Help with Stall

[Kay [Old]]

Platinum has not been kind to stall play, to say the least. Lately my rating's absolutely collapsed and so I'm forced to come here to salvage my team. Here goes:
Edit 1: Hippow is replaced with Metagross.

Metagross@Occa Berry
Clear Body
Adamant Nature
252HP/244 Atk/12 Defense
Stealth Rock
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Explosion

Sets up Stealth Rock, and beats things up.


Blissey@Leftovers
Natural Cure
Calm Nature
252 Def/80 Sp. Atk/176 Sp. Def
Flamethrower
Toxic
Aromatheraphy
Softboiled

Special Wall and Cleric, to get rid of the Toxic or Burn that could be seriously debilitating. Flamethrower and Toxic are a good combo, though Heatran laughs at both.



Forretteress@Leftovers
Sturdy
Calm Nature
252 HP/4 Def/252 Sp. Def
Toxic Spikes
Spikes
Rapid Spin
Gyro Ball

Yeah, it's ipl's forry, which I've found surprisingly effective. Most people don't bother slamming forry with physical hits, preferring to attack it from the special side. This IV spread lets it take a few more hits to get those extra layers of spikes up. Aside from, Rapid Spin for obvious reasons and Gyro Ball as a Weaville and makeshift Gengar counter.




Zapdos@Leftovers
Pressure
Calm Nature
252 HP/116 Def/140 Speed
Thunderbolt
Heat Wave
Roost
Roar

Zapdos is awesome. Can deal with Skymin provided flinchax doesn't get too ridiculous, and thunderbolt and heatwave are made to make sure that it can deal with the new threats of platinum, notably skymin and scizor. Also serves as phazer. 140 Speed means that it will outspeed Adamant max speed Hera, and hit back with Heat Wave.

Vaporeon@Leftovers
Water Absorb
Bold Nature
188 HP/ 252 Def/ 68 Sp. Atk
Surf
Hidden Power Electric
Wish
Protect

A great bulky water, and terrific at dealing with Ape and Gyara. Also serves as a Wish-passer, which is highly useful for keeping Forry alive longer. Protect is for self-healing and stalling with toxic spikes up, as well as predicting choicers.

Dugtrio@Choice Band
Arena Trap
Jolly Nature
252Atk/4Def/252 Speed
Earthquake
Aerial Ace
Stone Edge
Sucker Punch

Given that Vaporeon can outright kill Heatran and Zapdos and Blissey can outstall him, I'm not exactly terrified of Scarfran, so I'm giving Trio band so he can deal with others things. Jolly is to outspeed Ape, and the moves are a given.

Trick users have been giving me a headache, as well as Curselax, Kingdra, and Salamence. Any suggestions?

Okay, with Hippo, you basically have 2 options; which are fix the set or Remove it altogether. Trick leads aren't TOO common, but they would definately fuck up hippo if you let Azelf or Deoxys get a Taunt (Trick on Azelf is very uncommon), And you're limited to what you can do against both of them, as well as Bronzong. And in fact, the Sand is not aiding you here whatsoever(other than the minor Sp.Def boost), and is pretty much cancelling out the Lefties of 3 of your Pokes.

Choice Band Metagross is a perfect replacement, since you first of all, are not bringing up sand to harm your team, and also have a Bulky user that can physically destroy Azelf and Deoxys, and many other taunt leads like gyara and Aero. If fact, if Choice Band is not all that appealing, you may want to try a Shuca or Occa Berry(which lower ground and fire moves respectively.) Personally I'd reccomend the occa Berry, since it can save your arse against Heatran and Azelf fire Blasts, which would destroy you otherwise.
It also helps with Curselax(and the common fire punch), and a good defence to DD Kingdra.
Flamethrower/Toxic is fine on Blissey, since you have Vaporeon to come in and threaten with surf.

Ipl's forry is pretty cool indeed, but puting explosion over Spikes (TS is very valuable in stall) would be a great way to go, since the large hit would OHKO almost everyone in OU, or at least put them in kill range with one attack. (sans Gengar and Dusknoir of course.) In this case, investing some Defence EVs into attack would be wise. (about 160)

Dugtrio is fine as your sweeper, though Even DD Mence would make a fine addition, and the occasional intimidate really helps.
Crap, i have class now. Good luck with the team! ^_____^

Hopeful bump?
