GatoDelFuego certainly has a point when saying that stallbreakers and wallbreakers are not so popular right now. It is expected anyway, with stall seeing so little usage. So this could be a factor that can help players build stall teams without worrying about one of it's basic problems as much as it usually does.

Also i am curious to see if hazards + walling with Regenerators can still work. I remember seeing a very successful semi-stall or balanced DW team that featured this strategy, with the infamous Heatran-Amoonguss-Slowbro core. Those kind of teams had one major problem though, hazards. Generally hazards are quite troubling for stall teams, as wtih SR + 1 layer of Spikes many walls fall to the Pokemon that they were supposed to counter, and switching constantly is not an option. The most threatening hazard setter for stall teams right now seems to be no other than Deoxys-D. So how are your stall teams handling this massive threat? Are there any underrated strategies or Pokemon to deal with it?
