Please rate my stall team.

Hi, I'm kind of new to competitive pokemon. I want to make a stall team but I'm not too sure about it. Please help me with my team. I tried it on Showdown but it seems inconsistent and it often fails.
Thanks!!!:)

I usually just start with ferrothorn to get entry hazards. If there is a threat to it, then I switch out. If there is a pokemon that may be dangerous to my team and us vulnerable to ground, rock or dark type, I send in dugtrio. The arena trap usually allows for a KO. Sometimes I use heatran depending on typing. I use blissey to heal pokemon that can defeat opponents pokemon or if they are useful for late on(like entry hazards and status). Skarmory mainly uses whirlwind or spikes. I'm not too sure about when I can actually use rest in this use. I don't see the usefulness of taunt unless I want to prevent against healing or status. Also, jellicent often get KOed quickly and therefore it isn't alive to block spins. I've been thinking about weather but I don't think it would help too much(no weather abilities/no rock types for +50% spD).

1. read RMT rules http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19179 your RMT is in violation of multiple of them

2. dugtrio is not a good choice of panic button for stall teams; you need to be able to check boosted attackers with that slot, like DDmence, which means you generally require a scarfer or strong priority. duggy is fast enough to check +1 things if they're slow - quite slow - which is not good enough, especially since you are not running sash and cannot take a hit to go for 2hkos

Thanks for telling me!

It might be a good idea to start off here is you want to stall instead of posting an in detail team: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3474251

There we can more causally go over your team and hammer out any obvious issues, for example the use of Dugtrio and life orb Heatran. I encourage you to play stall, but it is wise to get a better idea of the play style before you make a team, play with it, and a RMT threadm as you are wasting your time beating your head against the wall.

I hope to see you around, hopefully what I have said isn't to harsh. :)

Thanks for the advice. But I was thinking of semi-stall actually since I tried pure stall but it didn't work out too well. My previous team was wiped out really quickly so I'm trying semi-stall.
