Not a Sandstorm, Some what of a Stall Team

pochy2905

It's not a sandstorm team. I put together a quick stall team it's not what i do best so any help would be great.





Hippowdon + Lefties
Impish
252HP, 252 Def, 6 Sp.Def
Stealth rock
EQ
Roar
Slack off

Standard EV's for hippowdon. Sets up SR and Sandstorm. I considered Ice fang for leading dragons and it may well serve better, but i kept roar so he can Phaze later when spikes, sandstorm, SR and WoW/Toxic damage can stack up. Over all it’s the first physical wall and it can also help out skamory and vaporeon from electric move such as thunderbolt.



Skarmory + Lefties
Impish
252HP, 96 Atk, 160 Def
Drill peck
Roost
Spikes
Whirlwind

Standard Skarmory, 2nd physical wall. Lays spikes and Phazes. I picked Drill peck over brave bird due to the fack of no recoil damage. It can also help out Hippowdon and Vaporeon from grass moves like Energy Ball and Grassknot. And it also give me coverage on ground type moves.



Scizor + Lefties
Impish
252HP, 4 Def, 252 Atk
Swords dance
Bullet punch
Superpower
Roost

This guy isn't here to stall, he's here to revenge kill and most likely sweep the weaken pokemon with bullet punch and if expecting the switch in to heatran or other common switch in on Scizor I chose Superpower. Roost is to recover from any damage taken. The 252ev’s in Hp are to take a lot more damage.



Spiritomb + Lefties
Careful
252 HP, 252 Sp.Def
Taunt
Spite
WoW
Protect

I don't know if this is a good option. I use it as a special wall of some sort. I need WoW to cripple physical sweepers and hit steels who are immune to toxic, and i need a rapid spin blocker. Taunt stops things setting up on him, and spite is to zap PP (combined with pressure) Do i keep protect and spite or put nasty plot/ calm mind and an attack on him?



Cradily + Lefties
Careful
252HP, 164 Def, 92 Sp.Def
Stock pile
Recover
Toxic
EQ / Stone edge

2nd Special wall and a damn good one. Sandstorm gives him + 50% sp.def and stock pile boosts both of his defenses which combined with recover gives him incredable durability because he can't be roared. Status is a problem for him and i have no cleric so did consider a lum berry. It's a shame he doesn't get a Phaze attack (unless you count tickle which isn't overly effective).

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/68 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Wish
- Protect
- Hidden Power [Electric]

I decided on wish support and Vaporeon seems to be the premier option. It also gives me better type coverage with Surf and HP (electric). Surf is obligatory STAB and wish and protect are nesscessary. HP Electric enables Vap to be a decent counter on Gyrados as well, a nice attribute to have.

As you can see I’m not really good making a stall team so Iam looking for other option so if you guys can please help I will appreciate it thank you.
 
Hello.

This is a pretty decent stall team but will have a lot of trouble with Mix Dragonite and Salamence. Yes, Scizor can revenge kill a significantly weakened one, but other than that, it'll die to Fire Blast / Flamethrower, same as Skarmory. All your other Pokemon have trouble taking a Draco Meteor. First thing I'd suggest is a Blissey somewhere, best over Cradily.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold / EVs: 252 Def / 80 SpA / 176 SpD
~ Ice Beam / Seismic Toss / Toxic / Softboiled

Blissey is necessary for almost every stall team, as it beats almost all Special Attackers. This is a fairly bulky Blissey, whose job is to not let Salamence take advantage of it. If it tries to Dragon Dance on you, take it out with Ice Beam. Seismic Toss helps against Substitute + Calm Mind users such as Jirachi, Raikou, and Latias. Toxic helps with stalling, and will help against many walls such as Zapdos, Swampert, etc.

A couple other things, is that Scizor would really want an Adamant nature for the extra power boost. Impish honestly is not very helpful. Since Scizor is more of a bulky sweeper, I think Bug Bite would be more helpful than Superpower for Calm Mind Latias, as well as bulky Pokemon such as Suicune, Vaporeon, Cresselia, Swampert, etc. Superpower would only be useful to use on the switch to hit Heatran, but Blissey counters Heatran well already. You could also use U-turn, if only to escape Magnezone as to not fall into Calm Mind Latias' clutches later in the game.

The last thing I think you should change is Spiritomb to Rotom-A. Currently, Spiritomb seems rather gimmicky and without an actual attack, can't really counter much. Rotom-A would be much better, able to counter multiple Pokemon such as Scizor and Gyarados. Rotom-A poses more of a threat to Rapid Spinners such as Starmie.

Rotom-A @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold / EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 SpD
~ Thunderbolt / Will-O-Wisp / Rest / Sleep Talk

A reliable counter to many Pokemon. WoW is very helpful for physical attackers, especially Steel-types who you can't Posion. Rest and Sleep Talk let you stay around a lot longer and cure status as well. If you do make the change to Rotom-A, there is less need for HP Electric on Vaporeon. You can replace it with Heal Bell or even Ice Beam. Heal Bell would be helpful against enemy stall teams trying to Posion your walls and Rotom-A burning your Scizor. Ice Beam would be extra insurance against MixNite and MixMence. Good luck.
 
Hello, nice team, but there are a few things I want to point out. First off, I think that you should use Brave Bird over Drill Peck on Skarmory. Drill Peck simply won't do enough damage to make it worthwhile, and while the recoil damage from Brave Bird may seem unappealing, it can easily be Roosted off. I also think that you should take 16 EVs out of attack and place them in speed so that you can outspeed standard Choice Band Tyranitar and standard Vaporeon and Roost off any damage before they can attack you. Now, I also think that you should use Choice Band Scizor in place of the current Swords Dance Scizor. Choice Band Scizor as you probably know is fantastic at causing switches, and with the Spikes and Stealth Rock that your team lays down, it will severley weaken the opposing team. Use a set of U-Turn, Bullet Punch, Pursuit, and Superpower, an EV spread of 244 Hp / 252 Atk / 12 Spe, and an Adamant nature. Not much to explain here; this is CB Scizor, we all know how this bitch works. 12 Spe EVs are to outspeed other Choice Band Scizor, and U-turn to a more sutiable Pokemon before they can deal any damage to you.

MetaNite got to basically everything else :/. Defintely go for Rotom-H over Spiritomb, as Spiritomb simply isn't as effective in the OU metagame, and Rotom-H's impressive immunities and powerful STAB Thunderbolt make him a much more soild choice for the team. Hope I helped out the team, and good luck! ;)
