SpD Skuntank with a twist move: Roar. This set help a lot against Psychic and Ghost types that are a big threats like Exeggutor, Duosin, Musharna, Gardevoir, Haunter, etc
Poison Jab and Crunch are the two STAB moves and just with a good coverage, Poison Jab is nice since has a 30% of chance to poison the opponent around Taunt this is so good because you avoid that your opponent uses Heal Bell while the effect of toxic work on the opponent mons. Roar help to down the mainly checks of Skuntank things like Piloswine, Gurdurr, Golem or Probopass with the Spikes support. This set should be more oriented on balance or defensive teams since Skuntank has a defenses very ok and this set appreciates Wish support. A cleric should be good to prevent scald burns / WoW.
Probably isnt the best SpD wall but is just one of the best way to deal with dangerous threats while keep the pressure on the opponent team with a decent Attack and the annoying Taunt + Roar at the same time.
this set is great for stall teams that lack a way to deal with duosion, musharna, and taunt misdreavus. it has amazing bulk on the special side and can live for a long time if paired up with wish support, which is mandatory on stall teams. roar can rack up hazards damage and wear down common switch-ins such as regirock, golem, and piloswine really quickly.
