Hi Smogon, I'm new here and this is my first team ever, but I have been around on Smogon for a while. I wanted to make a stall team, because apparently rain and offensive teams are everywhere and I want to see if a stall team can still perform in OU. Most of the EVs and the natures are smogons because I don't fully grasp them and just want to go safe my first time. anyway, here's the team:
Big Bird (Skarmory) @leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 224HP/252Def/252Sdef
Nature: Impish
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost
- Brave Bird
Spikes is mandatory on a stall team (I think) and whirlwind helps shuffle pokemon and adds residual damage. roost helps her stay around much longer and brave bird stops her from being ruined by taunt. skarmory is a great pokemon in general, and close to unparalleled in physical walling.
Jelly-Belly (Chansey) @eviolite
Trait: Natural Cure
Nature: Calm
EVs: 4HP/252Def/252Sdef
- Softboiled
- aromatherapy
- Seismic toss
- Toxic
Chansey is just fantastic for absorbing all special damage and status. softboiled for recovery, aromatherapy is fantastic for a stall team as toxic ruins many pokemon. seismic toss helps her from being taunt bait and toxic helps rack up residual damage.
Mustachio (Jellicent) @leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248HP/216Def/44Spe
- Recover
- Scald
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
Man, this pokemon is quality. Its spinblocks, it burns, it taunts, it can even do some damage! recover keeps him alive and will-o-wisp demolishes physical attackers. Taunt helps against setup sweepers and scald over surf for that awesome burn.
My Little Onion (Celebi) @leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
Nature:Calm
EVs:252 HP/236Def/20Spe
- Giga Drain
- Recover
- U-turn
- Perish Song
Celebi is here to counter rain teams and other prominent threats, like starmie. U-turn is great for extra damage and giga drain's extra effect is great for it. Perish song is an awesome move that guarantees a win if the other team is down to 1. Recover is here to keep it alive.
Thunderbird (Thundurus-T) @choice Scarf
Trait: Volt absorb
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4HP/252spa/252spe
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Ice
- Focus blast
- Volt switch
This guy is my revenge killer, taking out the faster threats. volt switch helps keep momentum and complements celebi's U-turn. Hp Ice and Thunderbolt give BoltBeam coverage and Focus Blast demolishes steels. Volt absorb helps by mitigating Skarmory and Jellicent's electric weakness.
Hot Stuff (Heatran) @leftovers
Trait: Flash fire
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248Hp/252Def/8Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Fire Blast
- Toxic
This thing is here to give the team some fantastic resistances and some offensive presence. Stealth rock is mandatory on ANY team and protect helps get leftovers and scout moves. Toxic is extra residual damage, which is never bad.
So that's the team. Sorry if the RMT is bare I'm new at this and not the best person to design an RMT. Much help is needed so don't hold back, be ruthless!
Threats:
I think my biggest weakness is to Terrakion, because I have no rock resists. the lack of a rapid spinner is very painful, but I don't know what to give up to get one.
