An Offensive Player using a Stall-like team? ORLY?

[HECTORtu]

So I've been hanging in the high/low 30s on shoddy, with this team and my offensive team (which I seem to like more). I'm not use to playing the defensive game, butI would really love to have a team which could help me boost my skills in that department. This team has been doing very well for me, though I think it has a bit more potential if that little something that's missing is added. I'm not use to the all-wall game, so every piece of advice you give is greatly appreciated. Now on to the team ^___^

Don't touch me, I'm Static! @ Leftovers
Bold: Pressure
252 HP, 220 Def, 36 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Roost
- Thunder Wave/ Substitute/ Roar

This guy is a beast. My MixApe, Chomp, Hera and Lucario counter (4 threats which I definetly need some tight prediction against). Lately I've been running Thudner Wave on this guy to paralyze many offensive threats that think they can take on this Electric bird. Standard set/spread. This guy really needs some help, because if I were to face 3 of those on the same team, its pretty much game over unless my opponnet is really dumb XD.

In some occasion, I found Restalk a bit useful since I do lack a true status absorber, so great help is apreciated with sets.

I look Stupid, but I Rape you@ Leftovers
Bold: Shadow Tag
252 DEF, 252 SpDef, 6 HP
- Encore
- Counter
- Mirror Coat
- Tickle

Yes Tickle, since I'm packing a CBTar carrying Pursuit. It has definetly proven useful and helps me beat those annoying walsl such as Cress and Gliscor, which fail to do anything to it. Stops Choiced pogies in their tracks.

I am not Ugly! @ Leftovers
Impish: Sturdy
248 HP, 216 SpD, 44 Def
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Explosion/ Stealth Rock
- Toxic Spikes

Aahhh yes, the spike layer upper :O. This guy tends to get the layers of Toxic Spikes with ease, so he's doing his job + Walling some physical threats. I'd really like Stealth Rock on this team, but I just don't know where to put since Explosion has helped way too much.

Someday you'll come to love me @ Leftovers
Bold: Natural Cure
148 HP, 252 DEF, 108 SpA
- Toxic
- Wish
- Protect
- Ice Beam

My special sponge, of course xD. Toxics all those flyers/levitators and toxic stalls with Wish + Protect. Again standard spread ( I'm really bad with EV spreads as you may have noticed ^___^;).

My Uberness is not so Uber for the Ubers @ Choice Band
Adamant: Sand Stream
252 HP, 252 Atk, 6 Spd
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Pursuit

Starts the Sandstorm for awesome damage in between turns along with Toxic Spikes. After Wobba tickles the opponnet's pokemon a bit, this guy comes in to obviously Pursuit and kill the tickled ^__^.

I own in Pokemon, fail in Brawl @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature: Steadfast
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Crunch
- Extremespeed

The cleaner upper. Wobba along with its tickle tends to defeat pokemon that wall Lucario such as Gliscor, so Lucario has the Green light to sweep until it can't sweep anymore.

This is my team. As you can see guys, I have a bit of my offensive mindset in this stall-team, which is why its not what I would call a stall team, but most people do so meh. Please I'm open to all suggestions since this is my first attempt at a stall team. I've been searching for a place for Gliscor, just don't know where to put it. HELP!! ^___^

I really like how you use Tickle on Wobby to set up Tyranitar to Pursuit things to death and allow Lucario to destroy its main counter, Gliscor. I really like the Lucario sprite as well.

meh tickle is cheap as hell but w/e, if it racks up the Ws keep going for it, the only main criticism I can think of is a reliable Revenge killer and the fact that your team NEEDS zapdos, i think your putting to much pressure as Infernape just tears it apart after its gone unless you can outpredict it also, chances are wobba will be down by the time zapdos is out so make sure u kill that pesky money asap, also mixmence does a fair amount to it but you seem like you can outpredict mixmence anyways

 

[ToF]

Yeah I'm gonna basically echo what Atticus mentioned. Mixmence is a big problem, and Infernape with HP Ice can give you trouble as well. I say dump Forretress for Tentacruel. Does the same stuff as Forretress (except explode), and covers those two threats decently (since you have a Wisher, shouldn't be a problem).

This does leave you open to Garchomp though, which is never a good thing, so why not slot Gliscor over Lucario? You are gonna basically abuse Wobbufet anyway, might as well cover your threat list and let the toxic spikes work themselves rather than go for the kill.

 

[HECTORtu]

Alright then, I'll be open to more criticism. Pretty huge bump, since I forgot my password (xD I'm so stupid). Thanks for the comments so far guys.

 

[Scofield]

I read on smogon that tickle wobby and wishbliss are both going to be banned, that will hamper your strategies a bit. You should def find a way to get SR on this team as it is a staple of any stall team and hits everything that toxispikes doesnt. Maybe put it on bliss?

Beware that DDTar can take your team down. Consider something like Skarmory over Forretress as it has a reliable recovery move which Forretress doesn't. It is also a great pHazer that can stop non-taunting DDTars to stop rampaging through your team. Since every team needs at least two things to stop Garchomp, Skarmory also makes a decent option over Forretress as it is merely 2HKO'd after a Swords Dance, otherwise, Garchomp can't take it down at all.

Otherwise, looks quite solid.
