my attempt at a stall team

Hey guys im new here and i was wondering if you can give me some feedback on the team ive been using. Its a stall team but it could definatley use some work. sorry if im not good at making these i am trying to learn.


over view
1. scolipede
2. mr mime
3. cofagrigus
4. exeggutor
5. snorlax
6. slowbro

1. lead - scolipide jolly 252 hp/ 252 speed/ 4 attack
focus sash ability - poison point
spikes
toxic spikes
megahorn
rock slide



He sets up toxic spikes as much as he can then moves on to spikes if he survives. I use him as a lead because hes quicker than alot of other spike and toxic spike users and i can usually get both layers of toxic spikes at least up. I also use him because he has STAB megahorn, which i use on psychic type leads like espeon with magic bounce so I can get rid of him then safely set my spikes up without them being bounced back.

2. Mr mime - timid 252 hp/ 252 speed/ 4 defense
leftovers ability - soundproof
Reflect
light screen
calm mind
baton pass

he sets up dual screens and then calm minds as much as he can and baton passes usually to slowbro or exeggutor. I choose him because soundproof protects me from roar and losing all my calm minds booosts.

3. Cofagrigus - bold 252 hp /252 defense / 4 spec D
chesto berry ability - mummy
shadow ball
energy ball
calm mind
rest

bulky defensive ghost. I use him against pokemon with a high physical attack. I use calm mind a few times, rest and wake up instantly from the berry, calm mind a little more, then attempt to sweep. I had him with will o wisp at first to really halt a physical sweeper, but then the only attacking move he has is shadow ball, so when the opponent switches in blissey theres not much I can do and im forced to switch, giving up my calm mind boosts, so i replaced will o wisp with energy ball for better coverage.

4. exeggutor modest 252 hp/ 252 spec A / 4 spec D
sitrus berry ability- harvest
leaf storm
leech seed
substitute
psychic

With his ability and item as well as sub/seed combo he can keep himself alive for quite a while. I was gonna give him sleep powder instead of psychic, but I felt that having only leaf storm as an attacking move is too limited, and besides that would conflict with the goal of poisoning the other team.

5. snorlax sassy 252 hp/ 252 spec D/ 4 attack
leftovers ability - thick fat
curse
rest
crunch
body slam

I use him to counter ghosts and psychic types because of his high spec D and crunch. I use him against pretty much any special attacker. I curse as much as I can and then attempt a sweep, resting when I get too low on health.

6. slowbro bold 252 hp / 252 defense/ 4 spec D
leftovers ability - regenerator

psychic
surf
slack off
thunder wave

not bad after mr mime baton passes a few calm minds to him. It covers up his weak special defense and makes his attacks more of a threat. Great counter to fighting types because of his high defense, psychic typing and the move psychic. Thats why I went with psychic over flamethrower, because of the STAB and it would ruin his advantage over fighting type pokemon.
 
Blissey walls your team really well. So it should be a top priority to get him out of the game. I would leave will o wisp on confagorus and wait to use him until you've taken care of blissey. That being said maybe try a poke that shuts her down early such as a mixed sweeper in place of one of your specially orientated pokes.

I'd suggest

Infernape @ life orb/expert belt
naive 252 spd 136 att 116 spa
overheat/fire blast/ flamethrower
close combat
thunder punch/grass knot/earthquake
hidden power ice/grass

As you can see there are a lot of options here and this guy can bust open some of the walls that otherwise would make your stalling more difficult. As for who to replace that is up to your discretion.

thanks =] i think ill try him over exeggutor. As you can probably tell im still new to this and its alot to grasp all at once so ive been having trouble. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Dude dont use mr mime unless you want a full bp team i would reccomend replacing him with cresselia or if you really want a baton passer use taunt pass mew
 
Half of your team is weak to both Ghost and Dark (After Exeggutor is replaced with Infernape). You might want to take that into consideration.

yeah i gave snorlax crunch and a high special defense to deal with ghosts but it hasnt really been enough. i might have to consider replacing someone
