Stall in ORAS UU
approved by kokoloko
ORAS gave UU many new toys to play with, but unfortunately they weren't all
very nice to stall. How is stall doing in the current UU tier and to what extent is it still viable?
Changes:
New Mega's
ORAS gave UU 15 new mega's, 4 of which already left the tier. Which could be the saviors for stall, mega Slowbro and Mega, Sableye, left before people enjoyed it and that left UU without any new mega's for stall, outside of Mega Audino.
New Moves
Fortunately, stall also got some new toys. Some pokemon you will find often on stall teams got new moves like Drain Punch Chesnaught, Pain Split Trevenant and Synthesis Florges.
New Threats
At the end of XY UU, there were some tier shifts and two of the best stallbreakers, Heracross and Mew, left UU. In exchange UU got M-Alakazam, Zygarde and many new mega's like M-Gallade, Dragalge and M-Lopunny who all threaten stall. Again, ORAS haven't been very nice towards stall.
Common things on stall:
Hazards stacking
With one very good spike setter in Chesnaught, a good spinner in Tentacruel and many good Stealth Rock setters like Hippowdon, Blissey and Celebi. The most used defoggers in UU: Empoleon, Crobat and Flygon, aren't really big threats to stall so stall often has little problems setting their hazards
Getting rid of threats
Stall got many new enemies that threaten them like Zygarde, Mega Gallade and Mega Alakazam. Which stall pokémon are pretty much necessary on stall teams to not get annihilated by the big stall and wallbreakers?
Win conditions
M-Sableye and M-Slowbro, one of the best Win Conditions stall got, are already in OU so UU have to find new win conditions. The feared CroCune is very good at the moment and Zygarde also fits on certain stall builds. What are other good win conditions to play with?
What pokémon are common on stall teams?
What pokémon are huge threats for stall teams?
How succesful are stall teams at the moment?
