This is my first attempt of making a stall team and so I decided to make it as cancerous as I could by combining some of the most annoying OU mons (from my experience) and it worked out decently. It's goal was to toxic stall anything that was not a poison, steel, poison heal or magic guard mon and for poison and steel types I had multiple pokemon with burn and Ferrothorn to paralyze them. Heatran is to force out magic guard Clefable and set up rocks while Chansey is for healing unwanted status.
Y is this not Poison (Gliscor) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 188 Def / 72 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Substitute
- Toxic
This set allows me to easily switch in on almost any slow physical attacker/weak physical attacker or status inducing pokemon thanks to substitute + toxic orb. Unless they have a direct answer, this thing can and will 6-0 an opponents team if it lacks powerful special attacks or a fast super effective hit. It has eq for the toxic immunities too. It pairs extremely well with Rotom-W as it can simply switch into that in situations against (insert ice move here) and any water type and reliable force most out. Only severe problem is magic guard.
Why do I exist? (Ferrothorn) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
This is the immediate response to a physical threat that sets up and beats Sableye(Azumarill) or if Sableye is mega evolved. T-wave instantly stops any fast pokemon and leech seed is for recovery. It pairs well with Gliscor, Hearten and Sableye defensively and even shuts down teams due to toxic on bulky mons + stealth rocks on sweepers. It even brought back a battle that I lost turn 1 to.
Canada (Chansey) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Heal Bell
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
Cleric with toxic just cuz this is stall and huge special wall. Great in case Rotom-W dies and forces a ton a stealth rock damage. It completely eliminates my ghost weakness as well as allows me to counter practically every special sweeper in OU. Pairs well with Sableye and Ferrothorn.
George (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Pain Split
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
Great partner for gliscor and deals with floating toxic immunities(skarmory mostly). Will-o-Wisp for physical threats and pain split for some kind of recovery. This is a standard defensive Rotom-W set so let's move on to defensive synergy. As its only weakness is grass and mold breaker it pairs well with Ferrothorn and Gliscor for mold breaker Excadrill.
Uber plz (Sableye-Mega) @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Foul Play
Standard stall Mega-Sableye set which is used for quick burns, in case of mixed Hoopa Unbound and in case a specialized wall dies. Hearten helps for fairy types. This is probably the least useful mon on my team as the rest do its job better except in the case of weaknesses and in case you somehow run into a mixed mon that is not Hoopa-U.
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 140 SpD / 120 Spe
- Lava Plume
- Toxic
- Protect
- Stealth Rock
Used to have talon flame for Breloom and Mega Venusaur but switched to this because I HATE magic guard Clefable as it beat my entire team. It provides stealth rock support and serves as an extra toxic which works perfectly well against walled steel and poison types who are forced to switch out. Unsure of whether I should change protect for flash cannon in case my Clefable bluff fails, earth power, to beat other Heatran and bulky Zard X or roar to stop Clefable who did not fall for my bluff and set up mons.
Weaknesses I am aware of:
- Magic Guard
- Fries with fire coverage
- Bulky setup
- Stall breakers
- Mega Venusaur(can outstall all my mons and abuses their low speed)
- Heal bell
- Dark types
- Gliscor
Any and all constructive criticism is appreciated and will be taken into consideration. I hope to improve my team building skills as I feel that they are stifling my skills so that I can get high on the ladder. My average record in a session is 5-2 btw. Thx :]
