition to the popularity of such physical sweepers, Mega Mawile is quite the threat, Huge Power, the option to SD or sub punch and it's STABs all together make it a huge problem for pretty much any stall team to try and handle, but due to the popularity of Skarmory, Mega Venusaur and Heatran on stall, it can be easily handled if you play around it well with those pokemon. Bisharp is also another big one, as it can easily come in on popular stall defoggers and set up in their face or threaten them in, even Skarmory, dies to 2 adamant LO +2 STAB knock offs. However things like Quagsire have risen in popularity in order to handle it, but Bisharp is preparing for this again by it itself by using the Grass Knot lure set by alexwolf . I consider the best counters to it to be Mandibuzz, Skarm(unboosted), Tank Zard X, and Tank Mega Gyarados. And last but not least: the special ranged threats- Mega Charizard Y is very great in today's metagame due to it's versatility between Flare Blitz sets, Special sets w/ EQ and PURELY special sets. This causes a huge problem and guessing game for the average stall team due to not knowing what exactly to switch in against it, although the safest bet is generally chansey due to the way even if it Flare Blitz's, it takes huge amounts of recoil and it will almost never KO chansey. Aegislash is well known in the current metagame for being a bitch to face for all palystyles, but on stall, it can be handled well by things like Mega Venusaur which can pretty much defeat every known current Aegislash set if it uses Knock Off or Earthquake Mandibuzz can also handle it very well if it dodges getting toxic'd by the SubToxic set. Keldeo can handle lots of things on stall with it's specs set due to secret sword handling both Chansey and Ferrothorn very well. Even HP Flying is a viable move on it in order to beat Mega Saur w/o recovery with 2-4 rounds of Stealth Rock.
Stall right now is in an odd place. Standard stall teams exist but you really don't see enough stall in today's metagame to have a good understanding on what is standard or even what is XY Stall:
- Standard Stall
The most common face you'll probably see on stall is Mega Venusaur. Mega Venusaur provides immense utility in the current metagame also in past metagames. There's a reason it's one of the sole defensive pokemon that's A+ or higher in viability. It can wall an amazing majority of special and physical sweepers.

- Threats to Stall in general
The top threat to stall in the current metagame is probably Mega Pinsir. So many teams these days simply cannot handle the offensive pressure that it can easily put up while it can also set up an SD and rampage through your team, Skarmory is a great option in taking it down, Rotom-W and Zapdos have also been "trending" to take it down but the have to be more wary due to their bulk compared to skarm's bulk. In addition to the popularity of such physical sweepers, Mega Mawile is quite the threat, Huge Power, the option to SD or sub punch and it's STABs all together make it a huge problem for pretty much any stall team to try and handle, but due to the popularity of Skarmory, Mega Venusaur and Heatran on stall, it can be easily handled if you play around it well with those pokemon.

- Conclusion
Teambuilding process
Suicune/Mega Venusaur/Heatran
So basically, this team was originally built around and still is built around, CroCune, which I can say is one of my favorite sets to exist, ever. And when thinking about what fit well with it, I saw a perfect match in Mega Venusaur and since this was december where all the mega venu stall was out, I thought I'd throw it onto this team. And then, completely unintentionally, I formed a FWG core with sdef heatran due to the way that Mega Venusaur pairs extremely well with standard Heatran, taking on many of the things that threaten it such as Lati@s w/o EQ. This is also the time I just started listening to the band "Goldfish" again so , hence forward, the team was named after them.
Suicune/Mega Venusaur/Heatran/Quagsire
Next up is Quag. Quagsire is literally one of the best stall pokemon right now, and it was back then too. It can check pretty much any physical boosting sweeper. I mainly used it noticing my huge weakness to EQ DD Zard X that could set up on me and destroy me with my current team members, it does not disappoint to say the least.
Suicune/Mega Venusaur/Heatran/Quagsire/Togekiss/Chansey
As my team was nearing completion I noticed I needed 3 things: A EQ Latios check/counter, A Defog User, and 1 or 2 Wish Users. Wish was essential to the teams initial success due to the way it easily supported many recover-less pokemon on this team, and I actually Packed 2 users of it to make sur e I could survive stall v stall due to PP and so I don't get too reliant on 1 wish user. Defog was also important because with spikes, SR, etc. this team could easily get worn down by that days hyper offensive playstyle, togekiss fit 2/3 so I picked it, and Chansey was so good at the time, I couldn't resist so I picked it, due to the way it checked many things including specs and EQ Latios.

Suicune/Mega Venusaur/Heatran/Quagsire/Togekiss/Chansey
So there's quite a bit to explain on this one. This was during the revival of this team during this month, I switched Heatran to Goodra do to it's ability to infestation trap + EQ opposing tran in order to get rid of lots of steel types. Goodra also was a great check for EQ Zard Y which Heatran fell to.
Although after losing to ShootingStarmie 's Taunt Mega Garde team I realized how taunt weak my team could be if taunted by fairies due to my only taunt absorber being goodra, so I switched it back to Flash Cannon Heatran, which also checks Sylveon and other friends. I also discovered between, Quag, Chans, Tran and Cune I had every single variant of Zard Y on lock down and able to be combated.
Suicune/Mega Venusaur/Heatran/Quagsire/Togekiss/Chansey
|
V
Suicune/Mega Venusaur/Heatran/Quagsire/Skamory/Chansey
So after a bit of consideration of both Zapdos and Skamory > Togekiss in order to deal with the very scary Mega Pinsir, I ended up choosing Skamory because it deals with Bisharp better and it also is generally physically bulkier so it's not limited to beating just one thing for the purpose of this team. Plus this team really appreciates the weakening of Mega Venusaur, Phazing and the steel typechart that skarmory brings.

Scald | Rest | Sleep Talk | Calm Mind
Overview
The all star of the team, right in the front. CroCune, as previously stated, is one of my favorite stall pokemon, and for good reason. Suicune is easily one of the most overall bulky pokemon on this team, it's bulk is incredible 100/115/115 bulk is no joke at all, this bulk lets Suicune early-mid and even late game come in and utility check many pokemon and RestTalk and then late game Calm Mind enabling it to have many roles. CroCune can not only wall and set up, but it's an amazing stallbreaker at the moment, it's titanic bulk and Calm Mind enable it to calm mind in front of Mega Saur and take <50% at +1 and then set up even higher to +2 or even +3 then res up and then take complete tickles from Giga Drain, something little Bulky Waters can brag. It's high bulk and use of Rest to absorb stalls weak moves and status lets it set up and walk all over stall if hazing and phazing is removed, and even popular phazers like skarm cannot switchin at +2 or +3 because they die to 1 or 2 scalds easily.

Top 3 things to watch out for when using this
-
- Vaporeon takes jack shit from anything you can throw at it due to Water Absorb and threatens back a Roar to phaze out all your boosts.
-
+ Roar - Other Suicunes can Rest Up all your damage and scald burns, and then precede to roar you out, making you lose all your boosts.
-
+ Roar or Leech Seed - While it is true that standard non Roar Mega Saur can't touch you after a boost or two, Roar variants take bullshit damage from Scald and Roar you out. - Wary of Scald Burns.
- Non Yet
- Hyper Offense- HO often struggles vs CroCune because it's practically impossible to 2HKO it in todays metagame, it also curbstomps all the common walls on Hyper Offense due to the stall breaking aspects of it. Things often used Like Rotom-W are utterly destroyed by this, and even things like Garchomp and Landorus-T struggle vs it due to how insanely bulky it is. It also 100% free sets up on Deo-D unless it's red card.
- Volt-Turn- Volt Turn also struggles vs CroCune because, Cune's biggest flaw, it's phaze weakness is also rare on Volt Turn as much as it is on Hyper Offense. Due to the lack of passive damage other than constant volt-switch spam, Volt Turn can often be sitting ducks for Suicune if it gets a free turn.
- Stall- Stall probably has the best matchup vs CroCune due to the often uses of passive damage such as Leech Seed and uses of stallbreakers such as Togekiss and also the uses of Haing and Phazing. Playing vs stall often requires you to pull it out late game after hazers and phazers have been lifted off the battlefield.

Sludge Bomb | Giga Drain | Earthquake | Synthesis
Overview
From December to now, there is no doubt Mega Venusaur has consistently one of the best pokemon in the metagame. This variant of Mega Saur is the standard specially defensive set infamously known for shaping special attackers movesets to addapt to it. Sludge Bomb > Roar/Sleep Powder because of Ice KyuBe, Mega Pinsir and Talonflame, 3 things I do NOT want to get a free switch in. Synthesis > Leech seed because Leech Seed imo is so unreliable and fails against things like substitute and grass types. Synthesis also lets me recover a greater deal of HP per turn. Earthquake is standard honestly nowadays in order to beat steel types such as annoying rachi and (especially) Heatran.
Calculation Center:
- 252 Atk Garchomp Outrage vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 165-195 (45.3 - 53.5%) -- 37.1% chance to 2HKO
- 252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mega Venusaur: 102-121 (28 - 33.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
- 252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Hidden Power Flying vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mega Venusaur: 124-148 (34 - 40.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
- 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 112-132 (30.7 - 36.2%) -- 58.8% chance to 3HKO
- 252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 153-181 (42 - 49.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
- 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Mega Gyarados Ice Fang vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 148-176 (40.6 - 48.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
- 252+ Atk Landorus-T Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 163-193 (44.7 - 53%) -- 29.7% chance to 2HKO
- 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mega Venusaur: 144-172 (39.5 - 47.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
- 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Psychic vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mega Venusaur: 192-229 (52.7 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 252+ Atk Huge Power Mega Mawile Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 116-137 (31.8 - 37.6%) -- 91.2% chance to 3HKO
- 252+ Atk Mega Tyranitar Crunch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 144-169 (39.5 - 46.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after sandstorm damage
Top 3 things to watch out for when using this
-
- Specs Latios is a huge problem, you can't really touch it aside from random predictions with sludge bomb and specs and LO psyshock destroy mega venusaur. Wary of sludge bomb
-
- This is fairly straight forward. Choice Band Talonflame can switch in with SR off the field fearing nothing but sludge bomb which honestly nails it for quite the damage and demolish it with it's signiture Brave Bird. Wary of sludge bomb
-
- Charizard can switch in with great special defense and then precede to roast any variant of Mega Venusaur with a strong fire blast or even flare blitz on special sets. Wary of SLudge Bomb pre-mega
Alternative Options
- Physically Defensive set in order to wall things like MegaWile harder
- Sassy Nature to beef up EQ
- Roar > Sludge Bomb to phaze stuff like SubAegis and MegaWile
- Hyper Offense- Mega Venusaur can often feel worn down from all the surprise psychics and general repeated assaults of Hyper Offense. It can take on pivtos on Hyper offense really well, it can be taunt bait though depending on the pokemon. It can also be set up bait to things like the aforementioned MegaWile depending on how early it switches into the thing. It's often scared of things on hyper offense like Kyurem and Talonflame on top of that.
- Balance- Balance is on lockdown for Mega Venusaur, lack of repeated assaults as much as hyper offense gives it easy breathing room to heal and actually make moves without getting half kod every 2 seconds. Balance also lacks the super offensive lures found oft on HO to scare Mega Venu. Common pokemon like Rotom-W are also handled by mega venusaur very well due to heal bell support.
- Stall- This is a mixed bag, Mega Venusaur does well on most stall teams but semi-stall with a win condition can gradually weaken venu to the point where their win condition can sweep. However standard stall is easily handled due to Mega Venusaur's titanic bulk and heal bell and wish support, along with usable offenses and great typing.

Lava Plume | Flash Cannon | Roar | Protect
Overview
(the name is a play on how CuneVenuTran forms such a good core). Standard StallTran + Flash Cannon > WoW/Toxic. FC Tran right now is a very good check to things like Sylveon and especially the dreaded 2 stallbreakers of the fairy type: Sylveon and Togekiss. Heatran is extremely well preforming in this metagame and I chose it because of the way it's movepool, typing and ability comes together to create a behemoth. Combine that with great defensive and attacking stats and you have got a great pivot and wall.. In this metagame heatan serves to soft counter Charizard Y, Latios, bulky Zard X w/ roost and other pokemon. Heatran can also easily eliminate many steel types like Ferrothorn from being a problem to this core and this team. It's also a great switch in to Mandibuzz, a very threatening stallbreaker to many teams, resisting Foul Play, immune to toxic, can fish for burns or phaze it out, etc.
Calculation Center
- 252 Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 102-120 (26.4 - 31%) -- 8.3% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
- 252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Surf vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Heatran: 204-240 (52.8 - 62.1%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

- 252 SpA Thundurus Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Heatran: 176-208 (45.5 - 53.8%) -- 2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery (rare)

Top 3 things to watch out for when using this
-
- Self explanatory. Takes 48% from Lava Plume however it can overkill it with Earth Power or surprise set up with CM or RP. Wary of tran's attacking moves.
-
- Keldeo is a complete dickwad, it takes literally almost nothing from your dual STAB , doesn't care about burns and can dismantle you with it's dual STAB.
-
- The only threatening set is CB if you don't burn it because Belly Drum just gets phazed and basically loses 50% of it's health for nothing. Wary of burns.
Alternative Options
- WoW/Toxic > Protect
- Resttalk in order to check things better and less reliance on wish
- Hyper Offense- Hyper Offense can give Heatran quite the trouble if he's not careful. Heatran is very much so pressurized by the top threats like Keldeo's often occurrences on such an archetype of teams. However if heatran plays it's cards right, it can do a number on hyper offense, taking hits from threats, phazing out set up sweepers, burning physical attackers etc.
- Balance- Heatran can handle some of the set up sweepers on Balance and can handle the constant pivoting, making ti a great check to balance teams. The absence of such threatening pokemon such as Keldeo and Lando really helps it's case against Balance, however pokemon like Rotom can clearly mess with it and use it as pivot bait.
- Stall- It mainly has to deal with bulky dragons, fires, and waters which makes it's job not a fun one. Variants with status can often mess with stall a LOT and cause some prblems. Lava plume variants of this set also can cause problems by chipping at stall and causing burns, Mega Venusaur also has problems vs it due to burning it before a quick Earthquake, etc.

Overview
As previously stated, I think Quagsire is one freaking amazing stall pokemon, and for good reason. Unaware lets Quagsire stop os much set up sweepers dead in their tracks, including (and especially) Zard X, Garchomp, Bisharp and Dragonite. Quagsire pairs extremely well with defoggers on both stall on hyper offense because of it's great ability to handle pretty much all Defiant users, such as Thundurus and Bisharp. Due to that, I feel like TogeQuag is an extremely potent core waiting to be tapped, as LatiQuag has already been found, I feel like Togekiss' lack of a pursuit weakness to things like Bisharp makes it easier to switch into Quagsire and handle those threats without losing your defogger due to pursuit. Quagsire also checks a number of more things such as DD MegaTar, Mega Mawile, Heatran, Talonflame etc. Quagsire if used right, immediately becomes a trolly weapon of doom against many set up sweepers and teams.
Calculation Center

-
- Lati@s are immune to EQ, resist scald, Latios doesn't mind toxic TOO much due to switching out every 2 seconds and Latias can subCm or refresh on it. Not only this but they can both hit it extremely hard with dragon STAB
-
- Mega Venusaur is the biggest annoyance out of the 3, it takes little to nothing from scald, same with EQ and is immune to toxic. It can offensively threaten back with an OHKO from Giga Drain. Wary of Scald burns.
-
- Same as Mega Venusaur except Power Whip > Giga Drain and Scald burns suck even more. Wary of scald burns.
- Haze > something
- Hyper Offense- Quagsire actually like hyper offense due to the high number of sweepers rendered useless by it's ability and bulk. Quagsire's access to recover is no joke either, as it gives it immediate reliable recovery ready to heal up for the next barrage of attacks. In addition to this, many pokemon on Hyper Offense HATE burns and even sometimes, hate toxics.
- Balance- Quagsire's least favorable matchups. While pokes on balance, hate burns just as much as hyper offense, Balance relies less on setting up which means Quagsire isn't up to it's full potential, in addition to this, in balance resides some of the most annoying things for it to face packed all into 1 team.
- Stall- Another favorable matchup. Quagsire can abuse the hell out of statuses to annoy the shit out of stall. In addition to this, slow sweepers and stallbreakers can't boost up on this thing due to unaware. Also fuck scald burns, that is all.

Overview
As previously stated, Skarmory was chosen due to it's immense support potential on this team. This is the standard physically defensive spread for Skarmory, it lets it take +2 Return from MegaPins easily and phaze or BB it. Skarmory is kind of bait for some great pokemon in the current metagame though, such as Heatran, Charizard, and Thundurus-I, which is what I consider to be it's biggest flaw. However this flaw is patched up quite well by the rest of the team, with Heatran taking on most of the threats and Quag/Cune not slouching either. Skarmory can also pair well with my Chansey on this team in order to unintentionally pair the infamous SkarmBliss(more like skarmchans, but names are names) which has great synergy in this metagame. Skarmory can also deal with defensive threats quite well, such as Mega Venusaur, Quagsire, and others. SKarmory's phazing offers huge potential for matches played with this team, as it has the ability to quickly dispatch of dangerous set up sweepers efficiently so that they don't threaten the team very much.
Calculation Center:
- +2 252+ Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 154-182 (46.1 - 54.4%) -- 8.2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
- 252+ Atk Choice Band Dragonite Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 93-111 (27.8 - 33.2%) -- 91.4% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
- 252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 126-149 (37.7 - 44.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
- +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 251-296 (75.1 - 88.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
- +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 168-199 (50.2 - 59.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- +2 252+ Atk Aegislash-Blade Sacred Sword vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 136-161 (40.7 - 48.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
- 252+ SpA Mega Venusaur Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Skarmory: 43-51 (12.8 - 15.2%) -- possibly the worst move ever
- 252+ Atk Life Orb Thundurus Wild Charge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 218-260 (65.2 - 77.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
- 252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 166-196 (49.7 - 58.6%) -- 71.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
-
- Zard Y is probably the biggest threat. due to drought, 159 SpA and STAB SE Fire Blast. When you see Zard Y the best thing to do is to generally scout the set with heatran or just switch out to Chansey in order to better handle it.
-
- Thundurus can be extremely annoying depending on how you handle it. Defiant sets can pretty much threaten you with absorbing defog for a +2 and KO you with wild charge. While standard Twave/NP sets can set up all over you and threaten you with a strong, dangerous tbolt. aka Just Quagsire it
-
- Defiant sets can switch in and absorb defog for a +2 and then 2HKO with knock off at +2, the dangerous thing is that it could be a mixed GK set in order to take out Quagsire which is quite a problem for the team in general.
- Roost/Thunder Wave or Heal Bell over current set

Overview
(the name is a reference to how it basically never dies) Ah Chansey, the bitchiest bitch to ever wall. When many people see Chansey, the ironically see their teams doom as well. Chansey was and still is a top wall in stall teams in the metagame. Chansey's undeniably useful support along with either of 2 crippling statuses and amazing bulk make it very hard to face and it also makes it very useful. I chose Chansey over other blobs like Clefable because Chansey has it in for non Flare Blitz Charizard Y and Any Latios set. In addition to this, Chansey just has the raw bulk rarely any pokemon can end up providing for the team at the end of the day, walling tons of special attackers in addition to even some physical walls as much as chansey does is a near impossible task, but Chansey ends up being able to do this. I chose this set because of the Wish, Heal Vell and Thunder Wave support my team could desperately be in need of, this set is also very standard. The Heal Bell support means that thingsl ike Heatran can afford to tank a Thunder Wave or 2, it also means, Mega Venusaur can take a burn from Rotom-W and actually afford to do so without perm. crippling itself for the match.

-
+ Substitute - SubGar is probably the most annoying thing for the blobs to face right now due to it's thunder wave immunity, toxic immunity, seismic toss immunity and Pain Split in order to break down their high HP.
-
- Bisharp is very threatening to chansey because it is one of the strongest and most common Knock Off users in the tier. In Addition to this, it can use Blissey as SD set up bait, and if Quagsire is down after it nabs an SD, good luck. Wary of thunder waves sometimes if not Lum.
-
- Keldeo's level of threatening ness against the blobs is near unmatched. Keldeo can just Secret Sword the blobs to hell and really doesn't mind anything but Thunder Wave, which just slows it down a little. Wary of Thunder Wave.
- Toxic > TWave
- Seismic Toss > Something
- Hyper Offense- DeoSharp Hyper offense can be quite the annoyance for Chansey because it lures the defog for Bisharp to get a free switch in with Defog giving it +2. If Quagsire is down this can be quite the problem for Chansey to have to deal with, as it has to be dealing with high amounts of pressure preventing it from being as effective.
- Charizard Y Offense- Chansey can really shine versus these types of these teams due to pretty much everything except for Keldeo which is easily handled by this team, is easily handled by CHansey, including their main star of the team, Char Y.
- Stall- Chansey can find a great spot on the team dealing with VS stall matchups very well as it can cause status that can be a problem for opposing stall not only this but it can clear the status and heal the damage over time caused by toxic with WishBell combo.
