This. If you keep banning hard-hitting Pokemon just because they can hit hard, then no shit stall is going to become more powerful.
But although I think a lack of common sense among some members is partially to blame, I think this is somewhat unfair as I believe the main culprit is the fact that the current definitions of the characteristics assume that offense and defense are purely analogous, which is false. IMO the offensive characteristic is a little too lenient whilst the defensive characteristic is noticeably harsh. The two may have been close to analogous back in ADV, but there can be no doubt that D/P is a different kettle of fish altogether, and Surgo's timeless post about no longer being able to counter everything sums it up quite nicely.
It's difficult because the definitions have to be somewhat vague to allow for a necessary degree of flexibility and subjectivity, but there can be no doubt in my mind that they are a little misleading and outdated in their current form, and I say that with no disrespect intended at those who came up with them. It just required putting the idea thoroughly through its paces to identify the problem.
That said, I have never personally had any problems with stall in UU, although I cannot vouch at all for the last month or so since the suspect removal. Most of my success in this regard has been with Fire and Fighting Pokemon; Blaziken, Toxicroak and Houndoom have been especially effective for me in the past, but also stuff like Feraligatr and Honchkrow (didn't agree with the nomination, but can't argue with it) have been very effective. The doubling up on counters technique works just as well in UU as OU in my experience. I think part of the problem is also the idea that being anti-metagame is somehow a taboo, yet it has been almost my entire philosophy, and has given me plenty of success when I've been able to play consistently.
