The Crew
Considering
An ideal stall team would have : All three kinds of spikes, sandstorm, a status absorber, a spinner, a spin blocker, every major threat countered, wish support, revenge killing, and a lot of phazing. Of course it's near impossible to have all of that. I want you to RMT, and help me achieve that.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I PLAY WITH THIS TEAM ON BOTH OFFICIAL AND SYCLANT SERVERS.
I haven't written an RMT thread lately and I really wanted to write a new one. The four Pokémon I'm considering for my team would fill a certain role on my squad. The hippo would provide physical walling, phazing, stealth rocking, and sandstorm. Dusknoir would counter a few things like gyarados, heracross and be a great spin blocker. Forretress could provide spin support, toxic spikes and spikes. Spirit could be restalking, statusing, taunting and spin blocking. Hariyama could be phazing and knock off support, weavile and t-tar killing, along with paralysis support or restalking. I DO LACK A SPIN BLOCKER, i JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO PUT IT.
Bronzong @ Lum Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/144 Def/112 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Hypnosis
- Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion / light screen / reflect / earthquake / hp electric
Bronzong is an excellent starter and a great support pokemon. The nature and set are quite standard. The ev spread is a little odd, but with those EVs it shakes off any of mamo and tyranitar's attacks. I find that i almost never use explosion, when im down to about 20% hp I find that I get koed quite easy. The lum berry is for beating gengar, yanmega, roserade and other bronzong leads. The last move is up in the air, like I said, bronzong seems to never get the chance to hit the suicide button, so I'm thinking of putting in a support move, a gyara killing move or a move that will destroy any heatran switch ins. If rhyperior usage goes up, bronzong will pack Grass Knot.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Ev's: 84 HP/252 Def/172 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled
- Flamethrower
Ah, Blissey this thing is on almost on any stall team. It counters too much, it has nearly unbreakable SDef and decent Def. The EV spread on Blissey generates a good leftovers number, amazing SDef and decent defence. The move set is pretty standard. Aromatherapy because after t-spikes thunderwave doesnt hit much and i dont have a restalker so aromatherapy is a great move. Seismic toss and Softboiled are obvious, they heal and do some damage. Flamethrower is there because this team has no shortage of ice moves, and I have seen a great rise in skarms and them setting up on me is troublesome, it nails syclant aswell.
Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
Ev's: 252 HP/136 Def/120 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Beam
- Surf
Tentacruel is a great spinner, and toxic spiker. He is a great counter for mix ape, syclant and a few others. I really don't want to change this guy. The Ev spread is fairly standard, It hits 200 defence, great SDef and some good HP. Ice beam and surf are also fairly standard here, surf is for some STAB, ice beam is so this guy has a chance at beating mix mence, also nailing the more common sub seeders who think they can kill me, but liquid ooze hurts them. GO SQUIDY!
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/148 Def/36 Spd/72 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- Recover
- Hidden Power [Ice] or [Fire] / substitute
- Perish Song / reflect / u-turn / thunderwave / leech seed / calm mind
Lol, look at that long list of moves to use, I have no idea which to use. Grass knot and recover are needed, hidden power ice is there to nail garchomp, fire may be put there for steels such as forretress. Substitute if I decide to turn this guy into a sub seeder. Perish song is for phazing, reflect for phsyical beasts like tyranitar, u-turn for switches, thunderwave for paralysis support, leech seed for healing of teammates and myself, calm mind for a way stronger Grass knot and so that an ice beam cant 2 hit me. The EV spread is fine, out runs adamant t-tar and can either reflect or grass knot it, gets 101 subs, 300 defence and hits about 40% on gyarados.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Ev's: 252 HP/212 Def/44 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Roar
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
Zapdos is amazing, he is a phazer, gyarados counter (kinda), garchomp killer, and a great pressure staller. With only 2 weaknesses he is able to stall and wall pretty well. The Ev spread is fairly standard, pretty good bulk some decent attacking stats and a good leftovers number. The move set is fairly standard as well, good coverage and phazing. Zapdos is a good Pokémon, but can be replaced.
Gliscor @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
Ev's: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
-U-turn
- Roost
- Ice Fang / aerial ace
Gliscor! woot. Gliscor is great, he counters problematic things like luke, heracross and garchomp (too some extent). The moveset is quite standard and doesn't really need any tweaking. Ice fang is the more practical thing here but aerial ace is there so something like SDcross doesnt beat me. U-turn is for those extremely obvious switches. The EV spread is quite standard, no tweaking needed here..

Threat List
Tyranitar - Bronzong, gliscor(when it lacks ice beam). GLiscor U-turning into bronzong is quite fun.
Gyarados - Celebi lols at it hitting a nice 40% on it with GK.
Infernape - Tentacruel (mixed), zapdos(CB)
Azelf - Spiritomb, blissey
Electivire - Bronzong for any pure physical version. The mix version will not be sweeping my team, so im not worried.
Heracross - Gliscor, a sinch.
Salamence - Any physical version is taken on by gliscor and zappy, mix mence somewhat by tentacruel, and specsmence by blissey
Togekiss - Zapdos, blissey
Gengar - Blissey, bronzong can ko it gyro ball.
Garchomp - Zapdos, gliscor.
Lucario - Specs luke by blissey(flamethrower eats it, and with blissey huge sdef aura sphere is a 3 hit ko) . SD luke by gliscor.
Starmie - Blissey
Weavile - Bronzong
Dugtrio - Gliscor
PorygonZ - bronzong gobbles up any tri attack, and blissey
Machamp - gliscor, zapdos.

Slaking - bronzong, gliscor.
Ninjask - Glisor, Zapdos
Metagross - Glsicor, zapdos

Jirachi - Zapdos smacks it around, and pressure stalls it. Gliscor eats it with EQ.
Dragonite - Any physical versions are taken down easy by gliscor. Mix can be taken out by tentacruel, and specs by blissey. Zapdos can also stop it's sweep.
Mamoswine - Bronzong's gyro ball eats it.
Gallade - Gliscor to any non ice punchers, bronzongs gyro ball will eat it, close combat's defense drop does not help gallade's cause.
Yanmega - Blissey, zapdos
Kingdra - Tentacruel?
Roserade - tentacruel laughs at it and eats up toxic spikes. As a starter, bronzong beats it with its lum berry. Blissey can aroma away any status
